“Our new mobile interactive campaign is an opportunity for Wynn to directly communicate with visitors based upon their location in Las Vegas,” said Marilyn Spiegel, president of Wynn Las Vegas and Encore. “This technology offers a fun, interactive way to help travelers make an informed decision about their plans.”
Through the partnership with Show Media, Wynn Las Vegas has the exclusive rights to programming featured within the taxis and created custom content specific to the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown, offering real-time relevant information to visitors.
“The goal of this program is to entertain and engage passengers in the first dedicated interactive network featuring Steve Wynn to promote Las Vegas and showcase one of the premier resorts in Las Vegas,” says Laurence Hallier, founder and CEO of Show Media. “With more than 50,000 passengers interacting with the network daily, we anticipate that the feedback and brand awareness will be tremendous and appreciated by visitors.”
Each taxi cab is equipped with Show Media’s proprietary mobile device system which includes a 10.1″ high-definition monitor with touch screen technology and is built on Google’s Android operating system. The technology is GPS driven and geo targets visitors based upon the point of embarkation. The exact locations are determined by a geo fence—a boundary defined around the location or area on the Earth’s surface—with accuracy up to a 300 foot radius. The geo fence zones allow for relevant messaging to play, greeting visitors with a precise location-specific message from Steve Wynn, chairman and CEO of Wynn Resorts.
The video will serve as an up-to-date information source for visitors and is consistently updated via Mobile Device Management (MDM).
