Resorts World Las Vegas has integrated 5800 cameras and advanced analytics across its 88-acre property using Milestone Systems’ XProtect platform, aiming to boost security, gaming compliance and operational efficiency
Security teams at Resorts World Las Vegas are now tracking every corner of the 88-acre Strip property through a network of nearly 5800 cameras, all linked by Milestone Systems’ XProtect video management software. The move marks one of the largest surveillance deployments on the Strip, with the system already credited for speeding up investigations and supporting law enforcement responses.
Unlike traditional casino surveillance setups, Resorts World’s approach goes beyond monitoring for theft or cheating. The open-platform XProtect system integrates analytics, facial recognition, people counting, and heat mapping, giving operators a single interface to manage everything from gaming compliance to guest movement patterns.
Inside the Surveillance Upgrade
Opened in 2021 at a cost of $4.3 billion, Resorts World Las Vegas includes more than 3,500 rooms, a 117,000-square-foot casino, and multiple entertainment venues. Managing security across such a sprawling property requires more than just cameras—it demands a platform that can handle thousands of feeds and specialized technologies without overwhelming staff or creating blind spots.
The backbone of the new system is Milestone XProtect, which connects cameras from Axis Communications, Bosch, and Hanwha Vision. BriefCam’s forensic video review tools, Oosto’s facial recognition, and Aeyesky’s card-counting detection are all integrated, while AXIS Case Insight analyzes foot traffic and customer behavior. According to the resort, this setup allows for rapid investigation of fraud, theft, and any incident that could impact operations or regulatory compliance.
Operational Impact and Future Plans
Resorts World’s surveillance overhaul is not just about catching bad actors. The resort is leveraging video analytics to inform operational decisions, such as optimizing staffing, tracking guest flow, and identifying high-traffic areas. The property plans to expand these capabilities with additional AI-driven tools, including enhanced people counting and behavioral analytics, aiming to streamline workflows and enable more proactive investigations.
During time-sensitive incidents, the system has already helped teams respond faster and conduct more efficient investigations, according to the resort. This mirrors a broader trend among major Las Vegas properties, where technology is increasingly used to balance security, guest experience, and regulatory demands. For context, other Strip resorts have also invested in high-tech surveillance and guest analytics, as seen in reported earlier developments downtown.
What This Means for Las Vegas Resorts
With thousands of cameras and a suite of analytics tools now in play, Resorts World Las Vegas is betting that technology can deliver both tighter security and smarter operations. The open architecture of the XProtect platform means the resort can continue to add new capabilities without locking itself into a single vendor or system. This flexibility is critical as regulatory requirements evolve and guest expectations shift.
Resorts World’s investment in surveillance technology is a clear signal that the Strip’s newest megaresort is not content to follow old playbooks. By fusing security, compliance, and operational intelligence into a single ecosystem, the property is setting a new standard for how Las Vegas resorts manage risk and efficiency. The days of siloed surveillance rooms and reactive investigations are fading—at least for operators willing to invest in the infrastructure to keep pace with the city’s scale and complexity.
