A perfectionist by even the most exacting standards, artist Michel Crête believes the greatest threat to creativity is satisfaction. Michel Crête began his studies at Quebec’s Conservatory of Dramatic Art when he was 27, and in 1985, began his career at Montreal’s Théatre de 4 sous. With his talent for set design, décor and costumes, Crête joined Cirque du Soleil where he designed the costumes for Le Cirque Réinventé (1987). Endlessly creative and non-conformist, he moved on to prove that his true genius was in set design and he guided Cirque du Soleil’s journey throughout the 1990s as a magnificent theatre set replaced the traditional circus ring. Crête soon found an accomplice in Franco Dragone and together they collaborated on Cirque du Soleil’s evolution from Big Top to the over-the-top theatres for “O”, Mystère and La Nouba.

From 1990 to 1998, the environments for all of Cirque du Soleil's productions sprang from Michel Crête's imagination: he was the one responsible for the scenography of Nouvelle Expérience, Fascination, Saltimbanco, Mystère, Alegría, Quidam, "O", and La Nouba. He also had a hand in designing the three theatres that house Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas and Orlando. In 1998, Michel Crête received the Entertainment Design "Production of the Year" award for "O".

Michel Crête came to Cirque du Soleil in 1986 as costume designer for the show We Reinvent the Circus. His creations for that show, which was also recorded for television, won him a Gémeaux and a Gemini (awards recognizing the work of television artisans in Canada) for best costumes for a variety show.

After graduating from the Scenography Program at the National Theatre School of Canada in 1984, Michel Crête quickly became one of the most sought-after theatre set designers in Montreal. Between 1985 and 1991, he designed costumes and sets for nearly forty plays, working with renowned directors and rising stars on the Quebec theatre scene. Three times in a row, from 1989 to 1991, Montreal's Théâtre du Nouveau Monde awarded him its Prix Gascon-Roux for best set design.

In 2001, he designed the big top and created the set for Cheval, a production of the Cheval-Théâtre company founded by Gilles Ste-Croix

So who was George Ashmead Ferris, who sometimes gets credit for the Ferris wheel? That George was born in Philadelphia Jan. 31, 1859, two weeks before George W. G. Ferris. He was educated in Quaker schools and at Swarthmore College, later coming to Colorado and northern California. In 1906, he opened an office in Reno as an architect. George A. Ferris designed most of the schools in Reno after his arrival as well as high schools in Las Vegas, Eureka and Austin. His design for the Governor’s Mansion was accepted by acting Gov. Denver Dickerson in 1908. In the mid-1920s, Ferris and prominent architect Frederic J. DeLongchamps jointly supervised the plans for the state building in downtown Reno, where the Pioneer Center stands today.
George A. Ferris died at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Reno on Aug. 12, 1948, leaving a son, Lehman A. “Monk” Ferris, to carry on the architectural firm. Lehman died in 1997 at the age of 103.

Caesars Palaces: Las Vegas, NV
3570 Las Vegas Blvd. S.
Melvin Grossman (Architect) and
Jo Harris (Interior Designer)

She was responsible for laying out original inside of Caesars Palace, Circus Circus

Jo Harris, 78, the original interior designer for Caesars Palace and Circus Circus, died Saturday in Sacramento, Calif., from complications of diabetes. She served as a top aide to developer Jay Sarno for 28 years.

"He had the upmost respect for her work," said Heidi Sarno Straus, a daughter of the late Jay Sarno. "She had a style all her own, and it really appealed to my father."

She described the style as "high drama ... very Vegas glamour ... everything sunken marble, velvet on velvet and very ornate."

Stan Mallin, Sarno's longtime partner, described Harris as a pleasant associate. "She was very clever in designing and naming restaurants," including Cleopatra's Barge, the Bacchanal Room and Noshorium coffee shop at Caesars.

She consulted with them on casino exteriors, but "mainly her forte was interiors," Mallin said.

Harris was born in Sharon, Pa. Her father developed the first fully cantilevered, low-wing monoplane in Cleveland, and she had her own airplane, motorcycle and car when she was in high school.

She started working as an unpaid assistant to a local architect there at 14. She learned interior design at a department store in Youngstown, Ohio, and later did commercial design in Tulsa, Okla., Miami and Atlanta, where Sarno hired her in 1956.

Sarno and Mallin gave her 24 hours to design a combination nightclub, restaurant, convention center and motor inn for Birmingham, Ala. They also built the so-called cabanas in Atlanta, Dallas, and Palo Alto, Calif.

The Palo Alto project resembled Sarno's first casino, Caesars Palace, which opened in 1966. She designed it in a classical European design. A line of Italian cypress trees, fountains and reflecting pools led to the building.

Before Caesars, the design of most Strip casinos "was all just accidental," she recalled in an interview eight years ago.

The development team took a different approach with Circus Circus. It was built around an arena where circus performers still do stunts. Carnival attractions were on the second floor, along with "the world's best pickup joint." It had numbered tables with phones that could be used to call guests at other tables.

Attractions included a live raccoon that played basketball in a vending machine and a sideshow where a woman changed into a gorilla. The gorilla then broke out of her cage and sent people running.

Circus Circus was the first Strip casino designed for the family market, Mallin said, but it was "ahead of its time. It was not well-received." In the years after Circus Circus opened in 1968, there were fuel shortages, he said. "We went through some tough times" before Circus Circus and the concept won acceptance under Bill Bennett's management, he said.

After those projects, Harris became chairwoman of the new architectural and design department at Bauder College in California.

She helped Sarno plan his last project, The Grandissimo. It would have been the biggest hotel ever built, with 1 million square feet of public area and 6,000 guest rooms. It was to have waterfalls, a boat ride for guests, an illuminated aquarium with mermaids and an indoor swimming pool.

But the Grandissimo was never built, and Sarno died in 1984.

Survivors include three sons, Mickey Mahan of Houston, Bo Harris of Florida, Jack Benner, also a designer, of Berlin; and a daughter, Jill Von of Phoenix.

Memorial services are pending at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 11101 51st St. in Sacramento. Arrangements are by Evergreen Memorial.
