MGM Looks to Restart Vegas Conventions With Rapid Covid Tests
- Limits on attendees has crimped meeting business in the city
- Other efforts include prepackaged food and temperature checks
MGM Resorts International is making a bid to win back its lucrative meetings and conventions business by borrowing some technology from the National Hockey League.
The company, the largest operator of casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, will deploy temperature checks, rapid Covid-19 testing and mobile IDs, to screen and reassure customers returning to the city for business. The technology, provided by Impact Health and Secure Identity LLC’s Clear, was also used by the NHL during its playoffs.
