How AV Tech Turns Hospitality Venues into Social Media Hotspots

Written by Bea Lim | Jan 8, 2025 12:34:10 AM

As the marketing specialist at Solutionz, Inc., I’ve seen firsthand the business impact a powerful, advanced AV setup can have in today’s social-media-driven world. For hotels, resorts, casinos, and other hospitality venues, the guest experience extends far beyond what happens on-site when those moments are captured and live on social media. In the era of instant sharing, every memorable moment has the potential to go viral, making AV technology an invaluable tool in creating experiences that boost your brand visibility and drive guest engagement.

The Social Media Effect of AV-Enhanced Experiences

Social media has transformed how guests connect with venues across industries. Often, AV elements become the stars of countless posts, stories, and reels. From LED walls to immersive projection shows and dynamic lighting, with the right AV setup, venues create the kind of “wow” moments guests love sharing. This organic social media exposure amplifies your venue’s reach, building brand recognition and customer loyalty – with no additional marketing cost.

Curating Memorable Spaces that Guests Will Share

Investing in AV solutions means creating moments that market themselves. Every post from a guest visiting your venue is an opportunity to amplify your brand’s reach, keeping your space top-of-mind for future visitors. With a thoughtfully designed AV system, even ordinary moments can become Instagram-worthy. Picture a massive LED wall, a striking digital display, or a custom light show—all turning your venue into a social media magnet. This setup acts as free marketing.

People are drawn to what’s fresh, rare, and out of the ordinary—experiences that stand out from the everyday. Today’s audiences can’t resist capturing and sharing experiences that feel special, new, and worth remembering. This is how video reels and other content go viral on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. People are more likely to share what’s trending, and social algorithms target others who show interest in similar experiences. For a casino aiming to attract new guests, being featured on the “Explore” and “For You” pages will significantly impact their goal.

From solo travelers and vacationing families to friends celebrating milestones and corporate groups, visitors are excited to share their experiences. The more memorable the moment, the more likely they are to post, tag, and share, effortlessly putting your venue in the spotlight, one post at a time. When you offer something visually unique, your visitors promote your venue, creating brand exposure without additional advertising costs.

The Impact of AV at the FanDuel Mohegan Sun Sportsbook

While working within the AV industry, I’ve seen how the right technology can turn a venue into an online sensation. One highlight was collaborating with our VP of Sales, Jim Miner, who specializes in casino entertainment and hospitality accounts, including our sports innovation partner, FanDuel. I had the chance to talk with Jim and Stephen McDonnell, FanDuel’s Director of Products for Retail Sportsbook, to learn more about our partnership's background and success stories, particularly the massive LED video walls we implemented at the Mohegan Sun and United Center.


Visiting the Mohegan Sun Resort left a lasting impression—the ambiance, outstanding service, and immersive AV technology blew me away. Seeing the 140-foot video wall in person was awe-inspiring, reminding me of the positive impact a well-designed AV experience can have on a space.

Simply put, by leveraging existing IP networks or building new ones, higher-quality audio and video signals can be transmitted seamlessly across various devices and locations. This guide explains AVoIP and things to consider when planning future AV installations.

AV-Driven ROI for Hospitality Venues

By increasing brand loyalty and driving long-term visibility, the impact of social media provides an additional ROI on AV technology investments. LED walls, interactive installations, and projection mapping turn ordinary spaces into extraordinary backdrops, encouraging guests to capture and share their experiences online. Here are a few examples of how hospitality venues can use AV to boost their brands:

  • Casinos & Resorts: First impressions are critical. For instance, an LED wall in a high-traffic area like the lobby can immediately grab attention. Ambient lighting, digital signage, and interactive displays create an immersive atmosphere, inviting guests to capture and share their experiences online. These social media shares amplify your venue’s reach, drawing in new guests and strengthening brand loyalty.

  • Hotels & Restaurants: AV solutions can turn any space into a shareable experience. Whether it’s projection mapping in a hotel lobby or dynamic digital signage in a restaurant, these elements capture the essence of your venue and encourage guests to share their experiences. This organic social media buzz increases your venue’s online presence and attracts potential new clientele.

  • Event Venues & Nightclubs: For venues that thrive on lively atmospheres, the latest AV technology sets the tone. High-definition visuals and synchronized sound systems create a fully immersive experience that guests eagerly share. When your venue’s energy is reflected in dynamic lighting and stunning visuals, it naturally encourages social media engagement, helping spread the word and attract new visitors.
