Caesars Entertainment and UNLV announced they will build a gaming and hospitality technology innovation space, complete with mock hotel rooms, a casino floor and sportsbook.

While some casino companies are content with stifling new development, Caesars Entertainment is looking to the future and is enthusiastic about innovation. It has connected with the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) to launch the Black Fire Innovation center, a hub designed to focus on innovation and education for the casino and hospitality industries.

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Caesars Entertainment have linked-up to create Black Fire Innovation, a 43,000 square foot technological hub designed to test and showcase new gaming and hospitality concepts.

On Monday, April 29, UNLV and Caesars Entertainment announced the formation of the new “Black Fire Innovation,” a technology hub they describe as a place where new gaming and hospitality concepts will be created and tested.

UNLV and Caesars Entertainment are coming together to push the gaming and hospitality industry forward.
