A $6B Industry.
Zero Strip Presence.

The global drone entertainment market is valued at six billion dollars. Professional drone shows have headlined the Olympics, Super Bowl, and World Cup. Yet not a single property on the Las Vegas Strip operates a permanent drone program.

This is a category creation opportunity. The Sahara does not compete in this space. It defines it.
