Personally, I don’t think that will happen just because it would be too discriminatory around people who genuinely can’t have the vaccine for whatever reason.” “We’re not hearing venues saying that they’ll be looking for vaccinations only. “We’re focusing, for conventions and for resorts initially, around the test data because at this moment it’s still a huge program to complete, the vaccination rollout,” she said. The system also has the ability to show whether a user has been vaccinated, but so far Miles said the system’s users are expected to focus on recent COVID-19 test results. “We want to be part of the solution that brings Las Vegas back to the location that it once was as quickly as possible,” she said. Miles emphasized that the app prioritizes customer data protection with its VCode technology, which uses end-to-end encryption to prevent potential hacks or data breaches. The users can then scan the app’s VCode to verify their test results and gain access to certain events.

Julia Miles, Reviv’s commercial operations director, said the technology can be an instrumental piece in bringing back foot traffic to Las Vegas, especially for midweek conventions. The mobile app uses an encrypted code to show the results of a recent COVID-19 test, and can be used to increase safety for guests in hospitality settings like restaurants, conventions, nightclubs and shows.
