Las Ramblas: The Hippest Hotel in Vegas?

More details have come out about the news that George Clooney is going to be building a hotel/casino in Las Vegas. Las Ramblas, a five-star hotel casino with a Spanish theme, will be a joint project between the Ocean’s 11 star and Rande Gerber, the mastermind behind an empire of hipster nightclubs. The 3 billion dollar project is planned to be in the area between the Hard Rock and the upcoming W Hotel just east of the Strip off Harmon.

In “George Clooney Making a Side Bet in Vegas,” Clooney had this to say about his new project,

“We have this romantic notion of a place where you put on a jacket or a dress to go to dinner,” said Clooney, 44. “We will have some sort of dress code so that it will feel like you are walking into a more formal Las Vegas of a different age or a classic Monte Carlo casino.”—Los Angeles Times

Las Ramblas will be a 300 room boutique hotel as part of a 25 acre property to include a casino and a sprawling series of condo towers.
Clooney and Gerber joined with Related Las Vegas and Centra Properties to make this happen. Construction will begin in 2006.
