CASINO DESIGN 202201

BUILDING EXCITEMENT

BUILDING EXCITEMENT in Casino Design 2022. The annual roll call of finished work: the year's notable casino, hotel and entertainment projects, each credited to the architects, interior designers and builders who delivered it. 11 stories. Sections are the magazine's own: each annual was assembled out of departments that recurred from year to year, and the pages are kept at the addresses the issue gave them.

11 stories sit under BUILDING EXCITEMENT, all of them from 2022. The longest of them is Local Legend.

Across the sections of the magazine they break down as Development (7), Architecture (2), Gaming Floor (1) and Interiors (1). The design moves that come back most often here are led lighting (3) and food halls and chefs (2), counted by reading the text of every story rather than from tags. The practices named more than once are SOSH Architects (2), each with its own page in the firm directory. BUILDING EXCITEMENT is one of 16 departments in Casino Design 2022; the others are Building Excitement 2011, CASINO DESIGN AWARDS, Columns, COMPANY PROFILES and Departments, among others. The issue as a whole carried 33 stories, and all of them are listed on the Casino Design 2022 page.

Everything filed here is the magazine's own reporting, kept at its original address and re-laid into the current design rather than re-edited. Where a story named a practice, a budget or a room count, the figure is the one that issue printed, and it has been left as it was printed: a 2009 budget is a 2009 budget, and the value of the archive is precisely that it says what was thought at the time instead of what turned out to be true later.
