Lenticular Theater Lobby for Luxor
THE MAGIC OF LENTICULAR A GOOD MATCH FOR CRISS ANGEL
When a famed Las Vegas theater needs to add enough "wow factor" to compliment superstar
illusionist/magician Criss Angel, naturally Big3D gets the call.
The Cirque du Soleil theater lobby at the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas was reworked this year by
famed architecture firm Hamilton Anderson Associates who named Big3D as the lenticular provider
of record on the project. A component of the re-design was a 75-foot wide back-lit lenticular mural.
The art featured imagery of an expanse of red velvet curtain through which, via the magic of lenticular,
iconic white rabbits and Criss Angel would periodically peek through, then retreat back behind the curtain.
Additionally, five large back-lit lenticular panels lined the hallway leading into the theater itself,
each a 3-flip effect featuring more eerie rabbit imagery.
The mural installation was complex, made up of 50 different lenticular panels of varying heights. Since
the custom light boxes were being constructed on-site, constant fine-tuning of panel sizes was required
throughout the lenticular production process. Only four days was required to produce the complex job.
Installation went smoothly and the end result is truly unique and stunning.
