Trying to impress people from those groups with hotel-supplied VR headsets would trap them into a pretty heinous rendition of the Red Queen's Race.

I'm guessing sci-fi and furry conventions would offer a better product-market fit. By definition, most the people there are there on leisure time, so they'll be generally more interested in playing. And the crowd won't be a bunch of people who are making a career of rendering all the hotel's expensive electronics obsolete.

According to an article I read they're planning to outfit the conference rooms with the infrastructure to support eSports tournaments. Otherwise it's an ordinary hotel with retro-gaming themed decorative elements designed to appeal to Gen X and Baby Boomers.
