Choctaw Casino Resort
Lexington fabricated and installed the sculptural entry pylons framing the approach to the spectacular Choctaw Casino. This entry way creates a magnificent fire and water element: the water pylons reach heights of 35 feet, and are intertwined with streams of fire. The interior lobby features an 80-foot long, 30-foot high water wall synchronized to lighting and composed music. This serves as the backdrop for the mosaic glass tiled White Buffalo - a special symbol for the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Within the west main Casino is the "Party Pit Zone" surrounded by Arbors of dimensional glowing elements and natural materials. The casino celebrated it's Grand Opening in February 2010.

Buffalo Thunder Resort
Lexington worked on the design and fabrication of all of the scenic elements for the Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino. The project offered several unique experiences, including the development of a new scenic material, a new fabrication technique and the opportunity to work with a creatively engaged client. The Governor of the Pueblo of Pojoaque, an artist by training, along with artisans of the community worked hand-in-hand with Lexington and Thalden-Boyd Architects to create a visually stunning recreational facility.
During the $2.5 million project, Lexington developed a new acrylic-based material that looks like stained, textured art glass. This material offers a lighter, cost-effective substitute to traditional art glass. Lexington also devised new fabrication techniques for this material, including a direct-print process. The work can best be seen in the 10’ x 16’, double-sided piece located in the grand lobby of the resort hotel.

Living Sky Casino
Completed in January 2009, Lexington worked closely with Thalden Boyd Architects and the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) team members to create the design of bas relief panels that depict traditional tribal customs and historic events. We then fabricated these giant panels that adorn the exterior of the casino building creating a distinctive design motif. The development of the sculpted panels from Tribal artwork and reference materials was the unique part of the collaborative process. Lexington worked on the design development and fabrication of the exterior cast bas relief mural panels, and exterior sculptural fire bowl elements.

A new and exciting Center Bar Area with multi colored rectangular ceiling light boxes, black leather tufted columns, and wood veneer back bar are the focus of a 15,000 square foot expansion.

We also technically designed and built cast bas relief interior panels in the new Atrium Lobby; the stainless steel portal for High Limit Gaming entrance, and custom metal finish display cases throughout the new expansion area.

Potawatomi Bingo Casino in Milwaukee, WI is a showcase of our unique capabilities. Working with architect the Hnedak Bobo Group, Lexington technically designed and fabricated amazing structural ornamentation that gives an overwhelming “WOW” to the casino floor.

These features, built at Lexington, showcase the circular "Bar 360". Check out our website for photos of these remarkable pieces.

Viejas Casino
For the Native American owned Viejas Casino and Retail Outlet Center, Lexington fabricated and installed this 54’ high structure consisting of a fiberglass clad steel framework arranged around a 90’ circumference. Fabric decorated with Native American designs is stretched between the angled uprights, suggesting the walls of a teepee. The structure serves as a showcourt area for a nightly live performance. During the show an actor rises from underground near the central fountain on a lift also built by Lexington. At that time, fire and laser erupts around the area and through the ends of the structure supports.
