Formerly known as the Maxim Hotel and Casino, the Westin Las Vegas Hotel, Casino and Spa on Flamingo road will be closing the casino. Starwood Hotels and Resorts said that “lack of revenue” made the decision easy to get rid of the “Max Casino,” which operates 150 slot machines and just six table games.
As part of the redesign and removal of the Casino will be upgraded rooms, new suites, a new salon, redesigned fitness center and a paint job.
Starwood is partially doing this to focus on their other local project, the “W” Brand Boutique Hotel, which will be another redesign of part of the failed SLS Hotel.
Starwood has four other properties in the Las Vegas area, belonging to the Westin, Four Points, and Elements brands. Starwood Preferred Guest members also enjoy earn-and-burn privileges at select Caesars Entertainment properties in Las Vegas and elsewhere.
The building is most famous for the site where Tupac was killed in front in 1996, but doesn’t commemorate it’s history.
