Westgate Resorts Acquires LVH

Westgate Resorts has acquired the LVH–Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, making the property the newest addition to the Westgate’s portfolio of 28 resorts. The hotel has been renamed Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino.

The new Westgate is located one block off the Las Vegas Strip, adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center, and is one of seven stations on the Las Vegas Monorail.

The Westgate hotel offers nearly 3,000 rooms, including 300 suites, and Westgate will convert some of the rooms to luxury timeshare villas while still operating the resort hotel rooms and suites. Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino features a 95,000-sq.-ft. casino and 200,000 sq. ft. of meeting and convention space, as well as restaurants, a spa and fitness center, a pool with cabanas, access to golf at the Las Vegas Country Club and a race and sports SuperBook.

“Although a small number of our rooms will be converted into timeshare units, it’s important to know that our resort hotel and legendary luxury suites will remain open to our customers,” said David Siegel, Westgate Resorts founder and CEO.
