Masquerade at Harrah's New Orleans

CHALLENGE The design challenge was to create a one-of-a-kind, hip and ultra-modern casino entertainment venue to become the focal point of the existing casino.

SOLUTION The design team created a "Masquerade" themed entertainment piece at the center of the casino in the former passive Jazz Court area. The space was designed in a New Orleans baroque, contrasting with a sleek and ultra modern video tower. The 42-foot tall tower serves as the centerpiece and merges art and technology to create a sensory experience with audio, video and special effects including faux-fire and intelligent lighting. A 53-foot ceiling displays a night sky themed mural and fiber optic galaxy to give the space a dramatic outdoor feel. Completing the experience is an intimate private lounge, 32-foot ice bar, dance floor, stage for live shows, table games and slots.

SIZE 10,000 square feet

AMENITIES 2,400-square-foot ultra lounge; 42-foot tall high-tech video tower; 32-foot ice bar; live shows and music; table games and slots; night sky-themed ceiling mural
