Secret shoppers were sent out to evaluate 600 customer touch-points across the LV Strip, LV Locals and Downtown LV gaming properties on re-opening weekend and again two weeks later to learn how well brands were maintaining consistent safety standards and where there may be opportunity to continue to focus for optimal brand perception.
According to the study, the LV Strip properties and Downtown properties scored the highest consistently among all three key segments.
"This is a very positive story," said Greg Chase, Founder and Chief Thought Provoker of Experience Strategy Associates. "This data was very specific to key elements that would ultimately make a customer feel safe or not, such as if sanitizer machines were functional and if they observed employees cleaning public areas, which we know has a lot of consumer focus in the present time."
Secret shops were conducted across three key segments, Downtown LV properties, LV Locals Casinos and LV Strip Properties on both re-opening weekend and again two weeks post re-opening, totaling over 560 customer touchpoints.
- Top 5 Areas for Opportunity Across All Segments to Improve Customer Perception Amid COVID-19
- Allowing customers to see some element of sanitation practice on table games
- Ensuring Staff are proactively offering masks to customers who are not wearing them or do not have on their person
- Supporting staff in enforcing social distancing standards in F&B venue lines
- Allowing customers to see staff cleaning and sanitizing F&B tables and chairs
- Ensuring sanitizer dispensers are properly functional

How Hong Kong New Wave directors hijacked martial arts and crime films to make art
It is easy to misremember the Hong Kong New Wave of the late 1970s and 80s. Nearly five decades after its inception, that iconic chapter in the city’s cinema history is generally thought of as a socially inclined art-house movement that addressed everyday issues – a stark contrast to the martial arts films that dominated the local box office at the time. While partially true, viewing New Wave films merely as local iterations of 1960s and 70s rarefied European art-house cinema misses the mark....

VisitGuernsey launches new men’s mental health initiative
Over a quarter of men across the UK are hesitant to discuss their mental health with family or friends, fearing that their loved ones won’t be able to support them. One in five men also hide away from these key conversations, with a third (35 per cent) trying and failing to start a conversation for fear of not knowing how or when to approach the topic. The findings come from the latest research from VisitGuernsey* – the Channel Island that welcomes more than 150,000 visitors from the UK a year, famous for its natural spaces, slower way of living and well-being focussed lifestyle – who have identified that talking about mental health can be daunting, and for many, the fear of burdening family and friends remains a significant barrier to seeking help.
A Hong Kong flat gets a stylish, Scandinavian-inspired makeover – and a sewing room
It is almost impossible not to remark on the view from Rebecca Chan’s one-bedroom, one-study, two-bathroom flat in Hong Kong’s Mid-Levels. Directly opposite the entrance to her 1,300 sq ft (120 square metre) home are French doors that lead onto a balcony and frame a lush vista of what feels like at least 50 shades of green. Architect Liz Lau Win-wa was so captivated by the nature on Chan’s doorstep that she used it as the starting point for the design concept after being commissioned to revamp...
