GLOBAL GAMING BUSINESS PODCAST: Andrew Kreft, Executive Senior Principal / Director of Design, Lifescapes International, Inc.

Lifescapes International is a legendary company in gaming. When the Mirage was being designed, Steve Wynn turned to Lifescapes founder Don Brinkerhoff to design and build the famous volcano that attracted millions of visitors. Through the years, Lifescapes has been the go-to company when casinos consider their landscape architecture. Andy Kreft is the director of design for Lifescapes and he explains how a well thought out and designed concept can bring the outside in and create an environment that is not only pleasing to the eye but safe and secure in this difficult time. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros from his office in California in November.
