Designers must be sensitive to tribal history and culture, while employing the latest and greatest of casino design to their clients.

Nejelski has a long history of success in tribal gaming design and counts among his successful projects Harrah’s Ak Chin in Arizona, San Manuel and the Chumash casino in California, Firekeepers and Soaring Eagle in Michigan, the Wildhorse Casino in Oregon, and many more.
