BASWA Installer KHS&S hand-crafted a custom texture and color into the curved BASWA Phon ceilings. The texture varies from section to section on purpose, forming rippled, sand-like patterns, like small dunes left by waves.

Fontainebleau Development made sustainability a design goal alongside the guest experience, so the lobby ceiling materials were chosen with care. The sound-absorbing BASWA Phon system keeps noise down in the lobby, so guests' first impression of the resort stays calm, with a textured marble finish overhead. BASWA Phon panels are made with at least 80 percent recycled glass, and the finish coat is 95 percent recycled marble aggregate left over from marble extraction. Across the full system, recycled content is 81 to 83 percent by weight.

Along with fine-tuning acoustics and positively impacting guest wellbeing, BASWA systems offer unlimited design options through texture and color. Global installations include multi-colored limestone,concrete, stucco, and split stone replications. Gradient colors can be acheived in a single seamless surface, on ceilings and walls. The cost for a custom acoustical plaster finish can be calculated in collaboration with the BASWA acoustic team and experienced BASWA Installer network. Custom mock ups and samples are also available to match your need.

After construction halted in mid-2009 and the project sat through a long pause, Fontainebleau Las Vegas Resort and Casino opened in December 2023.
