Hotel guest services evolved significantly in recent years, from digital check-ins and mobile room keys to high-speed, complimentary WiFi. Wynn Las Vegas takes things one step further with its announcement it is installing an Amazon Echo in all guestrooms.

The hotel plans to equip all 4,748 hotel rooms at Wynn Las Vegas with the hands-free, voice-controlled speaker that can control several smart home features, from music selection to light and temperature controls. With the installation, the resort will be the first in the world to enable guests to voice-control all of the smart home features of their room.

“As we have moved through the years, technology has always played an important part in our resorts,” said Steve Wynn, chairman and CEO, Wynn Resorts. “The ability to talk to your room is effortlessly convenient. In partnership with Amazon, becoming the first resort in the world in which guests can verbally control every aspect of lighting, temperature and the audio-visual components of a hotel room is yet another example of our leadership in the world of technology for the benefit of all of our guests.”

The hotel will begin installing the Echo in guest suites, and it will be available in all rooms by summer 2017. It will control guestroom lights, room temperature, drapes and the television. More evolved plans include a personal assistant service.

“Millions of people already enjoy interacting with Alexa at home via their Echo devices, and now they will be able to experience the same convenience while traveling,” said Steve Rabuchin, vice president, Amazon Alexa.
