The hotel’s rooftop pool called the Picnic is close to being completed with its intricate tile work almost finished before synthetic grass is installed. The pool area, which can host concerts and outdoor movie nights, is about 35,000 square feet.
The hotel lobby is accessible from several entrances along the Downtown3rd corridor. The casino’s center bar, named furnace, is being built and will be the focal point in the building that was once a neon factory. The four pillars making the corners of the furnace were built to support the Picnic pool above.
“We call it industrial chic,” Schorr said. “What is important to us is that we are creating an urban hospitality experience. What I mean by that is that we are integrated with downtown Las Vegas. Where a Strip resort is integrated with itself … it’s the perfect mouse trap not giving you a reason to leave.”
