About | Vunessak Casino Hotel

The Factory Legacy

Before becoming the Vunessak Casino Hotel, this striking building served as a major manufacturing facility for over 80 years. Constructed in 1926, the factory produced industrial machinery that helped build America's infrastructure throughout most of the 20th century.

When manufacturing operations ceased in 2008, the building stood abandoned for nearly a decade. Rather than demolishing this industrial landmark, our vision was to preserve its historic character while transforming it into a world-class casino and hotel resort.

The conversion from factory to casino hotel presented numerous engineering and design challenges, but our commitment to architectural preservation guided every decision. Today, Vunessak Casino Hotel stands as a testament to thoughtful adaptive reuse.

Overcoming Architectural Challenges

Converting an industrial factory into a casino hotel presented numerous complex challenges that required innovative solutions and specialized expertise.

Structural Reinforcement

While preserving the visible industrial elements, extensive reinforcement was required to meet modern building codes and support new functions.

Climate Control

Integrating modern HVAC systems while maintaining exposed industrial features required innovative engineering approaches throughout the casino and hotel resort.

Acoustic Management

Creating comfortable sound environments within hard-surfaced industrial spaces demanded specialized acoustic solutions.

Historical Compliance
