Because We Shouldn't Have To Open Hotel Room Curtains By Hand

The "remote control" found in the rooms at Encore and Wynn in Las Vegas.

If you listen to the people who make remote controls and motors for curtains, apparently it's becoming essential to have motorized drapes in your hotel room. This is a fact we hadn't realized yet, but we admit, we're kind of lazy, and perhaps there should be more of them.

They've done work for the Mandarin Oriental Miami, for example, motorizing the drapes which then part, at the push of a button, to show you views of Miami Beach or of the skyline.
