Dougall Design

Dougall Design is celebrating 21 years of business this year: Principal Terry Dougall founded his namesake company, Dougall Design Associates, Inc., in 1988. A casino interior design industry veteran of 36 years, he quickly grew the company’s reputation and raised its profile. In 1990, just two years after opening, he was already working on major projects-among them, the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace.

During the mid-1990s, the company experienced an explosion of growth. Dougall was commissioned to create the interiors for three Sam’s Town casinos in 1994. By 1996, he themed the Monte Carlo Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip, followed shortly thereafter with a third interior renovation and expansion of the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace and the theming and renovation of the MGM Grand.

In 1997, the company was selected to design the interiors of the next two major projects in casino interior design: The Venetian and Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino-work ranging from $800 million to $1.3 billion.

Those two projects established Dougall as a top player in the casino design arena, a status that continues to this day. In addition to completing highly successful projects like the acclaimed Borgata in Atlantic City and THEhotel at Mandalay Bay, Dougall Design was selected to provide interiors for Boyd Gaming’s $4 billion Echelon Place (though the project is currently on hiatus).
