Steelman Partners designed the USD 4 billion Resorts World Las Vegas for Genting Group. Genting is the parent company of Malaysian investors loaning money to the tribe for the Taunton project.
“The tribe recently engaged Steelman Partners of Las Vegas, a firm that is known for its outstanding track record in the design of destination resorts. We have been impressed with their interior design concepts, and have asked for their recommendations in creating a ‘wow factor’ for Project First Light,” Mashpee Wampanoag Chairman Cedric Cromwell said.
“With the environmental review process winding down, it is important that we start the next phase of design and examine ways to create a first-class environment for those who will be visiting our facilities in Taunton.”
One of the projects Steelman has on its resume is the MGM tower at Foxwoods in Connecticut. The company also has designed casinos in Asia, including the Sands Macau. Paul Steelman, the company’s principal, is described by Global Gaming Business Magazine as being “responsible for many of the most striking designs in the casino business.”
