NEC delivers strong solutions to Eldorado Hotel Casino & Silver Legacy Resort Casino

 Challenge Solution
While the Silver Legacy Resort Casino and the Eldorado Hotel Casino are physically connected via a mezzanine skywalk, the two properties operate as two separate companies that actually compete for business.

When both properties’ legacy solutions reached end of life, management anticipated problems. “The systems’ age had us concerned about an outage, and with the solutions being discontinued, finding replacement parts sometimes took up to 48 hours,” says Cindy Carano, executive director of hotel operations for the Eldorado Hotel Casino.

The Eldorado Hotel Casino and the Silver Legacy Resort Casino needed two, updated communications solutions that improved reliability, employee communications and its guests’ experience.

 Challenge Solution
Developers and staff were challenged to create a luxurious facility that would deliver the “wow” factor at every turn, along with exemplary customer ser­vice. There were to be no shortcuts on either luxury or performance in every aspect of the hotel.

A cross-functional committee carefully considered every aspect of telecommunications to ensure that it reflected the level of sophistication, elegance, and customer satisfaction that was to be the hallmark of everything in the new hotel.
