Its mission is to go where no app has gone before in answering the age-old Las Vegas question: “What now?” Because having the most fun in Las Vegas isn’t just about what you’re doing now. It’s about what you’re doing next. This is a useful, intuitive-to you, real-time, insider-sourced, comprehensive connection to fun in Las Vegas, serving up all the information you need, the way you want it, so you can have the best time possible when you’re in Las Vegas. If you're not in Vegas, the app allows you to easily plan and book your upcoming Vegas vacation. And, when you're in Vegas, the app really shines.It: • Geo-informs results so you know what’s happening near you. • Geo-locates you in relation to target destinations. So “where’s the bathroom?” is really “where’s the nearest bathroom?” • Allows you to wishlist all your favorite Vegas experiences. • Presents information in both object and theme sets, so for instance, you can look up spas, bars, or magic shows as easily as you can look up Off the Beaten Path, All-Night Party, or Hangover Helpers (most likely in that order). • Allows you to search for your Vegas experience by date, interest, staff picks and more.
