A large box slowly made its way through the top floor of an Atlantis Casino Resort Spa tower in Reno, its dull cardboard frame a stark contrast to the corridor’s fancy wood accents and glistening Italian porcelain floors.

Next to the box, two men pause to catch their breath.

“More furniture, huh?” a voice rings in the background.

Both men smiled and nodded before moving the box once more, its large frame eventually disappearing through a suite door.

Nearly a year ago, parent company Monarch Resorts embarked on a multimillion-dollar upgrade and redesign of the Atlantis’ tallest building, the 27-floor Concierge Tower. Today, the hotel-casino is putting the finishing touches on the tower’s new luxury suites as it ups the ante for its premium guest offerings.
