STYLISH DESIGN MEETS CONVENIENT ADDRESS:
THE PLATINUM HOTEL AND SPA TO OPEN SOON
IN THE HEART OF LAS VEGAS
(Las Vegas, Nev.)—In a city where reputations are built on being innovative and luxurious, a new player has arrived: The Platinum Hotel and Spa.
One of the first condominium hotel and spa complexes to be completed in Las Vegas, the Platinum Hotel and Spa will open in July 2006, and will feature 255 suites with stunning views of the Strip and the mountains, along with all the amenities visitors to the city have come to expect. A sophisticated property that mixes style and functionality, the Platinum is uniquely positioned to appeal to leisure and business travelers who desire personalized service in a warm, welcoming atmosphere that’s in the center of activity. The Platinum will be the perfect place to unwind—whether on the rooftop terrace, in THE WELL Spa, at the gorgeous indoor/outdoor pools, or in one of the spacious guest room suites that the hotel offers. What makes the Platinum even more unique is that it will not have a casino operation; however, guests will be so close to the action it will never be missed.
“We will provide a terrific hotel experience so that our guests can work as much as they need to, and play as hard as they want to,” says Peter Rockwood, vice president and general manager of the Platinum.
All units in the 17-floor high-rise are individually owned, fully furnished condominiums. This means that visitors can reserve a Platinum guest room in this dynamic city and know that it has all the comforts of home—from a 42” wall-mounted plasma HDTV to a full kitchen, electric fireplaces, whirlpool baths, and private outdoor terraces. Business travelers will also enjoy the use of flexible and
functional event and strategy rooms, offering high-speed Internet access and Wi-Fi capabilities. Additionally, all 255 suites can be utilized for entertaining business clients, and the hotel is centrally located to the Las Vegas Convention Center and Sands Exposition Center, and steps away from the Las Vegas Monorail.
Once guests have had their fill of the numerous in-room amenities, they can enjoy the hotel’s many other enticements, including the indoor and outdoor pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and luxurious WELL Spa. Additionally, the hotel will feature a beautiful, contemporary poolside restaurant offering tasting plates and unique presentations, a cocktail lounge/social parlor in the lobby, and Misora, the 17th-floor rooftop terrace for viewing the dazzling Las Vegas Strip or gazing at the dramatic desert sunsets.
A mere 1 ˝ blocks from Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Paris and the multitude of attractions and shows, guests can simply walk out the Platinum’s front doors and be anywhere on the Strip in a matter of minutes. Additionally, the hotel is just 10 minutes from McCarran International Airport.
For those who love coming to Las Vegas but desire a change of pace and a comfortable, upscale retreat at the end of busy days and exciting nights, the Platinum is a welcome addition to this ever-growing, dynamic city.
The Platinum Hotel and Spa is located at 211 E. Flamingo Rd. in Las Vegas. Please call 702-365-5000 or visit www.lvplatinum.com for more information.
