Looking for contact information (i.e. name, telephone, and/or email
address) for the people responsible (in charge) for the interior
design of the large casinos in Las Vegas.  Specifically, I have
artwork which I know the large casinos will want to present in their
lobby and hotel rooms.  I just need the contact information to present
this artwork to them.  $10USD for each large casino which I use
(contact information).  $100USD for each large casino account which I
can get (later).

Request for Answer Clarification by phdstudent-ga on 29 Apr 2005 12:35 PDT
bobbie7,

very good information, but .......
i was really looking for the representatives/employees of the big Las
Vegas casinos (i.e. Bellagio, MGM, etc.) who makes the decisions on
the selection of the 'Interior Designers.'  Again, I am trying to sell
to the big casinos, not to the sub-contracted 'Interior Designers.' 
Maybe you are correct though, maybe the casino employees will direct
me to their hired interior designers, but I wanted to hear them say
this.  Your answer is good enough to justify payment, but not exactly
what I was looking for.  Thank you so much Bobbie7 (great answer).

I located some additional information that might be helpful.


MGM Mirage

The following project is managed by Bobby Baldwin, president and CEO
of Mirage Resorts. Over the next 18 months, MGM Mirage will seek out a
team of architects, designers, and developers to implement the plan.

?MGM Mirage recently announced plans to create a multibillion-dollar
mini-city on the site of the Strip's Boardwalk casino. And even though
it's in the heart of Sin City, "Project City Center" will have an
emphasis on living and lifestyle spaces, not gaming.

Designed by New York City architecture firm Ehrenkrantz Eckstut & Kuhn
(EE&K) and managed by Bobby Baldwin, president and CEO of Mirage
Resorts, the $6 billion project (one of the largest in the country)
will consist of 66 acres of cafes, retail shops, boutique hotels,
entertainment venues, and residential buildings lining streets, public
squares, and covered passageways. The nucleus of the complex will be
the Casino Square, topped by a 3,000-room hotel tower. Over the next
18 months, MGM Mirage will seek out a team of architects, designers,
and developers to implement the plan. "Cities ordinarily grow
intrinsically over time, but with the vision of MGM Mirage, an entire
city neighborhood is being developed at once as an integrated work of
architecture," says Stanton Eckstut, principal-in-charge at EE&K.?

Wynn Las Vegas 

Steve Wynn personally selected the designers.

?Forget the Las Vegas you once knew?a desert town where miles of
blinking neons and mirrored ceilings eclipse good taste. Steve Wynn
debunked that myth when, as CEO of Mirage, he conceived the
design-driven Bellagio restaurants now owned by MGM Mirage. Interiors
he commissioned from Tony Chi, Jeffrey Beers, and Adam Tihany have
helped those venues become almost as big a crowd-pleaser as the
Strip's casinos. Now visitor traffic to Sin City is through the roof
(35.5 million, annually), and a spate of new restaurants, hotels, and
high-end residences are scrambling to reproduce Wynn's success in
using high design to charm the masses. Our own research turned up work
by KWID, Vicente Wolf Associates, and Super Potato in addition to
firms Wynn has ushered in. Then came news that the überdeveloper is
returning to Las Vegas Boulevard next month with the $2.7 billion Wynn
Las Vegas?a venture with more than 2,000 rooms, 18 restaurants, and
contributions by roughly a dozen interior designers who were
personally selected by Wynn. On that occasion, we couldn't resist
taking stock of other firms tied to the city's makeover.?
