PARX GRILL<br />
Onyx squares are backlit with cool white LEDs. The casino also wanted the classic fireplace of a steakhouse, but with a contemporary spin: the fire is<br />
actually a computer-generated image.<br />
branches. Colorful commissioned abstract expressionist artworks<br />
are mounted against wood walls to contribute to the sophisticated<br />
ambience of the room. Generously sized upholstered<br />
chairs and banquettes are a custom KlingStubbins design.<br />
“Everyone pulled together to meet our very accelerated time<br />
schedule. The end result was the contemporary fusion approach<br />
that the owners agreed expressed their image,” says Hauber. ■<br />
