“The Alex represents a bold new chapter for SAHARA Las Vegas and reflects our vision to continually redefine the guest experience,” said Alex Meruelo, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Meruelo Group. “This transformation is about more than reimagining a hotel tower. It’s about creating something truly distinctive, where sophisticated design, exceptional service and a sense of exclusivity come together to offer guests an entirely new way to experience our resort. As we approach our 75th anniversary, there is no better moment to honor the legacy that has made this property an iconic Las Vegas destination while investing boldly in its future.”

A Milestone Rooted in History
Since opening its doors in 1952, SAHARA Las Vegas has been woven into the story of the Strip, welcoming generations of guests and hosting some of the most celebrated names in entertainment over the decades. As the resort marks 75 years in 2027, The Alex pays tribute to that heritage, drawing on the glamour that defined the property’s golden era while introducing a level of hospitality designed for today’s traveler. The result is a bold new expression of SAHARA Las Vegas, celebrating the resort’s iconic heritage while ushering in a new era of elevated resort offerings.

A New Expression of Las Vegas Hospitality
Rooted in the timeless glamour of Las Vegas, The Alex will introduce a refined design aesthetic that seamlessly blends classic sophistication with contemporary elegance. Rich forest greens, warm gold and bronze accents, elegant wood finishes and plush textures will establish an inviting atmosphere, while thoughtfully curated details will bring a distinctive sense of character to the experience.

The transformation will encompass 300 guest rooms and suites, each designed as a sophisticated retreat from the excitement of the Strip. Guests can anticipate beautifully appointed interiors, sumptuous bedding, elegant furnishings, and a collection of in-room amenities, including premium Nespresso coffee offerings, Molton Brown bath products, plush robes and slippers, complemented by a nightly turndown service. Beyond the accommodations, The Alex will introduce a dedicated entrance and private check-in to welcome guests into an intimate setting, complemented by an exclusive lounge, concierge services and additional privileges reserved for guests of The Alex.

Located within SAHARA Las Vegas, guests of The Alex are just steps from the resort's acclaimed dining, nightlife, casino, pool, and entertainment experiences while enjoying the privacy and elevated service of a dedicated hotel tower. The Alex balances the excitement of the destination with the comfort of a well-appointed retreat, offering a stay that is both connected to the city and comfortably set apart.

A Reimagined Approach to Wellness
Further enhancing the experience, The Alex will introduce a renewed focus on health and wellness with the debut of the thoughtfully designed Alora Spa and SAHARA Athletic Club. Envisioned as a sophisticated sanctuary away from the excitement of the Las Vegas Strip, Alora Spa will offer an inviting escape dedicated to relaxation and renewal. The reimagined space will complement The Alex's elevated accommodations and personalized hospitality, providing guests with an opportunity to unwind and recharge in a tranquil setting. Additional details surrounding the spa's treatments, services and amenities will be revealed closer to opening.
