The Dorsey

Client: The Venetian Hotel
Project: The Dorsey
Location: Las Vegas, NV

The Dorsey is a high-design cocktail spot for the worldly, curious, and engaged. Simultaneously dramatic and intimate, the space is welcoming and sophisticated using nostalgic elements reconceived with contemporary vision. A rich palette defines the different spaces where groupings of custom upholstered seating, plush rugs, and signature decorative lighting create a variety of options for guests to interact and socialize. Soaring ceilings upholstered in patterned acoustic fabric conceal a custom four-way sound system. A rich marble and leather bar, up lit from the brass foot rail, is set into a perspective-enhancing infinity mirror along one side of the main lounge.  Adjacent to the entry a ‘see and be seen’ sofa in the round is set within a dramatic, sculptural brass screen visible from the exterior. A monumental fireplace anchors the room and a dropped oak ceiling gives human scale while concealing dramatic up lighting of the upholstered ceiling above.
