With our experience in the entertainment and gaming industries, our team members are renowned for their themed 3 dimensional fantasies.

Casino Design
Designing and developing the plans for your casino, as an integrated and carefully planned profit center, with streamlined, low overhead operations, is our specialty. You can be assured that we will design your physical facility just as you would design it yourself, if you had our background and experience, as well as access to the latest successful strategies and methods which are making world class operations the most successful internationally.
Our gaming designers are responsible for introducing the “Room Within a Room” concept to the gaming industry. This concept involves creating a highly themed separate “high limit” (or other) area within the casino main floor, with exciting 3 dimensional creations. Our installations have proven to increase drop by a minimum of 26% and maximums exceeding 45%, from the time of completion.
The reason for this outstanding success is that we are first of all gaming operations experts, who also happen to be some of the best and most experienced designers in the industry. Gorgeous interiors and wild fantasy 3 dimensional creations, do not of themselves produce bottom line increases in gaming operations. It takes a gaming expert to design a gaming operation. When we partially isolate an area, we are able to design within that area for the specific clientele who will be using it, which allows us to employ design methods and psychology which wouldn’t work elsewhere in the casino, but achieves outstanding results in the proper specific area employed.

Whether your operation is hospitality only, or combined with gaming, our team members have career experience as both operational and corporate franchise executives in some of the foremost hospitality chains in the world.

By using our own acclaimed in-house architect, we eliminate all conflicts between the architect and operations planning, theme design, efficient and adequate operations space and layout, or any other important aspect of your facility.

Fixtures, Furnishings, & Equipment
As manufacturer’s representatives for many commercial product lines, as well as distributors for thousands of others, LA Design has no reason to push a particular item of furnishing or equipment over another, save that it is the best and most economical solution to your facility’s needs. If you desire, we can easily and inexpensively do your project on a “turn-key” basis, providing all the interior fixtures, furnishings, and equipment needed to effect a timely completion. Because of our massive volume of purchase, we enjoy discounts and favorable treatment that a normal dealer cannot have access to. Because we have designed your project, and are ultimately responsible for its’ final appearance and profitable operation, we will not substitute or compromise the specifications.
