The cashless festival was a part of the theRock N Rio Las Vegas festival last weekend. The festival enters the second weekend of its all cashless event tonight at the new MGM Festival Grounds on the North end of the Las Vegas Strip..Over 45,000 fans attended and used the all cashless system at the event last weekend. The event attendess either could preload cash on their wristbands for usage at the event, or upon arriving at the event visit topoff stations to add funds at six booths or at the liquor locations. By tapping their wristband they could check their balance, and make purchases at each of the 73 purchase points. The system provided to the event by INtellitix (www.intellitix.com) uses RFID and a closed system which enables all funds to be managed within the festival. Early reports are that with a few opening day glitches,the system had no issues and handled transactions without any issues.
GF Strategies was at the event to test the system and to look at considering the system for the many venues that the firm works with nationwide. for more information visit www.intellitix.com.
