Las Vegas is unlike anywhere else in the world, and so is the work we do here. At Cuningham, we design the experiences that define this city: immersive resorts, world-class gaming destinations, and hospitality environments that captivate guests from the moment they arrive. Our Las Vegas office is home to a talented, multi-disciplinary team working across a variety of markets, so while hospitality and gaming are at the heart of this role, you'll find no shortage of opportunities to contribute to diverse and exciting projects. We're a firm that believes great design goes beyond aesthetics, it transforms how people feel, connect, and experience the world around them. Driven by collaboration, fueled by creativity, and grounded in a commitment to regenerative design, we bring bold ideas to life at every scale.
We are seeking an Architect to join our Las Vegas team and contribute to hospitality and gaming projects across all phases of design and delivery. This role is ideal for a designer who combines creative vision with technical rigor and is eager to grow within a collaborative, design-driven environment. The Architect will engage in developing design solutions, coordination, and production efforts while supporting project teams through all phases of the work. This individual will independently move portions of project scope forward with minimal supervision while collaborating closely with project leaders, consultants, and clients.
Experience in the hospitality and gaming market sector is required, with demonstrated project involvement on resort, hotel, and/or casino project types.
What you will be doing:
Engage in design development, coordination, and production across all project phases using sketching, 2D/3D modeling, and computational design methods in alignment with project goals and client vision
Apply regenerative design principles to the built, social, and natural environments
Plan, develop, and participate in design presentations that communicate compelling ideas to clients and stakeholders
Develop and document projects through both creative design and technical detailing
Collaborate with consultants, contractors, and internal disciplines to achieve the best design outcomes

Participate in code reviews and coordinate with the Specifications team
Proficiently use MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite, Bluebeam, and Revit/BIM 360, with a willingness to build skills in Rhino, Enscape, and Lumion
What we look for:

Professional degree in Architecture (B.Arch or M.Arch)
Licensed Architect or actively pursuing licensure; NCARB a plus
