Isn't the point of visiting a place to experience it? What's the point of flying/driving somewhere only to put on a VR headset when you arrive?

- giarc 7y agoI suspect the hotel would attract conference groups focused on gaming and tech.
- mumblemumble 7y agoTrying to impress people from those groups with hotel-supplied VR headsets would trap them into a pretty heinous rendition of the Red Queen's Race. I'm guessing sci-fi and furry conventions would offer a better product-market fit. By definition, most the people there are there on leisure time, so they'll be generally more interested in playing. And the crowd won't be a bunch of people who are making a career of rendering all the hotel's expensive electronics obsolete.
- jandrese 7y agoAccording to an article I read they're planning to outfit the conference rooms with the infrastructure to support eSports tournaments. Otherwise it's an ordinary hotel with retro-gaming themed decorative elements designed to appeal to Gen X and Baby Boomers.
