"The New York-New York Hotel and Casino is a landmark in Las Vegas and we are proud to be part of its lighting renovation," said Joe Kaveski, CEO of Energy Focus, Inc. "While we often stress the great energy efficiency of our products, they also create beautiful lighting effects, especially for architectural applications. Guests can expect to see some spectacular lighting, while the hotel can expect to see less than a third of the energy costs. In addition the hotel can expect significantly reduced maintenance costs due to the extremely long life of our LED systems."

New York-New York Hotel and Casino is built after its name patron, the city of New York, NY. Its architecture creates an impression of the New York City skyline and its interior design brings its guest into the heart of the city that never sleeps. The hotel includes several towers configured to resemble New York City skyscrapers, including the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. Outlining the buildings are side-emitting fibers driven with Energy Focus' energy efficient LED e-Luminators(TM) to illuminate the facades at night.

Energy Focus' unique and energy efficient lighting systems are a key part of the hotel's lighting revitalization. Fiberstars, Energy Focus' architectural lighting division, worked closely with the hotel and ultimately installed the LED e-Luminators to create beautiful and dramatic effects. All together, Energy Focus installed more than 450 color programmable high brightness LED lighting systems to create the unique outline.
