Mix: Aladdin Casino Gambles With Audio Upgrade

After the Aladdin Resort & Casino's original structure was imploded in 1998, the Aladdin Theatre was left standing and underwent a $25 million renovation. The result is a virtual indoor amphitheater with no obstructions and one of the widest proscenium openings. Capable of handling large-scale artists, Broadway and orchestra shows, the new theater recently took delivery of a Yamaha DM1000 (in the Sinbad Lounge) and three DM2000s (one in the CenterStage Showroom and two in the Aladdin Theatre for the Performing Arts) consoles, and the largest permanently installed L-Acoustics V-DOSC P.A. system in the country - 82 cabinets.

Gary Kehm (director of operations for entertainment at the casino), Craig Thomesen (technical director/stage manager/lead sound/front-of-house mixer) and Tony Alamia (audio systems engineer/monitor engineer) assisted Al Siniscal, president and sound designer at A-1 Entertainment Services (Las Vegas) with the install. The P.A. was installed by head V-DOSC technician Bernie Broderick and assisted by Forrest Rowles.
