Vegas: US leader in luxury hotels

Saturday, 08 Mar, 2011 0

 Las Vegas is now home to 15 AAA Five Diamond Resorts and restaurants or more than any other city in the US. Other upscale developments helping to add to the lure of not only gamblers but also meeting planners:
 

— The 340-room Ravella at Lake Las Vegas recently opened to add to the already long luxury list. It’s an Italian-inspired resort on the shores of the largest privately owned man-made lake in the US.
 

—The opening late last year of the 2,995-room Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, yet another luxury property on the Strip.
 

—A US$20 million renovation of the famous Stratosphere Casino Hotel & Tower. It included remodeling of 909 guest rooms known as Stratosphere Select which have a variety of new amenities.
 

—The designation of the Las Vegas Convention Center as a World Trade Center site should bring more international business to the area, planners say.
 

It also has 136,000 hotel rooms and almost 10 million square feet of meeting space.
