Sky Ute Casino Resort Upgrades Guests' In-room Experience
One of Colorado's finest attractions wins big with new HD in-room entertainment and interactive services solution from the industry leader
IGNACIO, CO - MAY 17, 2010 - The Southern Ute Indian Tribe is well-known for creating a spectacular Las Vegas-style experience at their Sky Ute Casino Resort in Ignacio, CO. And now, they've raised the bar again by enhancing the in-room environment of their spectacular hotel by adding KoolConnect's IntrigueTM High Definition Video on Demand and Interactive TV solution.
“Although we opened our hotel in November, 2008, we waited to select an in-room entertainment system until we found the right solution,” said Sky Ute Casino Resort Executive Director of Operations Travis Garlick. “Everything about our resort is extraordinary and it was hard to find something that delivered the unique guest experience that we wanted to offer. KoolConnect, however, turned out to be the perfect fit.”
The 142-room hotel is just part of the extensive resort offerings of this spectacular facility in the beautiful countryside southwest of Denver. In addition to beautiful accommodations, Sky Ute also features a 45,000 square-foot casino, five restaurants with cuisine ranging from gourmet fare to comfort foods, extensive meeting space, live entertainment and more.
Sky Ute Casino Resort will debut their new High Definition Video on Demand and interactive TV solution in their hotel on May 20th.
