Date Announced: 19 Mar 2009 -- M Resort Spa Casino Shines with Daktronics LED Video SignageBROOKINGS, S.D. –- What would Las Vegas’ newest billion dollar casino resort be without dynamic LED signage? That’s exactly what M Resort Spa Casino officials pondered last fall before they contracted and purchased two outdoor LED video displays and ProPixel® freeform video elements for two channel letter logo displays from Daktronics Inc. (NASDAQ-DAKT) of Brookings, S.D., the world’s leader in LED displays.Measuring approximately 24-feet-high by 38-feet-wide, installers placed two LED video displays back-to-back on the M Resort’s front entrance pylon marquee. Prior to the March 1st grand opening, display operators advertised the date with pre-recorded video and animations. The M Resort plans to use the display primarily for on-premise property advertising.Not to be outdone, Daktronics ProPixel® freeform video puck elements illuminate two 44-feet-tall channel letter displays placed on opposite ends and sides of the M Resort’s 400-feet-tall tower. Perfect for unconventional shapes, ProPixel® elements can be added anywhere architects desire an artistic video effect.Daktronics video technology helps enhance gaming facilities themes and provides incredible ambiance that keeps guests returning. By pushing the boundaries of LED technology, Daktronics video displays wrap structures of any shape and size, add dimension and dynamics to flat surfaces, and turn gaming facilities’ logos into impacting,motion-driven signage.Positioned along South Las Vegas Boulevard and St. Rose Parkway, the upscale, service and value-oriented M Resort has officially become the newest addition to the Las Vegas Strip.
