As part of a $100 million transformation of the casino, the 24-hour CASBAR lounge showcases vibrant gold, orange and purple tones to create “a striking setting reminiscent of moody desert sunsets,” according to SLS Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. Above the bar hangs the main feature, a collection of coiled wire fabric systems by Cascade Architectural.
“Our team needed decorative architectural drapery that aligned with our design vision in terms of material type and color—both of which we were able to realize with Fabricoil,” says Nancy Paolino, founder and chief creative officer at Innovativo Design.
CASBAR’s above-bar feature was created using aluminum Fabricoil in two different weave sizes—3/8 and 1/2 inch—all with 15-gauge wire. The ceiling treatments are secured using Custom Curved Steel Angle with Hooks attach- ment systems offered by Cascade Architectural. Innovativo Design chose a Satin Gold powder-coated finish, suitable for Las Vegas’ ambiance and the architects’ desired desert theme.
In addition to their decorative purpose, the coiled wire fabric intercepts light cast down from the ceiling to dim and diffuse throughout the bar area, creating a comfortable environment for guests below.
CASBAR Lounge at SLS Las Vegas Hotel & Casino was completed in May 2019.
