The Venetian cites short-term web outage for weekend disruptions | Casinos & Gaming

Guests of a Las Vegas Strip resort encountered service disruptions Saturday night as a system outage affected gaming, check-in and on-site purchases.

The Venetian Resort cited an web situation for the weekend disruption and stated most operations have since resumed.

“We were experiencing an issue with our internet that affected some of our systems at the resort,” a spokesperson for The Venetian Resort Las Vegas instructed the Review-Journal on Sunday morning. “Our IT team has restored our systems, and the resort is working toward normal operations.”

By noon, it appeared most programs had been functioning usually on the Strip property. A couple of slot machines displayed digital messages concerning down programs or restart required, however that was the one indication something had been amiss the evening earlier than.

On Saturday afternoon, guests had been annoyed by a digital outage. The resort’s Wi-Fi went down someday round 4:30 p.m., in keeping with a number of individuals on the property. Slot gamers couldn’t get tickets from machines, cellular check-in was unavailable, resort visitors couldn’t use the in-room cellphone, and eating places had been unable to cost purchases again to visitor rooms.

“I was worried about getting into our room (last night),” stated Isabella Cortez, who was sitting at one of many handful of inoperable slot machines scattered all through on line casino ground of The Venetian on Sunday afternoon. “It took a while to check in.”

Cortez stated she and her mates left the property to eat Saturday evening as soon as they caught wind of different visitors not having the ability to cost meals to their rooms.

“It changed our whole night,” the 28-year-old from Texas stated. “We adjusted and it didn’t ruin anything. But the vibe was weird all night.”

Others who skilled the short-term disruptions on Saturday had been equally understanding.

“These things happen,” stated Rodney Gardner, a 41-year-old engineer from Maryland. “You make the most of what (is available) and try not to just enjoy what you can. I mean, I didn’t come to Vegas to use the phone anyway.”
