44 CONSTRUCTION LAS VEGAS COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS Klai Juba Wald Architects has become one of the top casino and hospitality designers in and out of Las Vegas, handling more than 75 projects a year. One of their most recent high-profile projects has been the Linq, which the firm has been planning out since 2009. Klai Juba Wald worked with Caesars Entertainment, W.A. Richardson Builders and Sellen Sustainability to not only figure out how to sandwich the facility between existing proper- ties but to ensure LEED Status. Did you know that the Linq got its inspiration from Las Vegas? Part of a collaboration with David M. Schwartz and key personnel from Caesars En- tertainment, the architecture draws upon different eras in the city's develop- ment, from its railroad beginning in the 1900s and the boom in the '30s and '40s to today's contemporary look. While visiting the Linq, look for a little bit of industrial, modern and warehouse forms. Of course, no mention of the Linq is complete without calling attention to the High Roller. With its 28 spherical cabins that accommodate up to 40 guests, it stands nearly 550 feet above the Strip, making it the tallest obser- vation wheel in the world. What We're Working on
