"Dear Karen,

On behalf of our entire team behind both of our Fairmont projects in Breckenridge, I would like to thank you for the tremendous effort that you and 555 have provided over the past 2 years. Throughout a very challenging economy and development period, your continued creative and emotional energy has been a foundation that our team has depended on and will definitely help in meeting our original goals and objectives.

I am proud of what you have accomplished and believe your design and creativity will be one of the primary reasons our project will ultimately win industry awards and will confidently stand the test of time.

Thank you again Karen. You are a true partner!
Warm Regards,"

"To Whom It May Concern:

l have had the pleasure of working with 555 Design on four separate projects over the past nine years, and there is no other team I would rather work with. Not only are they very talented, but they have also become my good friends.

555 began working with us in 1999, two years before our Palms project in Las Vegas was due to open. Their hard work and dedication to this project is visible in every inch of N9NE Steakbouse, ghostbar and Rain Nightclub. In 2003, we called on 555 to design four more venues at our Palms Springs location, SpaceBar, Desert Rain, N9NE Steakhouse and Belly Italiano. One year later, drawings were in the works for Nove Italiano Moon Nightclub, and the world's only Playboy Club in the Palms', new Fantasy Tower. Their knowledge of nightclub and restaurant design is evident. The one quality that truly differentiates them from any other that I have worked with in the past is their commitment to endure every project through to the very end. As an owner, they were my voice to the construction team from conception until the grand opening.

I was so impressed with James and Karen that I chose them as the design team for my house. In typical 555 fashion, they understood my vision and delivered on all finishes.

Needless to say I am extremely pleased with our design choice."
