The design showpiece of the complex is the Atrium, the vast entrance to Crown. Five stories high, it is a lavish symphony of light, water and clouds within a space of black Italian marble and rippled glass walls. High above the black marble floor is the crystal wave ceiling, a 100 metre long undulating wave of crystals and fibre optics. The breathtaking space has become a total environment, based on the theme of "four seasons in a day". Composers, artists and the latest lighting, laser and technical whizzes have been brought together to create this amazing world.

The formidable 350 gaming tables to 2500 slot casino, spanning half a kilometre in length, represents only 12 per cent of the total 500,000 square metre property which is dominated by an extensive entertainment precinct and world-class hotel. The casino spans one main floor, an upper and sub-level, with numerous entrances - from the main street, riverside promenade and hotel. The main gaming floor is akin to a myriad of small casinos, all linked by the lush brown carpet that winds half a kilometre from one entrance of the casino to the other. The raised accessed flooring system features a network of services including a facility to maintain constant fresh air to the gaming area.
