MGM Resorts International has implemented an innovative wireless
control network at its Mandalay Bay Convention Center to digitize
more than 1,600 light fixtures covering approximately 1 million
square feet of floor space across six exhibit halls. Current,
powered by GE (NYSE: GE) installed its Daintree* wireless controls
network to reduce the amount of supplemental lighting required for
major trade shows while gaining exhibitor-specific control
capabilities in Mandalay Bay’s giant convention center, the
second-largest in Las Vegas. Daintree, which combines Intel
technology with web-based software to automate energy management,
building control and system configuration from any location, was
recently designated as an Intel® Market Ready Solution.

The new digital network was showcased earlier this year at one
of Las Vegas’ largest trade exhibitions, UBM Fashion’s MAGIC Trade
Show, where organizers reported that the need for supplemental
lighting was nearly eliminated compared to prior years. The ability
to modify light levels from 0-100 percent, along with real-time
management capability above each booth, was a game changing benefit
for a fashion-forward show like UBM’s MAGIC, which opened another
show at the Mandalay Bay today.
“Current’s Daintree controls are supporting our energy saving
goals while improving the customer and client experience,” said
Chris Magee, Vice President of Sustainable Facilities at MGM
Resorts. “Strong partners with significant commitment to the
environment are what makes these types of projects a success.”
Energy Resources of Boulder, CO worked with Current to implement
the platform as a first step toward fully digitizing the facility’s
lighting infrastructure. MGM Resorts is also exploring adding
additional functionality that would integrate the lighting system
data with its corporate building analytics platform.
“For many years, Las Vegas has sat at the epicenter of building
innovation, and we are excited to be working with the MGM Resorts
team to pioneer the next generation of digital lighting
technology,” said Garrett Miller, Chief Digital Officer at Current,
powered by GE. “The granular control capabilities of our Daintree
system at a site as large as Mandalay Bay demonstrates the
potential to extend beyond energy savings.”
Daintree is Current’s second platform to be designated as an
Intel Market Ready Solution. Current and Intel also jointly market
and sell Current’s CityIQ™ platform, which is being deployed in
cities like San Diego, Atlanta and Portland, OR.
“From office buildings to convention centers to city streets,
our collaboration with Intel is transforming urban infrastructure
into more intelligent environments,” said Miller.
