Cravings The Mirage Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas. Cravings is a contemporary design that showcases a totally new way of thinking about food preparation and presentation. This restaurant marks the beginning of a new era in Las Vegas self-service dining. Tihany Design, acting as design consultant for the architecture firms David Swartz and HLW, conceived this ambitious 24,000-square-foot; 580-seat restaurant has 11 freestanding food stations, and a full-service bar. The whimsical food stations incorporate fresh and packaged product merchandizing to depict each sectionís food concept. Each food station represents a different culinary region or cooking style and is housed in different “buildings” clad with alternating corrugated polished steel, bronze and zebrawood. The space has an organic feel, with five individually defined seating areas, backlit in colors for visual appeal and easy identification.
