16:9: 175-Foot Wide Curved LED Marquee Lights Up At North End Of Vegas Strip

If you know Las Vegas, you probably know the intersection on the Strip down by the Venetian, Fashion Show Mall and Treasure Island resort. Like much of the Strip, this area seems to steadily evolve, and the corner that is part of TI has just lit up a huge, curved LED board touted as the 2nd biggest on that LED-riddled roadway. The beast sits atop a 24-hour CVS drug store. […]

The 16:9 Mixer – Call For Sponsors

I have had an email out to the 2019 sponsors of the annual 16:9 DSE Mixer in Las Vegas, and about half have replied that they are back in for 2020, and I suspect a couple more will be back as well. That will leave two of three sponsor slots, so if you are interested, let me know. I had one company on a sponsor wait list for two years, and now they’re in. […]

16:9: Linq Casino In Las Vegas Switches On Visualized Data Feast Dubbed Dataland

Hat Tip John Baggott of ComQi for pointing me at this … The Linq Casino on the Las Vegas Strip added a pile of new displays, custom content and interactive experiences in a refresh unveiled in June. I stayed there back in March (budget-conscious trip) and none of this was in place, but you could see renos were happening around the casino floor. […]

16:9: Palms Facelift Includes 272 Foot Tall LED Mesh Wall Facing Strip

When I was at DSE a couple of months ago, I had a high room with a Strip and west view, and every morning I’d see off in the distance a huge LED display being tested and perhaps burned in on the side of the Palms resort. […]

16:9: Big Oops! Huge LED Wall In Ruins At Mandalay Bay’s Arena

There are endless theories, it seems, as to what happened – but what is without question is that the other day, an LED wall hung on a truss for events at the Mandalay Bay’s arena in Las Vegas collapsed. It seems to have been a relatively slow motion collapse, as opposed to a catastrophic crash. It does not seem like anyone was hurt, which is very good. […]

16:9: Eye Candy With An Actual Business Model

One of the experiences repeated over and over again each year at Digital Signage Expo is checking in with industry vets and asking if they saw anything I needed to see. As outlined in other posts, going to numerous trade shows in a matter of weeks means it is hard, by DSE time, to find much that wasn’t already launched or showcased at NRF, ISE and so on. […]
