Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The Pearl Theater was designed and built to meet the demands of both the sophisticated local market and the demanding high-end tourist market in Las Vegas, NV. These markets will quickly dismiss any venue that does not deliver a superior performance, as will the performers that a venue like this must attract in the highly competitive environment, that is, Las Vegas. The Pearl delivers for the audience, the performers, and the owners. Studio X at the Palms is the largest and best-equipped recording facility ever built in Las Vegas. The Pearl Concert Theater is hard wired to the studio to allow artists to conveniently and cost effectively create albums of their live performances in the theater. For the owners to realize a return on their investment in these facilities, the acoustics in the 3294 sq.ft theater had to be impeccable. But the need for a sophisticated sound environment was just the beginning. The aesthetics of the 2400-seat theater were also a major priority. To address both concerns, Dean Roofing & Insulation installed 25000 sq. ft of Tectum 1 in. panels in all of the traffic ways and throughout the theater. The Tectum panels and the seats are the only sound absorbing materials used in this project.
