Gary Platt transforms new Sahara poker room
Gary Platt Manufacturing has helped to transform the poker room at the new SAHARA Las Vegas, with a custom design that underscores SAHARA’s theme of “for the love of Vegas.” Custom designs were created for SAHARA that were
executed in hand-crafted perfection across its Lugano, Tesla, and patented Monaco models. “The new SAHARA Las Vegas has fully embraced the
classic Vegas that people everywhere know, love, and revere. Our design challenge was to blend the Vegas of the past with the modern comfort and style of our chairs. The collaboration with the SAHARA design team
was a joy, and we are thrilled with the results,” said Joshua Corrick, Gary Platt CCO. “When we decided to bring back poker to SAHARA
Las Vegas, we knew that we would go “all-in”, from the light fixtures to the video wall. As a part of that commitment we also knew that we needed a chair that would provide our guests, and team members, with industry leading style, function and comfort. After engaging many suppliers, Gary Platt was our clear choice,” said Derek Amundson Vice President – Casino Operations for SAHARA Las Vegas.

“We are excited to be a part of this new phase of the historic Clermont Club reimagining the future of the club, while setting new standards in hospitality, taste and luxury.”
