Abstract
A system and method for providing navigation for visitors to casinos allows the visitors to select a game, amenity, attraction, or facility as a desired destination, and then have a route provided them to that destination. The route can be drawn on a touch screen display. As an avatar proceeds along the route, it passes landmarks that are highlighted through animation. They may grow as the avatar approaches, then shrink back as it continues beyond the landmark. This is typically repeated several times, allowing the customer to easily remember the series of landmarks, and, thus, the route to the desired destination. He can then follow the route by moving from landmark to landmark across the casino floor. A customized map with the route may also be printed.
