Looking for a center-floating hologram for your next product launch? Look no further than Fresh Wata (freshwata.com), the Las Vegas event and production team Tricia Costello founded in 1999. With her team of engineers and production artists, she now counts Nickelodeon, CES, Sprint, Samsung, CNET, Gamespot and even this year’s Univision Awards as happy clients. Costello also transformed Vegas magazine’s anniversary party, installing white-on-white furniture and a human-size chessboard to play on by the pool. Costello’s mission: “To create an emotional connection and bond between our clients’ brands and their guests.” Here’s what Costello loves about Las Vegas. –
