LEA Professional Amplifiers Help Set the Mood Across a Stunning New Resort in Las Vegas

Located within walking distance of the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall Expansion, a new resort is quickly becoming the go-to destination for style-obsessed vacationers and convention-goers who value luxury and comfort. The resort has over 3,600 rooms and suites, a 170,000 square foot casino, 550,000 square feet of meeting space, 36 bars and restaurants ranging from ultra-fine dining to elevated casual, a world-class spa, 3,800-seat theater, a nightclub, and 90,000 square feet of retail space. It’s truly a sight to behold.

 

From the time the prime Las Vegas strip real estate was purchased, the resort was a dream 20 years in the making. Its sleek architectural design and soaring tower make it an iconic addition to the city’s skyline. Every aspect of the resort is curated to delight the senses, including the audiovisual experiences.

 

Early in the construction process, resort staff contacted Richard Reisig, Owner of Technology West Group, to design and install the AV throughout the massive property. With successful collaborations in and around Las Vegas spanning over 20 years, Reisig’s team was the natural choice to provide audio solutions that aligned with the experiential goals the resort was seeking.

 

“It was a struggle during the pandemic to get products from anyone,” said Reisig. “We were far down the installation path when we discovered the originally specified amps couldn’t be delivered on time. Everything was on the network already, so we needed network-based amplifiers. There was no going back, so we pivoted to LEA. It was our first time working with LEA amps, which was very exciting for us, and the project turned out great.”

 

Technology West installed 297 Dante Connect Series amplifiers, utilizing a mixture of Connect Series 354D and Connect Series 704D amplifiers to power the property’s audio. With 96kHz-capable Dante and AES67 connectivity options, the IoT-enabled 4-channel 354D provides 350 watts per channel, supports Hi-Z (70V or 100V) and Lo-Z selectable by channel, and features Smart Power Bridge technology. The

 

354Ds power over 1500 Sonance in-ceiling, surface mount, and hanging loudspeakers throughout the resort. Similar in features, the 704D offers 700 watts per channel across four channels for higher wattage needs across the property.

 

Technology West utilized LEA’s free SharkWare software to configure a base profile and push it out to all the pre-staged LEA amplifiers. SharkWare includes amplifier grouping, offline design, granular user access control levels, locked speaker tunings, and a graphical EQ. SharkWare also allows users to monitor the status of every amplifier connected to the network and the status and performance of individual channels. In addition, the software gives users the ability to view and adjust channel settings such as input settings, signal generator, crossover, equalizer, limiter, and load monitoring for all LEA Professional Connect Series amplifiers.

 

As the second most expensive resort in Las Vegas, it sets a new standard of extravagance, inviting guests to indulge in the ultimate Las Vegas experience, where every moment is infused with unparalleled luxury and sophistication. The seamlessly integrated AV immerses guests in the Art Deco-inspired ambiance. Staff like that they can open a browser and use LEA’s WebUI to “pop in” and verify the status of all the amplifiers property-wide, saving them significant time and simplifying troubleshooting.

 

“This resort was kind of unique for us, and LEA checked all the boxes perfectly,” said Reisig. “The integration capabilities of SharkWare were a game changer for this project, turning what used to be a time-consuming task into a simple process and allowing us to focus on making everything sound great.”
