Patrons in the bar can look into the casino, and vice-versa. Huang chose to include these elements in a very subtle way, and decided to create an 'inside-outside' atmosphere for the bar.įour oversized picture frames anchor each of the four walls. Because the casino is owned by the United Auburn Indian Community, the management of Thunder Valley wanted to incorporate Native American elements in the bar. The bar was meant to be a place where people could congregate and, as the name of the bar suggests, mingle. George Huang, senior designer from shop12, designed the bar to be the heart of the casino-modern, with a classical touch. The expanded resort includes the Mingle Bar, a dynamic casino lounge bar where people come to see and be seen. After a recent expansion, the resort now includes a spa, a 144,500 square foot casino, nine restaurants, five bars, guest suites, and event rooms. The Thunder Valley Casino Resort, located in Lincoln, California, USA, is a place for relaxation and excitement.
