Las Vegas: A Global Showcase for Digital Infrastructure Solutions
Las Vegas has redefined how cities connect people, technology, and experiences. Beyond the dazzling lights and energy, the city operates as one of the world’s most advanced digital ecosystems—a living example of how digital infrastructure solutions shape modern global connectivity.
Every year, more than 40 million visitors arrive for conventions, concerts, and international sporting events. They expect fast, reliable, and uninterrupted mobile access—from cashless payments and in-app room service to live streaming and digital betting. None of it works without robust digital infrastructure solutions built to scale seamlessly under pressure.
Las Vegas: The Ultimate Test for Digital Infrastructure Solutions
Few places challenge network performance like Las Vegas. Its density, diversity, and nonstop activity make it a proving ground for next-generation connectivity.
When MGM Resorts International, operator of landmark properties such as the Bellagio, ARIA, Cosmopolitan, and Mandalay Bay, expanded its mobile-first guest experience, reliable connectivity became mission-critical. From digital room keys to real-time sports wagering, every service depended on high-performance infrastructure.
Extenet responded by designing one of the largest in-building wireless networks in the U.S., spanning 16 properties and serving tens of thousands of guests daily. At the heart of this deployment is a neutral host DAS that supports multiple carriers on shared infrastructure.
This neutral host DAS solution delivers the efficiency and reliability required for large-scale environments—forming part of Extenet’s broader suite of digital infrastructure solutions that connect venues, carriers, and guests with consistent, high-quality service.
From Formula 1 to the Super Bowl: Networks Built for the Biggest Stages
The 2023 Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix pushed connectivity to its limits. The 3.8-mile circuit, cutting through the heart of the Strip, required instant, high-bandwidth performance for teams, broadcasters, and fans worldwide.
Extenet’s fiber network powered the entire event, handling telemetry data, live video transmissions, and fan engagement seamlessly. The same network later supported Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, once again proving that Extenet’s digital infrastructure solutions deliver high-capacity, low-latency performance when it matters most.
These projects illustrate how neutral host DAS and fiber connectivity are redefining event readiness. They’ve become essential components for everything from global broadcasts to immersive fan experiences.
Expanding Connectivity Across the City
While Extenet’s in-building networks power the city’s top resorts and arenas, our outdoor digital infrastructure solutions connect the spaces in between, linking visitors, venues, and carriers across the Las Vegas landscape.
Our extensive outdoor small-cell and fiber deployments across Clark County and along the Las Vegas Strip provide high-capacity coverage where it’s most needed—on streets, walkways, and outdoor venues. These solutions enhance carrier performance and public connectivity during the city’s biggest events, from New Year’s Eve to the Grand Prix.
Working closely with local partners, Extenet has built an outdoor fiber backbone designed for scalability and speed, supporting future 5G, private wireless, and edge applications. This integrated approach, combining outdoor small cells, neutral host DAS, and private wireless networks, ensures seamless experiences from the casino floor to the city streets.
Fiber First: The Foundation of Connected Cities
Every resilient network begins with fiber. Extenet’s fiber connectivity solutions link properties, data centers, and outdoor venues into a high-performance grid that powers the connected economy of Las Vegas.
With 4,400 route miles of fiber supporting over 40,000 small cells and 600 distributed networks nationwide, Extenet operates one of the most extensive digital infrastructure footprints in the U.S.
This foundation enables a layered approach combining neutral host DAS, private wireless networks, and managed services—delivering unmatched capacity and reliability for casinos, convention centers, resorts, and entertainment venues.
As AI, cloud computing, and edge technologies continue to evolve, fiber infrastructure ensures Las Vegas remains ahead of demand, setting the standard for smart, connected cities.
Lessons from Las Vegas: Connectivity as a Competitive Edge
Las Vegas demonstrates that network performance is more than an operational need—it’s a strategic advantage. For venue operators and hospitality leaders, seamless connectivity has a direct impact on guest satisfaction and brand perception.
Early investment in digital infrastructure solutions gives properties an edge: faster service, smarter operations, and enhanced digital experiences. For cities, it attracts world-class events and global exposure.
By integrating neutral host DAS, fiber, and private wireless networks, Las Vegas has built a model infrastructure capable of supporting both local activity and international demand. Extenet brings this same expertise nationwide, partnering with carriers, enterprises, and venue owners to deliver networks where technology quietly enhances every experience.
Making Connectivity Effortless: How Neutral Host DAS Simplifies the Experience
The best networks are invisible—users never think about the signal; they expect it to work. That effortless experience is what Extenet designs for every deployment.
Achieving it requires foresight and precision. Networks must anticipate growth rather than react to it. Extenet’s digital infrastructure solutions, powered by neutral host DAS, fiber, and small-cell systems, deliver reliable connectivity for all environments—from the Las Vegas Strip to arenas, campuses, and enterprise spaces nationwide. By prioritizing scalability and intelligence, Extenet makes connectivity simple for users—and powerful for operators.
