At last the speculation can end. The former Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon, currently in the throes of a $185 million renovation, has a new name: The Cromwell.<\/p>\n

The hotel at the fabled corner of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard, of course, was originally going to re-open as Gansevoort Las Vegas, but the name was yanked because of the alleged mob ties<\/a> of a Gansevoort investor.<\/p>\n

The hotel originally opened as the Barbary Coast in 1979, then Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon, then tentatively Gansevoort. After much speculation, Caesars Entertainment has landed on The Cromwell, which sounds a whole lot better than some of the other alternatives.<\/p>\n

The Cromwell, winner of this blog’s inaugural “Most Pretentious Hotel Name, Ever” award, is expected to open in mid-2014. The Cromwell will start accepting reservations Feb. 24, 2014.<\/p>\n

Beyond its oceanographic origins, in the branding world, The Cromwell is also a “name we’re pretty sure we can get the domain name and Twitter handle for without having to pay someone through the nose.”<\/p>\n

Our friends over at the Neon Dice blog<\/a> sniffed out the new name for Bill’s several days ago through trademark filings. From another trademark, it appears the runner-up name for the hotel was The Ilyse, winner of this blog’s inaugural “Most Pretentious Hotel Name, Ever, That Didn’t Actually Get Used” award.<\/p>\n

The absolute best thing about The Cromwell? It’s not Gansevoort! Las Vegas dodged a bullet on that one.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
