Identity was our first step since the building is a long ways off any major roadway we had to go BIG so we did! The 7 foot and 4 foot channel letters are both front lit and back halo lit with white and red/blue LED lights which highlights the aluminum back panel of the sign. Creating a 67 by 13 foot sign structure for the top of a hotel meant a lot of work with engineers and revision after revision after revision in order to get the scale and viewing distance right plus the 5000 lbs structural steel bracket to hold the sign in place. Our final design combining visual sign and lighting elements along with 3000 linear feet of color changing RGB feature lighting won them over. We worked with design ideas the client loved while faced with the challenge of building design and structure. You'll find the Grey Eagle Resort & Casino about 7 miles southwest of downtown Calgary.When the client told us they were looking for more of a “Vegas” look for their resort and casino we were thrilled and our creative wheels started turning in high gear!Īn empty concrete structural canvas quickly became our focus for the next couple months. Aside from the resort's amenities, travelers were also quick to praise the customer service, especially the front desk staff. You can also work up a sweat in the hotel's fitness facility or cool off in the indoor pool or outdoor hot tub. Should you want to get off the property, you can borrow the hotel's mountain bikes and helmets and explore the nearby Glenmore Park trails, use of which is covered in the resort fee (10 percent of the room rate). Guests praised the food found at the on-site restaurants and said they found little need to leave the premises with all of the variety. Aside from the buffet, Grey Eagle also offers two additional restaurants and bars.

Another highlight for lodgers: the free deluxe breakfast offered every morning.

Recent travelers recommended requesting a room on an upper floor to score the best view of the nearby Canadian Rockies. Visitors especially appreciated that the rooms, which are designed with a neutral color palette and feature sizable work desks and free Wi-Fi access, were soundproofed. Despite the fact that this hotel is connected to an 84,000-square-foot casino on the Tsuu T'ina First Nation reservation, the property maintains a quiet, relaxing atmosphere, according to recent guests.
