Roger Thomas

In a recent visit to Las Vegas, we admired the way the latest resorts on the Strip are upping the ante on grand and luxurious design. Roger Thomas created the interiors of Wynn Las Vegas and most recently led the interior design of Wynn Macau, which opened to the public September 5, 2006. Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, opened on December 22, 2008, along with Wynn Diamond Macau, which will open January 2010, also bear his stamp. Thomas designed the interiors of properties including the Golden Nugget hotels in Las Vegas and Laughlin and the Mirage Resort, Treasure Island and Bellagio Resort on the Las Vegas strip. In 2007, Thomas was listed in Architectural Digest's AD 100.

Christian Liaigre is a master designer whose creativity, he claims, is best inspired by nature as opposed to other professionals, either contemporary or past. Although based in France, Mr. Liaigre's projects are truly international, including the Market restaurant in Paris and the Mercer Hotel and Rupert Murdoch residence in New York. An inductee into the Interior Design Hall of Fame, his reputation as an interior designer is also interchangeable with his high regard as a furniture designer and craftsman.
