Looking for a lodging option or event space with a different feel from the sprawling Las Vegas Boulevard Strip properties? The Artisan hotel, which originally opened in 2006 and was purchased by commercial real estate investment and business development company the Siegel Group earlier this year, is a boutique hotel walking distance from the Strip, with an art collection in signature ornate frames adorning the lobby, hallways, rooms, and ceilings. Art ranges from contemporary to classic pieces including Cézanne, Chagall, and da Vinci, and 62 standard rooms are each named after a different artist. Under the new ownership, the property has revamped its lounge and pool venues. Two artist suites have upgraded amenities.
The Artisan pool deck, available for events, is lined with three cabanas that come with ceiling fans and 32-inch plasma TVs. Ten daybeds are also available. Another spot right for low-key events is the Library, under a stairwell and tucked away from the property. The area has room for 10 guests for a seated event.
The Mood at Artisan restaurant dishes up modern American cuisine by chef Eric Nenneman, and the Artisan Lounge is open 24 hours a day. There is a business center and complimentary Wi-Fi for guests, plus a fitness center. A bonus: The Artisan is a pet-friendly property.
