Intel partnering with Caesars, UNLV at Las Vegas innovation hub
UNLV and Caesars Entertainment Corp.’s soon-to-open Black Fire Innovation research and technology hub has caught the eye of technology giant Intel.
On Tuesday morning, Caesars announced Intel as a new partner for the facility, set to open in January. The California-based company will provide technology and computing resources, along with research and internship opportunities for students and other partners, according to a Tuesday morning press release from Caesars.
The facility’s core research focus is to enhance the customer experience in the hospitality industry, using emerging technologies such as blockchain, data science, robotic automation, artificial intelligence and the internet of things.
Rick Hack, head of media and entertainment partnerships at Intel, said the hub’s focus resonated with the business.
“Intel’s relationship with Black Fire was important to us because it covered the area of esports, AI, immersive media, hospitality,” he said in the video.
