A $50 million lavish property-wide overhaul encompasses a redesign of the Ivory Tower guestrooms, new culinary options, re-imagined gaming, and new nightlife options. Designed by Klai Juba Architects, the 428 Ivory Tower rooms are sensual and sophisticated. For SOCIAL, the hotel’s new center bar and lounge, Rockwell Group created a see-and-be-seen space with its elevated bar area offering guests a 360-degree view of the gaming floor.
