Suffolk Strengthens Las Vegas Presence with Major Project Wins and New Leadership
Suffolk, recognized as one of the nation’s most innovative and successful builders, is accelerating its footprint in Las Vegas. The company has been selected to lead the renovation and expansion of the iconic Flamingo Las Vegas for Caesars Entertainment—a highlight among several recent project wins that reinforce the momentum of Suffolk’s operations in the region. Complementing these projects is an expanded leadership team and a new office east of The Strip, strategically positioned to support complex, high-profile developments across Las Vegas.
Leading the Flamingo Renovation
Suffolk’s latest engagement with Caesars Entertainment marks a significant milestone for the firm’s Las Vegas operations. The project entails a comprehensive renovation and expansion of the Flamingo Las Vegas, including upgrades to the lobby and casino areas, a new lobby bar, and improvements to both the main and VIP registration spaces.
This selection reflects the trust Suffolk has earned from major clients in the region, highlighting the company’s capability to manage projects with intricate schedules and demanding operational requirements. The Flamingo renovation is part of a growing portfolio that demonstrates Suffolk’s ability to deliver high-quality outcomes in hospitality, gaming, and community-focused developments.
Advanced Technology and Precision Execution
Suffolk’s reputation for delivering complex, schedule-driven projects stems from its use of advanced technology, Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), and Building Information Modeling (BIM). These tools enable the team to coordinate across all phases of construction, reduce conflicts, and ensure projects are delivered on time and on budget.
From gaming resorts to luxury residential developments, Suffolk’s approach emphasizes precision and planning. The company is particularly skilled at executing projects where deadlines are non-negotiable, leveraging technology to anticipate challenges and optimize workflows.
Diverse Project Portfolio in Las Vegas
Since establishing its Las Vegas presence in 2023, Suffolk has rapidly earned a strong reputation for delivering projects of varying scale and complexity. Among its current portfolio:
- Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas: The team recently completed a major 12-hour concrete pour totaling over 4,500 cubic yards. Utilizing VDC and BIM technology, Suffolk enhanced coordination and planning, ensuring smooth execution. A celebratory event recognized the efforts of trade partners, reflecting the collaborative culture Suffolk fosters on-site.
- Campus for Hope: A 20-plus-acre facility providing comprehensive services to address homelessness, demonstrating Suffolk’s commitment to community-oriented projects.
- Flamingo Las Vegas Renovation: A high-profile project that includes extensive lobby and casino upgrades, a new lobby bar, and VIP registration enhancements.
This mix of luxury hospitality, gaming, and community-focused developments illustrates Suffolk’s versatility and its ability to adapt to diverse client needs.
New Office to Support Growth
To support its growing portfolio, Suffolk will relocate its Las Vegas office to 3800 Howard Hughes Parkway in early 2026. The new space offers panoramic views of Las Vegas landmarks, including The Sphere and Encore Las Vegas, reflecting the scale of Suffolk’s operations and its long-term commitment to the market.
The strategic location and expanded workspace are designed to strengthen collaboration across teams, streamline project management, and enhance client engagement. This move signals Suffolk’s dedication to building a lasting presence in Las Vegas and its readiness to support multiple concurrent, high-profile projects.
Expanded Leadership Team
Suffolk’s growth in Las Vegas is further reinforced by an expanded leadership team. Chris Anderson, General Manager of Suffolk Las Vegas, continues to lead the regional team with more than 40 years of industry experience.
Joining Anderson is Jim Scarpace, recently relocated from Suffolk’s Tampa office to serve as Chief Operating Officer for Las Vegas. Scarpace brings operational depth to the region, positioning Suffolk to manage an increasingly diverse portfolio and continue its trajectory of success.
“The momentum we’ve built in Las Vegas speaks to the trust our clients and partners place in Suffolk,” said Pete Tuffo, President of Suffolk’s Gulf Coast Region, National Gaming, and Las Vegas. “We’ve assembled a best-in-class team, invested in the market, and proven our ability to deliver highly complex projects on aggressive schedules. As Las Vegas continues to evolve, Suffolk is uniquely positioned to help shape its next generation of landmark destinations.”
Chris Anderson adds, “What sets Suffolk apart in Las Vegas is the strength of our teams in the field and the way we leverage technology to plan, coordinate, and execute with precision. That combination allows us to deliver complex projects with confidence while raising expectations for how this work gets done.”

Suffolk’s expansion in Las Vegas is a natural extension of decades of experience delivering signature hospitality and gaming destinations nationwide. Notable projects include:
- Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Hollywood, Florida
- Encore Boston Harbor, Massachusetts
- Seminole Brighton Bay Hotel & Casino, Okeechobee, Florida
