there have been discussions about delivering local T.V. content to rooms (if you are from London you get U.K channels), sharing phone videos, pics between rooms at different properties from your room, using digital signage to customize what you see as you walk through the property. What if Vegas was a high tech Disneyland for adults?

IMHO you are spot in the fact that Vegas has ignored the middle class and focused on the wealthy in the last 15 years. But, the facts are that the small % of wealthy make up the majority of revenue.

There are 2 problems they need to over come to fix this.
1 – Every property (except Wynn/stations) is apart of a larger corp (MGM/Harrahs) and thus every property CEO is responsible for delivering THEIR profits – no teamwork
2 – Every property has now segmented their revenue. The pool, kiosk, lease space to restaurant/bar owners must make a profit.

Once the large companies drive the independent properties they own to work together Vegas will have a unique offering. – i.e. all MGM pools should work together to provide unique experiences for and one staying at an MGM property
