Will a 220-Room Hotel near the Stadium Make Any Difference?

About your News item on a proposed 220-room hotel a few blocks from Allegiant Stadium. 220 rooms? The stadium's capacity is 65,000. Las Vegas has lots of rooms, but 220 more won't make much difference, will it? Just curious.

As the question veraciously points out, a 220-room hotel near Allegiant Stadium, which seats 65,000, would have a minimal impact on accommodating event-driven demand for rooms.

Las Vegas has more than 150,000 hotel rooms, so 220 more represent just 0.15% of the total inventory. Another way to look at it: For a sold-out event at Allegiant, assuming two-three people per room, the hotel could house 440-660 guests — less than 1% of the stadium’s capacity. Most event attendees wouldn’t, obviously, rely on this hotel.

Its significance lies less in substantially easing lodging pressure and more in convenience for the select few who take advantage of its proximity to the stadium, allowing guests to walk to and from. That saves them considerable hassle, plus parking fees, and helps alleviate congestion before, during, and after big games and concerts, even if it's just by just a hundred or so cars.

In addition, even a relatively minuscule hotel within walking distance of the stadium would be a modest, but meaningful, step in transforming the industrial-heavy Stadium District into the vibrant entertainment hub that city planners envision. Clark County’s Stadium District plan, approved in 2021, aims to slowly but surely shift the area from warehouses and industry to a pedestrian-friendly mixed-use zone with restaurants, bars, hotels, and enhanced public transit options, such as the Vegas Loop. The proposed hotel adds lodging capacity, encouraging fans to stay longer for events, dining, or entertainment, which is the goal of the district: keeping visitors in the area pre- and post-game.

So if approved, funded, and built, the hotel would make, as we say, a modest contribution to the greater scheme of things: walkability to and from events, assisting in the area's eventual transition to a commercial district, and perhaps signaling market confidence and attracting further investment.

districts

the idea of sports/entertainment districts is everywhere, exactly why the Tropicana site is wrong.  It'll help Mgm casinos a little but for Vegas growth the Rio site would have been perfect

Easy walk

Kind of a dumb question imo but I get it. It’s  already an easy walk from thousands of rooms on the strip, especially since they close the bridge over the I15. Could be a good place for people to stay with mobility issues, and putting more restaurants and entertainment in the area sounds good at least on paper.I’ve walked to raiders games from MB, NYNY, Bellagio, Venetian, Wynn  and I’m 60.

Easy Walk

So, just how far of a walk is it to the gate?
John Dulley, How far of a walk was it to raiders games from MB, NYNY, Bellagio, Venetian, Wynn?

Couldn’t tell you how far but im guessing 10-15 minutes or less from MB, another 10-15 minutes from NYNY and from the Wynn again not sure a couple miles I’m guessing. I love to walk the strip and I’m a fast walker but sometimes the crowds really slow the  pace down. That back way from belaggio thru vdara/aria/parkmgm helps time wise.

Easy walk

It never ceases to amaze me when someone types (or maybe speaks) a question into a computer/phone asking some random person to answer, meanwhile the device they are using could easily provide the correct answer….

This hotel will not get built

It seems that about once a year there is a proposed new hotel with around 200 rooms close to Raiders Stadium and like the rest of them it won't get built. Most people/companies who own land near Raiders Stadium are trying to sell the land and have no intent on building anything.

The only open place close to Raiders Stadium is a bar/restaurant called WSKY Bar & Grill and it opened in November of 2023. On Yelp it has 4.6 starts out of 5 and the pictures inside are impressive. There is also a 4 story parking garage next to it so for Raiders games and other events they charge people a lot of money to park there. There is free parking on non-event days. The company that owns WSKY Bar & Grill is Terrible's gas station which is next to it and is located at the corner of Russell Road and Polaris Avenue.  

Lastly the reason I know this is because I have a documentary called Dice Dice Baby in Vegas and here is the YouTube link:
