A Vision of Exclusivity and Elegance

In the heart of the renowned Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, just steps away from the world's most exclusive baccarat tables, lies The Vault - a hidden speakeasy cocktail lounge designed by Studio Munge for MGM Hospitality.

Designed as a sanctuary for high rollers, VIP guests, and jet-setters, The Vault exudes an atmosphere of secrecy, sophistication, and indulgence. Its meticulously curated interiors, inspired by heritage luxury reimagined, embrace a palette of rich textures, refined materials, and architectural grandeur. At the heart of this captivating environment is a custom Welles Reimagined chandelier, designed by Alessandro Munge and crafted in collaboration with Gabriel Scott, demonstrating the unparalleled potential of bespoke lighting in luxury hospitality.

Bespoke Lighting for a Distinctive Atmosphere

Lighting plays a defining role in The Vault, creating an ambiance that is both sultry and luminous. Designed exclusively for this project, the Welles Reimagined chandelier spans an impressive 8 feet and 6 inches in diameter and features 80 exquisitely faceted glass globes. This showstopping fixture serves as the focal point of the venue, casting a mesmerizing glow that reflects off the faceted bronze mirrors and Portoro gold marble surfaces. Its sculptural presence adds depth and movement to the space, mirroring the fluidity and rhythm of The Vault’s architectural design.

Craftsmanship and Customization

Gabriel Scott’s expertise in customization was instrumental in bringing Alessandro Munge’s vision to life. The Welles Reimagined chandelier was carefully developed to align seamlessly with the design narrative of The Vault, embracing the elegance of Italian tailoring and fine craftsmanship. The custom composition of the fixture, with its precise material selection and dramatic scale, showcases the brand’s commitment to innovative, made-to-order luxury lighting solutions.

The Design Narrative

Beyond its breathtaking lighting, The Vault’s design narrative is one of tactile indulgence and modern opulence. The lounge’s entry vestibule welcomes guests with mohair-upholstered walls, bronze metallic wainscoting, and an asymmetrical lacquered host desk, setting the tone for an immersive experience. A portal of bronze metallic walls introduces the signature Portoro Gold marble, while the architectural ceiling transitions smoothly from black to bronze, illuminated by soft cove lighting and additional Welles sconces. Every element, from the plush black mohair banquettes to the recessed leather-stitched detailing, speaks to an uncompromising commitment to luxury and exclusivity.
