Reinventing the Branded Guestroom in Today’s
Economy
Joyen M. Vakil, AIA | vice president of design and
development | MGM Resorts International
Hear two hotel case studies on the MGM Grand
and the Bellagio Las Vegas and the various
lessons that can be learned. How now, more than
ever, design is not just a function of the right
brain, but rather of a left and right brain effort in
creating successful projects. See how the brand
expectations are being defined through not only
customer expectations, but also through the effects
of the economy. Observe how F&B options, as well
as entertainment options that are aligned with
target demographics, can be provided without
diluting the overall brand.
