WHL Design Group helped the owners of Rising Star Sports Ranch create a contemporary ranch themed hotel with a unique concept. The property, which opened in October 2016, is located 80 miles north of Las Vegas is the city of Mesquite, NV. Known primarily as a golf destination, the owners of Rising Star Sports Ranch want to put Mesquite on the map for another offering, youth sports training camps and tournaments. The owners of Rising Star Sports Ranch enlisted WHL Design Group to help transform an abandoned hotel and casino into a unique property that not only catered to the golf crowd but could also be a family friendly destination that could host sports teams. The property includes the hotel, meeting rooms, a restaurant, and an arcade. Exterior areas include a pool, an area called “the backyard”, an area to relax and unwind. Also on site are fields for sports training and “The Barn”, a standalone 30,000 square foot building that can be configured for multiple sports. The property also has some high tech features including a room service robot named champ, surveillance drones that roam the property, and RFID wristbands that can open room doors, allow campers to purchase food and it can help monitor the campers to ensure they stay in their rooms after hours.  The room mix includes the typical hotel room but also included are some unique room layouts including bunk rooms that can sleep up to six people per room and coaches rooms that can double as a casual meeting space for teams.

​WHL Design Group recently had the pleasure of being a part of the renovation of the Sunrise Children’s Hospital playroom.  This project was coordinated by a young lady named Katie Lee as part of her Girl Scouts Gold Award project.  We spent over a year coordinating with Katie to get the design of this project just right to ensure that the children staying in the hospital had a safe, bright, fun space to play. With the renovation being recently completed, the ribbon cutting ceremony was held on 06/20/2017, it was a wonderful experience being able to witness some of the children getting to play in this space.
