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.

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.
