While Sin City might attract people of all ages from all over the world, the Las Vegas Marriott is zeroing in on one demographic in particular: Millenials. The all-suite property recently completed a $4.3 million makeover to its 278 rooms in order to appeal to this younger audience in the sea of flashy, sexy hotels along the Strip.
"Our company has a focus on the Millennial Consumer—the person seeking spaces as expansive as their imagination, who can mix work and personal time seamlessly, and who seeks a property that meets personalized experiential needs, whether it be the latest technologies, an ambiance of serenity, or a location in the center of it all," said General Manager Keith Gamberg. "As a result, our redesign appeals to these guests who gravitate toward substance and style plus a boutique-like feel, and calm ambiance that is just off the craziness of the Strip."
Some of the modern amenities guests can expect from the remodeling are stylish brown leather ottomans replacing coffee tables in the living areas; safes to accommodate tech gadgets including iPads, laptops, and smartphones; new snakeskin style padded headboards with reading lights; French doors separating the sleeping and living area in 200 of the suites; 42-inch flat-screen TVs; upgraded wireless high-speed Internet access; and environmentally-friendly THANN bath amenities.
The non-gaming hotel isn’t done making changes, however. Gamberg reveals, "Our first floor—including the restaurant and lobby—were redone approximately 18 months ago to reflect Marriott's Greatroom concept. In mid 2014, we will renovate all of the meeting venues on the 17th floor including the Ballroom."
