W Hotel is coming to Las Vegas!
The property, intended to be
THE international flagship for Starwood Resorts, will have
approximately 4,000 rooms in two elegant 42 story towers, but only a limited
selection of about 500 units will be sold as fully furnished condo hotel suites. There
will also be a 75,000-square-foot casino, world class spa and about
twenty restaurants
and upscale clubs. The
hotel will be constructed on 25 acres at the corner of Harmon Avenue and Koval
Lane, just behind the Aladdin (soon to be the Planet Hollywood) and
MGM Grand, and right next door to the massive Hard Rock expansion.
It has
already been announced that Hollywood retailer and icon Fred Segal
will is planning a 100,000 square foot store inside the W. This
would be Segal's first store outside California and his largest to
date.
Floor plans are now available and
unit selection has begun. There will be
studios of approximately 510 square feet, one bedroom units of
approximately 825 square feet and two bedroom combo units of 1050
square feet. Studios are estimated to start in the
mid $500s up to the high $700s and one bedrooms will start somewhere
in the $800s to over one million. There will also be some ultra
luxury pool side bungalows from one to four bedrooms and as well as
penthouse suites - more details should be forthcoming on those
later.
