CASINO STYLE 202501

FEATURES

FEATURES in Casino Style 2025. The long reports of the issue — property studies, interviews and the reporting that runs at full length with the photography. 5 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.

5 stories sit under FEATURES, all of them from 2025. The longest of them is Demystifying Data.

Across the sections of the magazine they break down as Hospitality (3), Development (1) and Interiors (1). The design moves that come back most often here are theming (2) and boutique scale (2), counted by reading the text of every story rather than from tags. FEATURES is one of 13 departments in Casino Style 2025; the others are CASINO DESIGN AWARDS, Columns, CUTTING EDGE, Departments and DESIGN MARKETING, among others. The issue as a whole carried 38 stories, and all of them are listed on the Casino Style 2025 page. In order, the set runs Demystifying Data, Retail Therapy, Topping the Food Chain, Dancing for Dollars and Dress to Impress. 5 bylines appear on them — Dave Bontempo, William Sokolic, James Rutherford and Rodrick J. Bradford — and each contributor has a page listing everything of theirs the archive holds.

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.
