Visitor apps that guide Las Vegas guests from the Strip to the desert and back.

Codeeo handles tourism app development in Las Vegas for tour operators, attractions, resort guest teams and destination partners. We build visitor guide apps with day plans, indoor and outdoor maps, audio tours, offline desert routes, multilingual content and partner offers, so a guest who lands for three nights spends less time lost in a casino corridor and more time at the places you run.

This page is about what happens after a guest arrives: finding the shuttle, reaching the canyon trailhead, hearing the story behind a neon sign. Flight and hotel reservations belong to a different kind of app, and we keep them out of this one unless you ask.

Inside the app

Features shaped by how people actually move around Las Vegas.

A Las Vegas visitor rarely walks in a straight line. They cross resort floors that span several city blocks, ride the Deuce up Las Vegas Boulevard, hop off at the Fremont Street Experience after dark and then join a morning van to Red Rock Canyon or Hoover Dam with very little sleep. A visitor app for this city has to cope with indoor spaces where GPS barely works, desert roads where the phone loses signal, and heat that turns a pleasant walk into a risk by early afternoon in summer.

The features below are the ones we most often plan for operators here. Few apps need all of them in the first release; discovery decides which ones earn a place first and which wait for a later version. We also look at what your guests already use, such as a resort app or a reservation confirmation email, so the visitor guide adds something rather than repeating it.

Explain your project
  • Indoor wayfinding for resort complexes

    Floor plans for casino levels, convention halls, pool decks and shopping arcades, with turn by turn routes to a show entrance, a tour pickup desk or a rideshare zone. Where satellite positioning drops indoors, we can add Bluetooth beacons or clear landmark steps such as passing the sportsbook and turning at the food hall.

    Guests reach the right door on time instead of circling the floor.

  • Desert routes that work offline

    Downloadable maps, stop lists and commentary for day trips to Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, Lake Mead or the Hoover Dam area, saved to the phone before departure. The guide keeps working on stretches of highway with no coverage, and it syncs check-ins once the van is back in range.

    The tour content plays where the signal does not.

  • Self-guided and narrated audio

    Location triggered stories for neon signs downtown, Strip architecture, desert geology or local history, recorded by your guides or narrated professionally. Tracks can play one after another during a walk or be picked from a list on a bus, with transcripts for guests who prefer reading.

    One recorded guide can serve every departure and every language.

  • Heat and safety notices

    Push alerts tied to the day's itinerary: carry water, start the hike earlier, the trail is closed, the pickup point has moved. Content editors write the messages in the admin system, and the app sends them only to guests booked on the affected route.

    Guests get the warning that matters to them, at the right hour.

  • Day plans for short stays

    A personal itinerary that mixes your tours with nearby things to see, sorted by time and walking distance, and adjusted when a guest adds a show or a convention session. It suits visitors who arrive Thursday and leave Sunday with no time to research.

    Fewer gaps in the guest's day and more stops at your partners.

  • Getting around: Deuce, Monorail and rideshare

    Clear directions from a resort to the nearest Deuce stop, Las Vegas Monorail station or designated rideshare pickup area, with walking times that reflect how long resort corridors really are. Where public data feeds exist we can show them; elsewhere we use guidance your team keeps current.

    Fewer missed pickups and fewer calls asking where to stand.

  • Partner offers with age checks

    Restaurants, bars, shows and attractions can publish offers inside the guide. Anything involving alcohol or nightlife sits behind a date of birth confirmation, because the legal drinking age is 21, and each partner sees how many guests opened or redeemed an offer.

    Partner revenue you can measure without spamming guests.

  • Multilingual content

    Las Vegas draws visitors from across the Americas, Asia and Europe. We structure every stop, alert and offer so it can be translated, with Spanish usually first, and let guests switch language without reinstalling or losing their saved plans.

    International guests use the same app as everyone else.

