Big Marriott hotel set for site near Convention Center
Thursday, Dec. 4, 2003 | 10:51 a.m.
What's billed as Nevada's largest non-gaming hotel will be built adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center by a Dallas-based real-estate developer.
Jackson-Shaw Company, which has a Las Vegas office that employs 120 people, announced Wednesday that it would build a 15-story, 548-room Marriott Renaissance hotel on Paradise Road, just south of Desert Inn Road.
The builder plans a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday at which it also will detail plans for a charitable donation in Las Vegas.
The $100 million Marriott Renaissance is expected to open in February 2005.
In a release announcing the project, Lewis W. Shaw II, chairman and chief executive of Jackson-Shaw, said the hotel would position itself as "a quiet place to cinch the deals too public for the convention floor" and that it would not attempt to compete with Strip hotel-casinos.
The hotel will have 30 suites, 20,000 square feet of banquet and meeting room space and provide 1,000 jobs.
Jackson-Shaw, which owns and operates the 325-room Hampton Inn Tropicana and several commercial real estate developments in Las Vegas, is enthused that the hotel will be linked to the Marriott reservation system and that guests would be able to use or accumulate points for Marriott's loyalty program, Marriott Rewards.
