Las Vegas Convention Center

LAS VEGAS – Planning a trip to the airport just got a little more convenient for trade show attendees at the Las Vegas Convention Center with the addition of a real-time flight information display system.

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) teamed with McCarran International Airport to provide the displays at the convention center, which provide identical information to flight information screens at the airport. This allows conventioneers to attend to business needs on the show floor because they have the most up-to-date information to plan their arrival time at the airport.

The convention center also features SpeedCheck Advance kiosks for checking in and printing boarding passes and Airport SpeedCheck Advance, which allows travelers to check their luggage for a fee.

“We are continually striving to improve the customer experience at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and the flight information displays are a natural addition to the facility,” said Hugh Sinnock, director of customer experience for the LVCVA. “Delegates now have the ability to check in and print their boarding pass, check their luggage and monitor the status of their flight all at the convention center.”

The Las Vegas Convention Center is currently the only off-airport facility to feature the flight information displays. Six 40-inch displays were purchased by the LVCVA for $14,000 and feature departing flights for the next four to five hours during peak times and further out during slower times.

Nov. 7, closing day of the SEMA convention, was the first time the boards were operational for a large convention.
