G2E – What a Great Success!

Friday, October 14th, 2011

This year was one of the most successful shows for Carmanah Signs in the 13 years of exhibiting at G2E. As G2E moved to the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, it was not only a new beginning for the show but felt like a new beginning for Carmanah as well. Carmanah’s booth was eye-catching from the start, from the overall design of the booth to the array of innovative illuminated LED signs and LCD signs on display. Carmanah Signs even made the Las Vegas Sun paper, seen here setting up a wall mural of LED Illuminated Light Panels.

Carmanah also unveiled two new casino signs at the show this year, a sophisticated LCD table limit sign called the Vegas and a stylish LED table limit sign called the Petite, which both drew a lot of attention.

The new Vegas LCD table limit sign is a sophisticated LCD Table Limit sign with powerful promotional capabilities. We have listened to the Table Game Manager’s needs and really delivered an exceptional sign.

“After soliciting extensive input from our casino customers, we’ve packed a ton of functionality into the Vegas. We’ve designed a sign that meets all the form and function requirements for a modern casino, including compatibility with any future networked digital signage systems.” JP, VP product Development, Carmanah Signs

The new Petite table limit sign is, just as the name suggests, Carmanah’s most compact sign, designed to allow clear sight lines throughout the pit. The Petite has all the elegant LED beauty of its big brother, the Classic.

Both Table Limits signs will be available early 2012.

Golden Gate Hotel and Casino, one of the most historic casinos in Las Vegas, has installed Carmanah Signs’ latest generation of table limit signs. Golden Gate Hotel and Casino was built in 1906, which opened as the Hotel Nevada, has a fascinating history. In 1907 it was assigned Las Vegas’ first telephone with the number 1.

When gambling was re-legalized in Nevada in 1931, the Hotel Nevada was expanded and renamed Sal Sagev which was Las Vegas spelled backwards. The hotel gained the name Golden Gate Casino in 1955 when a group from the San Francisco Bay area started the Golden Gate Casino. The hotel is located on Fremont Street and is part of the Fremont Street Experience.

This historical casino has spent the last century keeping up with the times and is still going strong on the most dynamic street in Las Vegas. Carmanah is pleased to be able to provide Golden Gate Casino with the most versatile table limit products on the market. The casino purchased 17 Classic LED table limit signs and 3 sets of LED Craps table limit signs. “We’re very pleased with our new Carmanah Signs; they are good signs and work well. They have added sophistication to our table games,” says Dave Tuttle, VP of Casino Operation.

Carmanah’s custom illuminated signs can be found all up and down the Las Vegas strip and over 500 casinos, hotels and cruise ships worldwide, our other casino signs products include, Carmanah’s LCD table limit, message signs, LED table game signs, and slot machine signs.
