Since 2012, Marnell Architecture has been working with MGM Resorts International to redefine pedestrian engagement and The Strip experience. No longer are properties along Las Vegas Boulevard closed in, closed off and blinded to the 20 million pedestrians that walk by their doors every year. Rather, pedestrians are now welcomed and captured at various public areas, dynamic restaurants with outdoor dining and entertainment venues nestled amongst public art and cultured features inclusive of the 40-foot tall “Bliss Dance” human sculpture and the “Desert Bloom” shade structures ranging in heights up to 50 feet.
