City of Las Vegas
Smartphones that tell you when the next bus will arrive. Augmented reality apps that provide step by step directions and admissions fees to attractions by holding your phone to posted icons. Driverless vehicles synchronized to traffic lights shuttling passengers back and forth.
Some far off future world? Not quite. It’s all reality in Las Vegas. And what’s happening in Las Vegas won’t be staying in Las Vegas for long. It’s just the first of many “smart cities” projected to pop up all over the world in the next decade. Inspired by the vision of Michael Sherwood, the city’s energetic Director of Technology and Innovation, Las Vegas is at the forefront of smart city innovation.
