The evocative architecture of Wynn Resorts has long stood out in person and in photos, but a new book highlights the grand lobbies, giant lampshades and glossy finishes that define Roger Thomas’ impact on the luxury hotel-casino brand.
Thomas, the lead designer behind Wynn and Encore, among other properties, recently released his first book, “Resort Style: Spaces of Celebration.” Publisher Rizzoli calls the 256-page book a “gold-embellished tome” that explores Thomas’ emotive design themes.
The Review-Journal spoke with Thomas recently about his design philosophy and book. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
