Hop’s Motel (it was spelled with one "p") was a longtime favorite of conventioneers, who loved the location at 3412 Paradise Road, on the corner of Desert Inn Road, directly across from the Convention Center -- and long-term snowbirds, who loved the large suites with kitchenettes. It was built on a 2.5-acre site in the '50s and torn down a few years ago to make way for a 15-story, 548-room Marriott Renaissance Hotel, which uses the address of 3400 Paradise Road.
