Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood Latest to Jump on Smartphone App Bandwagon
The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida has teamed up with MacroView Labs to develop mobile applications for the iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and other smartphones, that will serve as a mobile concierge, area tour guide, casino handbook, and social media hub - all rolled into one.
“Our new mobile applications are a fun and easy way for our guests and customers to explore all that the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood has to offer - right from their mobile device,” says Jeanine Repa, senior vice president of brand marketing for Seminole Gaming. “Whether they are already at the Seminole Hard Rock, or if they’re planning a visit, our mobile apps offer users from virtually anywhere, and at any time, the ability to access the information that they need for their stay.”
An innovative and unique feature for the South Florida market is the Quick Response (QR) code. QR codes allow mobile users to snap a picture of the code using their phone’s camera, and using a QR code reader, can be automatically redirected to a website, receive additional information, connect to a wireless network, and other functions. The Android operating system has a built-in QR code scanner called ZXing on many models, and the iPhone Apple iOS operating system offers many free QR code reader apps.
Sample application features include:
- Shows, attractions and amenities: Check out Hard Rock Live listings to grab tickets to world-class shows. Browse through top shopping, reserve some pampering time at the Spa, or view memorabilia featuring old and new music
