Set within the storied El Cortez Hotel & Casino, this Starbucks transformed a former QSR into a richly layered experience that echoes the charm and history of the surrounding space. The design retained and celebrated the existing copper-toned pressed tin ceiling, using it as a key element to bridge the old with the new. Inspired by the casino's moody elegance, the palette features dark wood tones, brass accents, and rich textures that seamlessly blend with the surrounding gaming floor. The walnut front counter, paired with custom metalwork and a bold Siren mural, adds a contemporary flair while respecting the timeless character of the venue. This location embraces its vintage Vegas setting while creating a warm, inviting stop for both hotel guests and locals.
