Route 66 Casino Hotel

We have been working with the Route 66 Casino on numerous projects since 2004. Our first project was renovating the original buffet which was replaced with he 500-seat, internationally themed Buffet 66 with seven action stations.

Several years later the casino expanded in multiple directions and we designed the display cooking and bar for the Thunder Road Steakhouse and Cantina. A 1950’s Chevy Police cruiser sits atop the bar and rises into the ceiling to reveal the band on the stage below.

Other additions included the 360 Lounge in the center of the expanded slot area; the Irish Themed Poker Pub; new snack bars for the Bingo Hall and Casino; and remodeled employee dining room to accommodate new staff.

Our most recent work is the popular Envy Lounge featuring the latest in sound and light systems as well as several bars to provide individual cocktails as well as bottle service for VIP guests.
