Clark County commissioners are considering a new hotel proposal that would further alter the landscape near Allegiant Stadium, which previously hosted Super Bowl LVIII, in Las Vegas.
The proposed eight-story Embassy Suites hotel would be built on the southwest corner of Valley View Boulevard and Quail Avenue. The land is located less than a mile from Allegiant Stadium, home of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders, and is currently part of a predominantly industrial area.
Key Takeaways
- Clark County will review plans for an eight-story Embassy Suites hotel near Allegiant Stadium
- The proposed hotel includes 220 rooms, rooftop pool, spa, sushi bar, and event amenities
- Nearby developments include a new $1.75 billion MLB stadium funded partly by a new tax district
The proposed hotel will have 220 guest rooms and many high-end amenities. The hotel will also include a ballroom, gym, spa, and other amenities, according to plans presented to the county, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The design also includes a recreation deck with a swimming pool and outdoor entertaining area on the rooftop. The project is scheduled to appear before the Clark County Commission on May 7.
The land sits within the footprint of the greater Stadium District, a redevelopment zone that will complement and support the $2 billion stadium. Though the district is currently occupied by industrial buildings and infrastructure, the long-term vision is one in which a network of hospitality, retail, and entertainment uses caters to stadium guests and patrons.
The proposed Embassy Suites would be among the first major hospitality developments within the immediate vicinity of Allegiant Stadium, a benchmark toward fulfilling that vision.
Las Vegas undergoing paradigm shift
A letter from the law firm representing the property owner to the county mentioned the hotel's walking distance from Allegiant Stadium. Given the foot traffic from subsequent NFL games, concerts, and other high-occupancy events at the stadium, that feature will undoubtedly be a top-selling point.
Demand for nearby lodging should remain strong as the area develops into a year-round entertainment district.
The hotel project is also catching a broader wave of sports-driven hospitality and infrastructure development in Las Vegas. Around the same time as the Embassy Suites development, the Clark County Commission voted to approve the establishment of a Sports and Entertainment Improvement District to finance a portion of the cost of the planned MLB stadium on the Las Vegas Strip.
That $1.75 billion stadium will be the Oakland Athletics' new home. The new ballpark will have a seating capacity of approximately 33,000 and will be situated on nine acres at the south end of the Tropicana Las Vegas property.
This follows a unanimous vote in April by county commissioners to OK construction permits required for the stadium. If constructed, the stadium would add another major sports complex to the Las Vegas Valley, furthering the city's goal of diversifying its tourism portfolio.
