Las Vegas, Nevada (July 29, 2008) – VegasHD, the premier provider of digital television production in Las Vegas, today announced it has entered into a long-term strategic partnership with Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino to install and maintain a “plug and play” digital broadcast fiber facility and 4,000 sq. ft. permanent insert stage, studio and control room at the famed Las Vegas casino resort.

With regular Hollywood movie premieres, A-list entertainment and celebrity events, Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino now offers its television partners the opportunity for “plug and play” production at various locations throughout the resort, including the pool deck, casino floor, the Mezzanine Theatre and the 2,450 sq. ft. Strip-side patio at Trader Vic’s. This connectivity is currently unparalleled anywhere in Las Vegas, and is the result of the recent installation of a permanent OC12 digital fiber line. This digital fiber connection provides VegasHD with the bandwidth capacity that normally would be yielded through the use of six satellite trucks.

In addition, the in-house insert stage allows for live talk-back interviews, press junkets, and studio shoots. The VegasHD Studio is located on the mezzanine level of the resort and opens onto an additional 20,000 sq. ft. space overlooking the Planet Hollywood casino floor, allowing for larger in-studio style television productions with set pieces, studio audiences and multiple cameras.

“Planet Hollywood is committed to being the leader in A-list entertainment and events,” said Mike Mecca, President and CEO. “Our partnership with VegasHD allows us to offer the most state-of-the-art television production facilities available, reinforcing our position as one of the most production friendly resorts on the Las Vegas Strip.”

VegasHD is a full-scale, mobile, High-Definition television production facility based in Las Vegas, NV. In addition to digital fiber transmission facilities and television insert stages, VegasHD also offers a mobile production vehicle that has been specially designed for the unique production conditions found within Las Vegas. The VegasHD SONY Mobile Vehicle Production unit (MVP) packs a full service HD production studio into a compact 24’ vehicle.

VegasHD’s multiple, permanent broadcast fiber drops in key locations throughout the city, allow for television crews to shoot in the most picturesque locations in Las Vegas and beam the signal anywhere in the world through “plug and play” digital fiber without the need for satellite trucks or microwave transmission. VegasHD has the only such digital fiber facilities in Las Vegas.

“VegasHD offers the premier digital production services in Las Vegas,” said Jim Rutledge, who along with iconic television personality Robin Leach are co-founders of VegasHD. “With this agreement with Planet Hollywood, we can contribute facilities and services that will continue to position Planet Hollywood’s as the premier location for major Las Vegas television production.”