  • Guide and driver companion

    A staff version of the app shows each departure's passenger list, pickup points in order, guest notes such as mobility needs or a language preference, and a one tap message to everyone on board when the van is running late. Guides can mark arrivals and no-shows from the curb, and the office sees the same list in real time.

    Drivers and the office work from one list instead of phone calls.

  • Operator dashboard

    One place to edit stops, upload audio, schedule alerts, manage partners and read usage: which routes are downloaded, where guests stop listening, which offers get redeemed. Permissions keep guides, marketing staff and partners to their own sections.

    Your team updates the guide the same day something changes.

Who we build for

Four kinds of Las Vegas operators we plan apps with.

The visitor economy here is unusually concentrated: a few miles of boulevard, a compact downtown and a ring of desert sights within a couple of hours' drive. Most of the operators who ask us about apps fall into one of four groups, and each needs a different first release. Discovery and design reviews run by video call; our team works remotely with clients in Las Vegas and has no office in Nevada.

01

Desert and canyon day tour companies

Van, jeep and helicopter operators sell trips to Red Rock, Valley of Fire, Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. Their guests need pickup instructions at a specific resort entrance, a packing list for the heat, and commentary that works without signal. The app also gives drivers a way to confirm who boarded, so the office stops chasing no-shows by phone from the curb.

Offline content and pickup accuracy come first.

02

Attractions and museums

Venues such as observation decks, immersive shows and history museums want visitors to stay longer, understand more and come back with friends. A guide app with audio stops, accessible routes and a short feedback prompt after the visit does more for them than a ticket wallet. Tickets can stay with the existing system; the app links to it rather than replacing it. We design for screen readers, captions on every audio stop and step-free routes through the venue, because the ADA applies to public attractions and their digital services are increasingly judged against WCAG.

Keep ticketing where it already works.

03

Resort guest services and concierge teams

A property with thousands of rooms answers the same questions all day: where is the pool, how do I reach the arena, when does the shuttle leave. A guest guide app with indoor maps and a curated list of nearby experiences moves those answers onto the phone. Gaming features are a separate, licensed matter and we keep them out of a visitor guide.

Wagering stays outside the guide.

04

Destination partners and districts

Downtown districts, arts groups and visitor bodies promote areas beyond the Strip, such as the Arts District or Fremont East. Their app is mostly content: walking trails, event listings, maps and local business offers. The work is in a content system that many contributors can update without breaking the app, and in analytics that show which streets guests actually walk.

Many editors, one consistent guide.

How a Las Vegas visitor app goes from idea to the app stores.

  1. 01Guest walk-throughWe trace a typical visit with you by video call: arrival, first evening, a day trip, the last morning. Every point where a guest gets lost or calls your office becomes a candidate feature.
  2. 02Content inventoryStops, scripts, photos, audio, partner details and safety notes are listed and assigned an owner. Missing content is the most common cause of delay, so we flag it early.
  3. 03Design for heat and glareLarge type, high contrast for bright desert sun, one-handed controls and short screens that make sense while walking a crowded casino floor or standing at a viewpoint.
  4. 04Maps, audio and offline buildIndoor plans, outdoor routes and audio packages are built and tested for download size, so a guest can save a whole day trip on hotel wifi the night before.
  5. 05Field testingYour staff test routes on real devices at real pickup points, indoors and out, and on roads where coverage fails. We fix what they find before store submission.
  6. 06Season by season updatesAfter launch, usage data and guest feedback guide the next release: new routes, extra languages, more partners, and changes for summer heat or winter events.

What Las Vegas operators ask before commissioning a visitor app.

Cost depends on maps, content volume, languages and integrations rather than on screens.

The largest drivers are indoor mapping of big resort spaces, the amount of audio and translation, offline packages for desert routes, and connections to existing ticketing or reservation systems. A single day trip guide in English is a much smaller build than a multi-property app with beacons and six languages. We price the first release against a written scope after discovery, so you can decide what to include and what to leave for later.
