Number TEN served as Prime Consultant for the redevelopment of Club Regent Casino – one of Winnipeg’s most popular entertainment attractions. Built in 1992 with a major expansion in 1999, the original Club Regent Casino was designed by Number TEN as a themed gaming environment typical of Las Vegas Casinos such as the Mirage and the Venetian. The re-envisioned design holds true to this intent, with a more refined and contemporary expression in keeping with current trends in casino design.

In addition to hundreds of VLTs and tables, the casino has McDonalds, Toukees Lounge, Jags in the lower level and an event centre at the main entrance which has concerts and other events. Connected to the casino is a hotel, and there is ample amounts of parking.

The centrepiece of the casino redevelopment is the new state-of-the-art Club Regent Event Centre. This new entertainment and conference facility is easily transformed into a variety of seating and floor configurations through the use of innovative spiral lift technology. With the push of a button, the facility is transformed to an appropriate seating and floor arrangement customized for almost any type of entertainment or conference event.

Club Regent Casino’s gaming floor and food and beverage amenities are being redefined to attract a wider, more varied demographic. The 100,000 sq. ft. renovation of the casino interior also includes a new bank and gift shop, as well as Toukie’s Lounge: a lively, high-end hospitality venue that includes an exotic lounge and bar area along with a V.I.P. alcove. The finishes are a warm, wood veneer and typify a lush, tropical resort-like experience.

The building’s exterior is also being re-designed with a modern, contemporary expression that will elevate its physical presence on Regent Avenue.

On May 19th and 20th this year, the Regent Casino Showroom and Event Center opened its doors to two sold out performances of the Grammy Award winners Huey Lewis and The News. This beautiful Multipurpose Gala Venue system designed by Number Ten Architects in close collaboration with the Team at the Manitoba Lotteries Corporation (MLC) and Gala Systems engineers, will be the new entertainment and corporate events center for the Regent Casino. The innovative design has created an auditorium that, according to the MLC, is “an architecturally inspired concert venue, an expansive trade show floor and an elegant setting for a gala dinner which will allow clients to transform the venue in order to transform the event.”
This venue allows event planners to reconfigure the floor plan, seating arrangements and lighting scheme to meet the needs of the specific event that is being held. Some of the configurations are:
• Banquets for Flat-floor seating up to 600 patrons
• Seminars for Theatre-style seating up to 1,400 or variably reduced seating at twice the spacing
• Cabaret with multi-level platforms seating up to 700 patrons
• Boxing matches with audience configurations “in the round”
• Rock shows with mosh pits for standing patrons close to the stage
• Gaming Tournaments with tiered arrangements

Number Ten Architects affirms that “The distinguishing element across the Event Center is the advanced technology used in the performance seating and adaptability of the venue. The utilization of Spiralift technology, designed by Gala Systems Inc. of Montreal, enables a performance facility to transform what is typically fixed theatre seating into an unlimited number of configurations. This will give Club Regent new opportunities to expand and tailor its performance venue – this is very good news for Winnipeg audiences.”

Club Regent Casino Event Centre Seating

This stage lift system allows for the movement and automatic reconfiguration of stages, orchestras and the seat riser system will enable the positioning of seating rows and the full motorized and automated storage of seats as required for the event. The Concert Bowl will have the adaptability to go from a 1,400 theatre seat arrangement to a “flat-floor” or other configurations within 10-15 minutes.
Gala has appreciated the close collaboration with Manitoba Lotteries Team over the last 8 years and the good design partnership developed with the Number Ten Architects in developing this venue. We are honored to be involved with such a tremendous project and are confident in the success that this flexible venue will foster.
