Circa - A New Era in Vegas

A New Era in Las Vegas

Circa Resort and Casino

Breathing life into Las Vegas’ historic downtown district and reinventing what a casino can be was the aim of owner, Derek Smith, in this uniquely designed casino and resort. A global pandemic had halted construction and created an opportunity for Bent Image Lab to pour over the arch-viz designs and imagine its visual impact as a finished work of art. Aerial flyovers, detailed previs, material samples and construction site photography provided our team with plenty of inspiration to bring the concept to life. Energetic light design and soaring camera motion were used to distinguish Las Vegas’ newest premiere destination.
