MGM Grand Las Vegas Hotel & Casino is embarking on an exciting journey to revamp 700 hotel rooms located in the Studio Tower, previously known as the West Wing. The renovation, scheduled for completion in December 2022, aims to infuse these rooms with a “retro desert feel,” featuring a refreshing color palette of fresh pink and chartreuse green. The design, masterfully crafted by Avenue Interior Design, draws inspiration from mid-century Palm Springs, seamlessly blending nostalgia with modern comforts.
Design Concept: A Retro Chic Vacation Revival
In collaboration with Avenue Interior Design, MGM Resorts International has envisioned a one-of-a-kind retreat within the Studio Tower. The new rooms will boast a stylish color palette, contemporary furniture, and geometric wall coverings that harken back to a bygone era while exuding modern sophistication. The goal is to create a memorable guest experience that captures the essence of a desert oasis and celebrates the spirit of the past.
Room Features: Luxurious Comforts and Modern Amenities
The revamped Studio Tower rooms will be a sanctuary of comfort and convenience for guests from all walks of life. Each room will feature rounded window seats, enlarged headboards, and artistic globe sconces, accentuating the sculptural furnishings. Not only will the guest bathrooms have space-saving barn doors, marble shower floors, and stylish chrome fixtures, but every room will also include a built-in recessed mini-bar, a generous 55-inch flat-screen TV, an open closet, and USB power outlets for easy charging.
Unveiling the Renovated Spaces:
As the refurbishment nears completion, the first batch of newly renovated rooms is set to be available to guests in late October. The rest of the Studio Tower rooms will be ready to welcome visitors by December 2022. Guests can anticipate a rejuvenating experience that blends modern comforts with nostalgic charm, creating an environment that is equally appealing to leisure travelers and business guests seeking relaxation after a productive day.
Nevada’s Gaming Industry: A Resilient Recovery
In parallel news, the Nevada gaming industry continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience despite challenges posed by the pandemic. July 2023 marked the 17th consecutive month of gaming revenue surpassing $1 billion. According to the Nevada Gaming Control Board, casinos collected $1.31 billion in gaming revenue, showing a slight 3.2% year-on-year decrease. However, this figure represents an impressive 28.4% increase compared to the pre-pandemic revenue of July 2019.
Regional Breakdown of Gaming Revenue:
Within Nevada’s Clark County, the primary revenue generator, gaming revenue reached $1.12 billion in July. Although this indicates a 3% decline from the previous year, when revenue amounted to $1.16 billion, the steady performance is a testament to the industry’s recovery. The renowned Las Vegas Strip, a world-famous attraction, contributed $773.3 million to Clark County’s revenue, registering a 3% decrease year-on-year. Other areas within Clark County, such as Downtown and North Las Vegas, experienced declines of 16% and 4% respectively, with revenue totaling $60 million and $24.5 million.
