Harrah's has also created a suite of "hip" new applications specifically for the venue including High Roller bowling, Dissed multiplayer pickup pinball, and a Last Call musical memory game.
In addition, there's food and drink ordering with a a mixologist feature that lets users order their own signature cocktails for themselves or to send to that "special someone" across the room.
And flirting gets a tech twist too with the option to "chat" between Surface tables and "strategically placed" video cameras at each Surface allow guests to take and send photos across the lounge. Hardware, Desktop PCs, Microsoft, Microsoft Surface
