MGM Springfield is Massachusetts’ first combined luxury resort and entertainment destination, spanning 14 acres in the heart of downtown Springfield. Designed to blend historic charm with modern sophistication, the six-story resort boasts a dynamic mix of attractions, including a 125,000-sf casino, a 252-room boutique hotel, high-end retail spaces, a luxury cinema, a large event venue, and an inviting outdoor plaza.

To complement the resort’s industrial-chic aesthetic, IMEG’s lighting design team, Illuminating Concepts, played a pivotal role in shaping an immersive experience that seamlessly integrates interior and exterior illumination. Our team provided comprehensive lighting services, including interior lighting design, exterior lighting design, lighting controls design, procurement, and on-site project management, ensuring a cohesive and visually captivating environment throughout the resort.

Careful attention was given to preserving and enhancing the historic architecture of select buildings while adding modern lighting elements to highlight key features. Thoughtfully placed fixtures and dynamic lighting controls create a seamless transition from the energetic casino floor to the more refined hotel, dining, and retail spaces. Outdoor areas received a blend of accent and ambient lighting to enhance the whimsical and inviting atmosphere, making every corner of MGM Springfield a visually engaging experience.

From grand entrances to intimate lounges, IMEG’s strategic lighting approach helped bring the resort’s vision to life, reinforcing its identity as a premier destination for luxury, entertainment, and relaxation.
