Hotel planned near Allegiant Stadium

A $300 million resort from the Dream Hotel Group has been announced for the far south end of the Strip. Plans call for a 21-story 450-room hotel-casino with multiple restaurants, a rooftop bar, meeting space, a spa and a nightlife component. The developers are banking on the resort’s proximity to the new Allegiant Stadium, noting that guests will be able to walk to Raiders games. Construction on Dream Las Vegas is scheduled to begin next year with the resort opening in 2023.
