Resort Style: Spaces of Celebration
A sumptuous presentation of the extraordinary hotel casino design of AD100 interior designer Roger Thomas, who has conceived some of the most spectacular interiors in the gaming world.
Thomas has transformed Las Vegas casinos from low-ceilinged, claustrophobic mazes into luxury interiors adorned with antiques, fine fabrics, and custom fittings for Wynn Resorts. His maximalist interiors summon drama, joy, mystery, surprise, and more.
This dazzling book’s essays discuss these emotional design themes and the alluring configurations of Thomas’s resort spaces. The profiled hotel and casino interiors (the properties of Wynn Las Vegas, Encore Las Vegas, Wynn Macau, Encore Macau, Wynn Palace Cotai, and Encore Boston Harbor) include grand lobbies, gaming rooms, restaurants and bars, and hotel guestrooms and suites. Outrageous accents abound, among them giant lampshades festooned with lacquer tassels and shimmering gold drapery that frames a garden view. For Thomas, inspiration for his resorts begins at home; he shares insights from designing his own houses in Venice, Italy, the San Francisco Bay area, and Las Vegas. This gold-embellished tome is for fans of fantasy and luxury design.

If you want to understand luxury design, Roger Thomas is the person to listen to and learn from. This incredible coffee table book features the exquisite work he did in Las Vegas, Macau and Boston for the Wynn properties.
As someone who lives in Vegas and also works at a museum celebrating the city’s rich history, this book was one that needed to be on my bookshelf. As you look at how a place like Las Vegas has grown, reinvented itself and become a world class destination for luxury travel, you begin to understand the role that someone like Roger Thomas played. His designs at places like The Wynn and The Encore make you feel like you are entering an entirely different world, one where your comfort and your experience is all that matters. I loved the beautiful photography in this volume, but really appreciated Thomas’ words throughout, giving readers a first hand account of how he is inspired and his process of making his ideas come to life. Be prepared to want to book a flight to one of these magnificent properties to experience Resort Style.
