What kind of security is there or should there be at a Las Vegas casino hotel? Well, John Choate was until a few weeks ago executive director of security at Wynn and Encore. Those are Las Vegas resorts owned by Steve Wynn's company. And after the shootings at San Bernardino, Calif., Mr. Wynn hired the former Navy SEAL to upgrade security. SIEGEL: If you could briefly sum up, what are the security tools that a Las Vegas resort would have? You have the guards, who are who?ĬHOATE: Well, they have to be 21 years of age or older. And then I would say a substantial number of the security guard cadre within Las Vegas proper are former military, former law enforcement. But then you have several different iterative supporting entities for any security system - you know, the canine detection teams. You have constellations of camera systems, gunshot detection, metal detectors. More of an observation than question. Choate, let me ask you about something you said at a meeting of Las Vegas hotel executives earlier this year. You praised security at Las Vegas hotels, but you also cited the example of Disney Resorts installing metal detectors as proof, in your words, that security can boost profits, not just costs.
