The company says the plans for Phoenix are still in play.
Back in January 2020, just before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, Atari announced it would be building several hotels across the country. Six years later, none have been built. And the Las Vegas Sun reports that the video game themed hotel for Sin City was officially dead.
A spokesperson for Atari told the Sun that the company “explored developing a location in Las Vegas” in 2020 and 2021 but “the deal didn’t come to fruition.” The last update for an Atari hotel in Las Vegas came in early 2024 when the Las Vegas Review-Journal declared the idea wasn’t dead yet. At the time, the company said more information about the plan was coming in late 2024. But that never happened.
The Las Vegas hotel was supposed to be “inspired by, and built with, classic and modern video game culture in mind,” the developer insisted.
