In search of relief from achy joints? Wish you could architect the perfect vacation experience? Interested in combining your love of video games and winning big money by exploring the emerging esports industry? Student entrepreneurs from UNLV have got a business plan for that.

Of the more than three dozen teams competing in the 2017 Donald W. Reynolds Governor’s Cup Collegiate Business Plan Competition, which is designed to foster economic development and creative learning by encouraging multidisciplinary student teams from Nevada universities and colleges to use their ideas and talents to create tomorrow's businesses, eight finalists emerged from UNLV’s Lee Business School.

Ultimately, one UNLV undergraduate team and two graduate-level teams took home three of the contest’s seven awards, walking away with more than $55,000 in cash and prizes to be used to bring their ideas to market. Teams RAD and Window Magic placed first and second at the graduate division, respectively, and GameTrainer placed second at the undergraduate level.

Window Magic is a custom experience developer with a focus on the hospitality industry that enhances or completely alters the view out of any resort suite window using current OLED technology.
