LAS VEGAS, June 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Otis reputation
for outstanding reliability and deep experience with major projects
will be on full display when the company's products are installed
in the new Resorts World Las Vegas entertainment complex.
When fully completed, more than 200 units will keep patrons
efficiently moving throughout the new resort. Otis is a unit of
United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
"Our Otis Las Vegas team created the blueprint for completing
casino and resort projects on time," said Tom Vining, president, Otis Americas. "We're
honored that Genting Group placed their trust in us, and we're
committed to performing uncompromising work in preparation for the
2020 opening of this new Las Vegas
landmark."
More than 80 Otis field mechanics will work together to install
