If you’ve ever stepped foot into a Las Vegas casino, let alone had the opportunity to meet some of the security personnel, you know that a Las Vegas casino is an “expert” when it comes to security.
The average start-up cost for casino security is $56.5 million dollars. Las Vegas casino security is at such a level of expertise that the Department of Homeland Security is currently looking to Las Vegas casinos to help them in keeping America safe through training DHS officers on security.
We all know that security is pretty tight at a Las Vegas casino, but there are some interesting things that I just learned.
If a suspicious character is picked up in the lobby or gaming area of one casino in Las Vegas, his image and profile is sent to virtually every other casino in town to alert security personnel.
In many casinos, there are little cameras in the table, right underneath the dealer, watching their every move.
Bell captains are checking all luggage that is checked at the casino to ensure that the guest who left the bags is staying in the hotel and remains registered at the hotel.
When you use your key card to enter your room, IT and camera equipment is logging when you entered your room and recording video of the hallway to create a record of who is coming in and out of your room when a key card is used.
Cameras in the hallways are fitted with special software that send an alert to security staff if any large objects are brought in or moved out.
There are video cameras rolling and recording license plates at the valet and in driveways, recording numbers into a database.
Try not to be too paranoid next time your at a Las Vegas casino, but believe me, they are watching your every move...
