Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Celebrate the Year of the Horse with Three 800-Pound Tang Dynasty Horse Sculptures
*Photos available upon request*
LAS VEGAS—Jan. 16, 2014—Wynn Las Vegas and Encore today unveiled three 800-pound Tang Dynasty horse sculptures in celebration of Chinese New Year. Two sculptures are located in the Wynn atrium, and one in the garden outside the baccarat room at Encore. The 9-foot-tall, 10-foot-long horses were created by master sculptor Sillipachai “Mod” Toonrud of FORTE Specialty Contractors in Las Vegas and are painted red and gilded in gold leaf.
The artistic representation for the Year of the Horse began nearly 15 months ago and was conceived by Executive Vice President of Design for Wynn Design and Development Roger Thomas. Inspired by antique masterpieces from a private collection, each horse was hand-carved with meticulous attention to detail and encased in fiberglass-reinforced plastic molds. The sculptures will be on display through Feb. 14, 2014.
The Chinese New Year sculptures complement the existing décor elements within the Wynn atrium, which was designed to create a soft, lush atmosphere to act as a decompression zone as guests enter the resort. The atrium is home to 50 year old Ficus trees that are surrounded by ten different species of dark and light green plants. Floral sculpture balls, consisting of nearly 50,000 flowers, hang from the Ficus trees in a combination of colors and sizes. Every three weeks, more than 5,000 seasonal flowering plants are replaced in color palettes matching the season, creating an ever-changing space for guests to enjoy.
