Hotels in Las Vegas Rooms

It was months ago, January to be exact, when the W Las Vegas Hotel & Residences premiered at the Sundance Festival. VIP guests were treated to a simulated Living Room of the future hotel, a taste of what the nightlife would be like as Amanda Scheer-Demme would be running the hotel's lounge, a first-ever poker tourney and were even allowed to reserve a condo.

But since then, the hype for this hotel has been a little too quiet. We wondered if the place was indeed going to end up as another Las Ramblas, (Clooney's Vegas failure) as a Standard & Poor's report predicted months ago.

Which is why we got in touch with a spokesperson at Edge Resorts, the development company behind the W (in partnership with Starwood Hotels.) Maggie Feldman lets us know that the W Las Vegas is scheduled to open in 2009. Above is a rendering of a room with a view.

Additionally, the first release of condo offerings in the hotel have been sold out and they are once again taking reservations for the second set of condos. And the LA boutique store Fred Segal will open up a shop within the hotel.

We even got the latest word on Las Ramblas, which Edge Resorts snapped up a few months ago. Turns out Edge will plan a resort-casino project that will "complement" the W Las Vegas.

We're not exactly sure what "complement"means, but we got at least three years to figure it out. Let's just hope Clooney didn't render the land useless.
