Orleans Hotel and Casino Las Vegas

Project Overview

At the bustling Orleans Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, architecture and atmosphere converge to create a striking arrival experience. To highlight the grandeur of its main entrance, the design team selected Belfer MQ2502 Marquee Lighting – Wet Location fixtures to frame the exterior portico with precision and elegance.

Installed continuously around the canopy perimeter, the MQ2502 system defines the architectural geometry of the entrance with a consistent, luminous rhythm that enhances both visibility and visual identity. Designed for wet-location environments, these fixtures deliver long-lasting performance under exposure to heat, moisture, and intense desert conditions—perfect for Las Vegas’s demanding climate.

The project demonstrates Belfer’s ability to merge architectural form and reliability into a cohesive lighting solution for iconic, high-traffic spaces.


Product Highlights: MQ2502 Marquee Lighting (Wet Location)

  • Fixture Type: 2×2 Medium Base Marquee Lighting System
  • Environment: Wet-location rated for outdoor exposure, extreme temperatures, and humidity
  • Construction: Precision-engineered aluminum housing with sealed, corrosion-resistant finish
  • Design Flexibility: Modular system supports continuous perimeter configurations
  • Optical Quality: Balanced, even illumination ideal for large-scale façade and canopy installations

Engineered for architectural integrity, the MQ2502 offers the durability and performance required for highly visible structures such as hospitality destinations, casino entrances, and entertainment venues.


Lighting Design Impact

At The Orleans Hotel & Casino, the MQ2502 fixtures create an unmistakable sense of arrival. Their even lighting distribution highlights the architectural depth of the portico and enhances the guest approach experience from the drop-off area below.
