New Gansevoort Las Vegas Renderings Get Us Sort of Tingly

We’ve been sort of clinging to our love of Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall (and Barbary Coast before that), but after seeing some new renderings, we’re ready to get on the Gansevoort Las Vegas bandwagon.

The updated renderings show what’s in store for this dramatic, $185 million renovation at the corner of Flamingo and Las Vegas Boulevard.

The renderings of the rooms make them seem very inviting, even though they’re likely to be more expensive than when Gansevoort was Bill’s. Hey, there’s a price for progress (and personalized, VIP treatment).

The boutique hotel will have just 188 rooms, including 19 suites. A basement nightclub, Drai’s After Hours, and an indoor-outdoor rooftop dayclub by Victor Drai are expected to be big draws. Read more about Gansevoort Las Vegas at the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Gansevoort is pronounced “gan-suh-vort,” by the way, and Gansevoort Las Vegas is expected to open in April 2014.
