Suffolk Builds on Las Vegas Momentum With Project Wins, New Hughes Center Office, Expanded Leadership Team and Diversified Project Portfolio

Suffolk strengthens its Las Vegas presence to support expanding work across gaming, hospitality, luxury residential and community-focused development

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Suffolk, one of the most innovative and successful builders in the country, is announcing its selection to lead the renovation and expansion of the iconic Flamingo Las Vegas for Caesars Entertainment, marking the latest in a list of several project wins that contribute to the strong momentum of the general contractor’s Las Vegas operations. An expanded leadership team and a new office east of The Strip will further strengthen Suffolk’s ability to deliver complex, high-profile projects across the region.

Leveraging advanced technology, modeling and innovative planning tools, Suffolk is known for executing highly complex and schedule-driven projects where precision and on-time delivery are essential. From gaming to luxury hospitality and community-focused projects, Suffolk brings deep experience delivering projects with complex schedules and defined opening timelines.

Since initially establishing its Las Vegas presence in 2023, Suffolk has quickly earned a strong reputation in the market. The company’s current, diverse portfolio of projects includes the Four Seasons Private Residences Las Vegas, where the team recently completed a major 12-hour concrete pour totaling more than 4,500 cubic yards of concrete, supported by Suffolk’s advanced Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) modeling to enhance coordination and planning across all phases of construction. The project team marked the milestone by hosting a celebratory event for trade partners, recognizing the collaboration and effort behind the achievement. Additional work in the region includes Campus for Hope, a 20-plus-acre campus providing comprehensive services to address homelessness, and the Flamingo renovation, which includes comprehensive upgrades to the lobby and casino areas, a new lobby bar and improvements to both the main and VIP registration spaces.

To support its growing operations, Suffolk will relocate its Las Vegas office to 3800 Howard Hughes Parkway in early 2026. The new space features panoramic views of hallmark city landmarks such as The Sphere and Encore Las Vegas, reflecting both the scale of the team’s recent accomplishments and Suffolk’s long-term commitment to the region.

“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, General Manager of Suffolk Las Vegas, continues to guide the regional team with more than four decades of industry experience. Strengthening that leadership is Jim Scarpace, who recently relocated from Suffolk’s Tampa office to serve as Chief Operating Officer for Las Vegas, adding operational depth and positioning the region for continued growth.

“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,” said Chris Anderson, General Manager of Suffolk Las Vegas. “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, including the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida; Encore Boston Harbor; Seminole Brighton Bay Hotel & Casino in Okeechobee, Florida; and Chicken Ranch Casino Resort in Jamestown, California.
