Project
Sandbox VR
The Las Vegas flagship required a complex lighting solution that could be installed in a highly trafficked, indoor shopping center beneath a simulated sky environment. The lighting for the custom geometric façade had to be pre-installed at a fabrication shop and then delivered and energized on-site. Tight coordination was required between the architect, fabricator, designers, and the hotel’s construction team. Across other national locations, the challenge was scale: Sandbox VR needed fast, reliable delivery of lighting systems for its growing list of openings—each with slightly different layouts, timelines, and contractor needs.
AWL began planning for the flagship more than a year in advance, helping specify and deliver cove lighting, tape light, LED channels, DMX controls, track lighting, and grazers tailored to the storefront’s unique architectural design. To support broader rollout needs, AWL created simplified lighting packages and managed sourcing and logistics—ensuring product availability and installation readiness. Working directly with Sandbox VR’s construction leads and local contractors, AWL ensured lighting solutions arrived on time and met expectations.

Sandbox VR partnered with AWL to develop a lighting strategy for its immersive VR retail locations across the U.S., including a flagship project at the Venetian’s Miracle Mile in Las Vegas. This project combined high-design store front lighting with a scalable, repeatable lighting package for national rollout. AWL worked with Sandbox VR’s construction and design teams to deliver a custom pre-fabricated lighting solution for the Venetian location, while also providing
standardized track lighting and support services for 45+ additional sites. The result was a visually bold flagship and a streamlined rollout process that maintained lighting consistency across the country.
