KAOS NIGHTCLUB
KAOS NIGHTCLUB
Scope of Work:
KAOS nightclub and dayclub was one of the largest elements of the 2019 remodel of the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. To create a dynamic focal point for the 29,000 square foot indoor space, Stephen Lieberman of SJ Lighting designed a 60 foot diameter kinetic ceiling and hired SGPS/ShowRig to build the massive installation.
The design called for a centerpiece of Tesla Balls surrounded by a radiating arrangement of LED video panels. 30 of these video panels were capable of lifting, tilting, and rotating independently to create endless sequence options. SGPS ShowRig provided technical design, fabrication, and oversaw the entire installation of the ceiling. KAOS opened on time to kick off pool season in April 2019.

DAER Nightclub
DAER Nightclub
Scope of Work:
For the grand opening of DAER Nightclub, premier lighting designer Stephen Lieberman of SJ Lighting hired SGPS ShowRig to build a kinetic ceiling that would serve as the centerpiece for the club.
The design called for five ceiling pieces covered with fabric and pixel-mapped LED that could support conventional lighting products and withstand the humid climate of South Florida. The north, south, east, and west pieces are hung on fixed speed motors that can lower and lift at 64 fpm. The center ceiling piece is hung by variable speed motors and acts as a halo, capable of tilting and lowering to display a lighted chandelier inside.
SGPS ShowRig had 55 days from the time of award to the time the club needed to open. To expedite the assembly process, our engineers designed each part to be CNC cut to easily slip together before welding. We were also able to design the system based on a commercially available chain hoist, eliminating the need to develop a branch new winch.
Fast Facts:

- Total Weight of Ceiling Pieces: 15,000 lbs
