July 24, 2008... The Aqua Caliente Casino Resort Spa in Rancho Mirage, California USA, opened its doors exactly two years and one day after officially breaking ground. The $300 million hotel and casino resort is owned and operated by the Cahuilla Indians. LED cove lighting from Albeo Technologies was installed on 14 floors of the new resort.

According to Nancy Conrad, press secretary, the tribe tries to use green technologies and building materials whenever possible. This "green" preference led to the use of Albeo's LED lighting. "The tribal chairman, Richard M. Milanovich, is keenly interested in products that offer ambiance and aesthetics, and regularly walks through the resort to be sure we are attaining the level of beauty and elegance he is after," said Conrad. "The energy-saving benefits of LED lighting make it a natural choice," she added. "Environmental stewardship is important to the tribal council," said Conrad. "If you can deliver a product that has green attributes, is of top quality, and looks spectacular, that moves you to the top of our list."
