Design that Delivers Results

KdG, a Division of Shive-Hattery

Imagine standing on your gaming floor and sensing untapped potential in every direction.

Every square foot in your casino holds opportunity, and for more than 50 years KdG—now a division of Shive-Hattery—has helped operators unlock it.

Since entering the casino design arena, KdG has partnered with leaders such as Caesars Entertainment, Golden Nugget, Churchill Downs and Cordish Gaming’s Live! Casinos, proving that great design is more than visual—it’s operational, emotional and, most importantly, profitable.

KdG’s process always begins the same way: by listening. KdG learns how guests arrive, where they dwell and what keeps them playing. It then translates that insight into layouts that improve player flow, convert underused corners into high-energy spaces, and reimagine amenities that drive longer visits, higher spend and repeat loyalty. The destination ends up working as hard as it dazzles.

Because casinos never truly close, KdG is an expert at live renovations, tight phasing schedules and regulatory complexity. From casinos, restaurants and other public spaces to back-of-house logistics, every element is integrated seamlessly—front to back—so revenue keeps rolling while transformation unfolds.

Your strategy is your edge, which is why confidentiality is part of the deal. KdG safeguards your plans, your data and your timing, keeping you ahead of the competition and firmly in control of your narrative.

Armed with advanced tools like 3D point cloud scanning and real-time design feedback, KdG guides projects from first sketch to final reveal with precision and clarity. And because its team is grounded in hospitality, KdG doesn’t just design spaces—it creates experiences.
