Lighting Helps Gulf Coast Casinos Rebound      
BILOXI, MS — John Levy Lighting Productions, Inc. announced the completion of three Gulf Coast projects, helping that region’s continuing efforts to rebound from Hurricane Katrina, which struck nearly three years ago. “In the aftermath of the storm, people in the casino industry quickly realized that the best way to rebuild was to provide jobs and income, and casinos do that,” said John Levy, founder and CEO of John Levy Lighting Productions. “Our role as lighting designers was to boost that effort.”

The three casino projects include the new IP Casino Resort Spa in Biloxi (formerly the Imperial Palace, which was closed for three months after Katrina), the Island View Casino in Gulfport and the Isle of Capri Casino Resort in Biloxi.
 
For the IP Casino Resort Spa, housed in the second-tallest building in Mississippi, John Levy Lighting Productions created distinct designs for three restaurants. The company provided architectural lighting, stage lighting and a low-res LED special effects wall for Chill, faux flicker candles and a twinkling star ceiling with fiber optic lighting for Carnaval De Brazil and consultation for a mood wall behind the 40-foot sushi bar in Tien.
