Robots roam Pechanga Resort Casino to enhance security
The Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula last month began employing two robots — one that stands motionless in the valet parking area and a mobile rocket-shaped automaton that patrols the lobby area — in addition to the 300-person security staff and thousands of mounted surveillance cameras.
Hotels across the country have enhanced security since the Oct. 1 massacre in Las Vegas, according to the American Hotel and Lodging Assn., the trade group for the nation’s hotel industry. The mass shooting, carried out from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, killed 58 people and wounded 851 others attending a nearby outdoor concert.
