The Control4 Solution

The ARIA Resort & Casino collaborated with Control4 to develop an unprecedented level of personalized automation for every guestroom, a luxury previously only available in high-end custom homes and select resort suites. Using Control4 Suite Systems, coupled with one gigabit of bandwidth networked to every room, the hotel provides an intricately choreographed, personalized experience from the moment guests enter their rooms.

Personalized Guest Experience
When guests open the door to their rooms, they are greeted with an automated welcome experience: the lights gradually come on, the drapes open to spectacular views of the city or mountains, and the TV turns on to display a list of automated controls. Using one simple remote, guests can easily set the systems in their rooms to their personal preferences, including:

• Lighting levels
• Room temperature
• Television/video systems
• Music
• Drapes

Having all guestroom devices incorporated into one platform makes it easy to provide “scenes” that modify all settings at once. For example, each room features a “good night” button next to the bed which turns off the lights, TV and/or music; closes the drapes; and turns on the privacy notification for the room. Similarly, guests can select a “wake-up” scene where lights and music gradually come on, the temperature adjusts, and the drapes open for a more soothing wake-up experience.

One gigabit of fiber bandwidth in each guest room delivers unrivaled Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the hotel. Taking connectivity one step further, each room also has a 42-inch LCD HDTV, which can be connected to a laptop and used as a big-screen monitor, or connected to game consoles, cameras and MP3 players. It also serves as a convenient communications center, displaying messages about new voicemails, package receipts and more.

Energy Savings
CityCenter’s in-room technology offers an unobtrusive and easy way to conserve precious resources such as energy and water. This not only benefits the environment, but the hotel’s bottom line as well. Furthermore, the wireless nature of the Control4 system reduced the need for costly conduit and wiring —saving money in construction costs and helping the environment by consuming fewer construction materials.

At the guestroom level, the Control4 Suite System can be programmed to automatically shut down a room when it is unoccupied, turning down or off the heating/cooling system, televisions, lights and any appliances. According to Bobby Baldwin of CityCenter, Control4 technology gave them innovation points towards their LEED Certification.
