Route 66 Casino Round Bar & Lounge Remodeling by I-5 Design
southwestern home decor
Two projects that we completed for the Route 66 Casino in Albuquerque, NM. The round bar features a ceiling design based on the swirling pattern of a nautilus, multi layered columns clad with iridescent metal, and a beaded curtain with programmable color changing LED lighting that provides an ever changing light show. The steakhouse theme was based on an old movie from 1958 called Thunder Road. We combined southwest décor and old Route 66 imagery to create a truly unique entertainment experience. The police car above the bar is on a mechanical lift and when a band is performing the car raises up into the ceiling, revealing the stage. All of the elements were designed by I5 and the entire installation was completed with no downtime for the casino.
