LAS VEGAS — CIM Group is expanding Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino with the addition of an eight-story, 495-room building in downtown Las Vegas. The extra rooms will increase the total number of rooms by more than 75 percent, bringing the total from 629 to 1,124 rooms.
The new building is being constructed atop a reconfigured porte-cochere (a covered entrance large enough for vehicles to pass through), and guests will have direct access to the third-level pool deck, the hotel’s casino, ground-level retail and entertainment options. Furthermore, CIM Group is developing a new public casino entrance.
Of the new rooms, 90 are suites, including 67 studio units, 20 one-bedroom suites and three Presidential Suites each totaling nearly 1,500 square feet of living space. Downtown Grand Hotel also offers DJs on the casino floor every Friday and Saturday, six meeting rooms ranging from 814 to 10,625 square feet, and six restaurants.
Upon completion of the expansion, Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino will comprise three buildings that span two city blocks between Casino Center Boulevard, North 4th Street, East Ogden Avenue and East Stewart Avenue.
CIM Group originally opened Downtown Grand Hotel in 2013. The Los Angeles-based developer expects to complete the expansion late this summer. The firm broke ground in January 2019.
