Aristocrat has been named a finalist in the Innovation Category of the upcoming Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance’s 2018 Annual Awards.

As the LVGEA has described it, the Innovation Award honours “a business or community organisation whose breakthrough achievements in product and service development, technology and infrastructure, research and development, or public policy have significantly impacted the economy of the greater Las Vegas region.” “We are thrilled and honoured to be named a finalist in the LVGEA Awards, particularly in the Innovation Category,” said Aristocrat’s managing director of the Americas, Matt Wilson. “While our corporate headquarters are in Sydney, Las Vegas is our adopted home.

“We have 1,100 local employees who strive every day to help further community and economic development in southern Nevada while we create cutting-edge innovations for our customers, here in the greater Las Vegas area and around the globe.” The Annual Awards takes place on Thursday, September 20, in the Mariposa Ballroom at Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
