CHALLENGE. Two environments come to mind when we think of Las Vegas. One is the glitz and glamour of The Strip. The other is a spectacular surrounding landscape highlighted by the Spring Mountains to the west. The design for T-Mobile Arena, an AEG and MGM Resorts International joint venture, needed to speak to both in a way that felt authentic to locals and tourists alike.
INNOVATION. To capture the excitement of Las Vegas Boulevard sitting just a block away, the arena opens with an expansive glass façade and sweeping 9,000-square-foot LED screen. An outdoor performance stage and sweeping balconies also radiate energy outward into The Park, a winding landscaped space that weaves the arena together with its neighbors.
Meanwhile, the south and west facades of the arena reflect desert and mountain influences and feature a solid skin that protects against the intense desert sun. This “of the desert” skin wraps the arena with rolling bands of metal that evoke the color and sedimentary layering of the desert mountains.
