July 1, 2014
Westgate Resorts announced the acquisition of the LVH – Las Vegas Hotel & Casino as the newest addition to its portfolio of 28 resorts. The property was formerly known as the Las Vegas Hilton and will be renamed Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. The LVH is a landmark property that, at one time, was the largest hotel in the world and was home to such legendary greats as Elvis Presley and Liberace. The hotel is located just one block off the Las Vegas Strip, is adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center, and is one of seven stations on the Las Vegas Monorail.
David Siegel, Founder and CEO of Westgate Resorts, announced, “Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino will set the standard for service in Las Vegas. We are very excited to be taking this important part of Vegas history and reinventing it for the next generation of Las Vegas visitors.” With nearly 3,000 rooms, including 300 suites, Westgate will convert some of the rooms to luxury timeshare villas while still operating the resort hotel rooms and suites. Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino features a 95,000-sf casino, 200,000 sf of meeting and convention space, restaurants, entertainment, a spa and fitness center, pool with luxurious cabanas, access to golf at the exclusive Las Vegas Country Club, and the world’s largest race and sports SuperBook.
“Although a selection of our rooms will be converted into timeshare villas, it is important to know that our resort hotel and legendary luxury suites will remain open to Las Vegas visitors and tourists, for vacations and conventions,” said Siegel. “We will be providing the best of both worlds on our resort property. Las Vegas is the center of the universe for luxury destination resorts, and the new Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino is at the center of the Las Vegas renaissance.”
