InterContinental Hotels Group plans to
construct a 386-room Crowne Plaza hotel in Las Vegas.
The hotel, expected
to open in 2010, will be just west of major casinos on the Las
Vegas Strip and a short drive from McCarran International
Airport.
Consistent with the
Crowne Plaza brand, the hotel will be meetings-focused; the
property will have 16,000 square feet of meetings space.
The world-famous
gaming resorts and thriving convention industry bring in tens of
thousands of visitors a year, making this a great location for an
upscale meetings-savvy brand like Crowne Plaza, said Gina LaBarre,
Crowne Plazas vice president of brand management for the
Americas.
The Asian-themed
Crowne Plaza will include a casino, three restaurants, three
lounges, a spa, an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness center and a
business center. Complimentary wired and wireless Internet will be
available throughout the hotel.
