Las Vegas Westgate (Velvet) Sportsbook

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

The Las Vegas Westgate (nee Hilton) has this fantastic sports book (in the United States a sports book, or a race and sports book, is a place where a gambler can wager on various sports competitions, including golf, football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, horse racing, boxing etc.)

Up until last June during #Infocomm15 in Orlando we had only seen small samples of the Christie Velvet line of built-to-order, high resolution indoor LED panels.

In last autumn’s refurbishment, the 240 feet wide 2.5mm pitch curved LED screen was installed across the entire width of the sport book area – by our reckoning, that makes the whole screen a 64 mega pixel display.

We had heard of this near-mythical huge install but it was only last week during #CES2016 that we managed to get to see the install for ourselves.

For anyone heading in our industry heading to Vegas this year for #dse2016 or #Infocomm16 this very slight detour from the LVCC is well, well worth it.

Truly superb.
