Foursquare Lives Large at Planet Hollywood

Here’s a nice item about one of our favorite iPhone apps, Foursquare, and how it’s being featured on the giant screens at Planet Hollywood.

Foursquare is free to download, and users “check in” at various locations, and vie to be the “mayor” of that venue, share tips or “unlock” various accomplishment badges. It’s addictive, and a great way to hook up with friends when you’re out and about, especially in Sin City.

foursquare

We are currently the mayor of 12 places in Vegas, so take that.

Added bonus: When you check in at Planet Hollywood or the Miracle Mile Shops, you’ll get special offers, exclusively for Foursquare users. Get you some Foursquare.
