Gansevoort Las Vegas to open in early 2014

Caesars Entertainment Corporation is teaming up with New York-based luxury hotel brand Gansevoort Hotel Group and nightlife impresario Victor Drai to launch a never before seen Las Vegas experience creating an intimate urban resort at the location of Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon. At the heart of the Strip on the prime corner of Las Vegas Blvd. and Flamingo Road, Gansevoort Las Vegas is planned to open in early 2014. Following a US$185 million renovation, Gansevoort’s will create the only intimate property among the Strip’s towering skyscrapers. Gansevoort Las Vegas will feature 188 Parisian apartment-style guest rooms, including 19 suites, designed by Tandem Las Vegas. An intimate lobby space will welcome guests upon arrival, with a redesigned lobby bar, ultra-lounge, retail outlets and a 3,600-square-metre casino. A destination restaurant overlooking the Strip will round out the guest experience. “We are confident that the Gansevoort Las Vegas will be unlike anything that exists in Las Vegas today,”said Michael Achenbaum, founder and president, Gansevoort Hotel Group. Gansevoort Las Vegas will also feature another first for Las Vegas – the creation of Drai’s Beach Club and Nightclub, Victor Drai’s reinvention of Las Vegas nightlife featuring a 5,850-square-metre indoor/outdoor nightclub and rooftop pool experience. According to officials, Gansevoort Las Vegas, combined with the nearby open-air retail, dining and entertainment complex The LINQ, opening in late 2013, will transform the heart of the Strip into the heart of Las Vegas entertainment.
