Best Casino Interior Design Award
Macau is your new address for Las Vegas in Asia. Glamorous new hotels and casinos are opening one after another which is a great opportunity for us who are in the hospitality design business. Remedios Siembieda, where I have been working more than 7 years, designing quite a few projects in the new “Macau – Strip” as well as the “Vegas – Strip” Over the years, I did my share of gambling to make sure they keep building more hotels, so I have a job security. That’s the only reason I gamble, seriously!
One of those projects is the Crown Macau that has won the “Best Casino Interior Design Award” in the 1st “International Gaming Awards 2008″ recently held in London, UK. The award recognizes outstanding design in the casino sector. The winner was judged on originality, innovative style, quality of materials and customer friendly environment. I congratulate the team who worked on it…
