Dream breaks ground on Las Vegas property
The groundbreaking ceremony for Dream Las Vegas took place last week, with construction now expected to commence on the $550 million development ahead of its opening on the south end of the city’s strip in 2024.
Developed by Shopoff Realty Investments and Contour in partnership with Dream, the 531-room lifestyle hotel and casino pairs global architecture firm DLR Group with interior design by AvroKo, Rockwell Group and DLR Interiors, and is set to comprise seven F&B venues, 12,000ft² of event space and a 20,000ft² casino.
Amongst the dining and nightlife options will be a third-level resort pool and day club; two bar and lounge concepts on the gaming floor; a lobby bar; craft coffee café and gelateria on the street level; as well as a sporting club, boutique nightclub, signature restaurant and 24-hour diner on the third floor. Other facilities meanwhile include a 5,000ft² ballroom and 90-seat live entertainment theatre; a 20,000ft² gaming floor; and a fitness centre by Technogym. Casino and gaming operations will be led by Peninsula Pacific Entertainment.
The 20-storey tower will feature a mix of venues distributed vertically throughout the composition roof decks and terraces. The undulating contemporary design will feature a glass and metal façade, boasting stylistic details such as radiused corners, double-height terraces, oversized windows and an aerodynamic character influenced by its context. When complete, Dream Las Vegas will be a refreshing addition to the city’s skyline.
“All of us at Dream are proud to play a role in creating what will be one of the most spectacular new additions to Las Vegas,” says CEO Jay Stein. “Las Vegas is a destination much like our Dream Hotels brand, marked by a vibrant, youthful energy and dynamic cultural arts and entertainment scene unlike anywhere else in the world. Together with innovative developers Shopoff and Contour, it is our goal to create an experience-driven property that surpasses expectations, blending forward-thinking design, progressive programming and world-class hospitality with unmatched dining and nightlife. We are not just building another hotel, we are building an experience, and one that we hope will contribute substantially to the future of Las Vegas. Following the successful launch of Dream Hollywood in 2017, I have every confidence that Dream Las Vegas will be our newest star of the west coast and a critical addition to our growing portfolio.”
