SPORTS BAR
A central venue reinvented as a striking focal point in just 21 days
The Snoqualmie Center Bar was redesigned in such a way that the overall gaming floor experience was upgraded, as well as providing a signature venue that would be visible throughout the casino. This dynamic transformation not only elevated the guest experience but also reinforced Snoqualmie Casino’s reputation as a premier entertainment destination in the region.

Work Performed
Snoqualmie Casino's objective for this project was to upgrade the overall gaming floor entertainment experience by creating a signature center bar venue for guests.
The bar was designed with high-resolution video screens in the bar’s interior and large rings of high-impact color-changing lighting on the exterior, making it possible for management to customize the mood and feel of the new central space for different events and seasons. Because this new area was to be created in the middle of the gaming floor, careful planning was needed to minimize the impact on gaming operations in adjacent areas.
As the design-builder for the project, all architecture and engineering were in I-5's scope of work. This streamlined approach to the implementation of the project ensured absolute design integrity while collaborating on the best solutions to complete the project. This tight collaboration between design, architecture, and our construction teams ensures that each project is done in the most efficient way onsite.
As the architectural drawings were being finalized, large components of the project were being built offsite. By pre-fabricating and assembling the majority of the project components offsite, the construction noise was greatly reduced during the actual onsite installation, and the impact on gaming operations was kept to a bare minimum. Windows in the construction wall provided a view of the installation's “performance” to casino management and clientele as the project took shape.
The onsite construction schedule was performed behind construction walls, but that did not stop guests from watching the action. The large ring structures were brought into the building in quarters and finally assembled on the ground. These large structures were hoisted and secured in place per the engineered attachments and created a unique and entertaining focal point within the gaming floor.
With a schedule of just 21 days onsite, this transformation was a true performance, and the results for the casino have been impressive. The Mist Bar has become the central gathering place for gaming customers throughout the region and another signature space within Snoqualmie Casino.
