The challenge to Cuningham Group’s designers was to remodel a former black box theater into a 350-seat performance venue that would double as a nightly dance club. Palace Casino Resort wanted the design of this multi-functional space to combine the nuances of the existing casino’s Persian flare with the hip and edgy feel of a Las Vegas club. The popular result is Z the Club, an entertainment venue with a sophisticated edge.
The guest experience begins in the high impact staging corridor. Punched openings in the walls allow viewing of the space through decorative screens, building anticipation. Uplighting at architectural features and theatrical lighting throughout creates a dramatic backdrop for the show. The revamped multi-level venue features four full-service bars, several stages and a dance floor.
