Shangri La might be a fictional place, an untouched
Asian mountain paradise that exists only in the novel
Lost Horizon, but the Shangri La Las Vegas will soon make
its way to the Las Vegas
strip. While this particular city has a rather tenuous
relationship with anything that could be considered serene,
as part of the sprawling, enigmatic Echelon
Resort complex that is rising upon the grave of the
Stardust, the Shangri La Hotel will encapsulate the luxury
and tranquility associated with its namesake. Boasting
350 rooms that are above and beyond the usual Vegas accommodations,
the Shangri La Vegas is the next step in the evolution
of luxury strip
hotels.
The spacious rooms will tower over the strip, offering
amazing views, with the Mondrian
and Delano in
the forefront, the ongoing light show that is the Vegas
strip in the back, the hotel might just convince guests
to feel they are in the mythical wonderland of Shangri
La. Only instead of traipsing down a mountain to get to
town, Shangri La hotel will take you directly to the casino
floor, full of the non-stop Vegas fun that visitors expect.
Furthering the theme of serenity and again drawing from the hotel’s loose connection to Asian culture, you’ll also find the CHI spa in the Shangri La Las Vegas. The major conceit behind chi is the notion of balance, and the Shangri La Hotel strives for the same goal – balancing the rapacious energy of Las Vegas with luxurious comforts, enabling guests to enjoy every side of the city. And nowhere will you feel more relaxed than at the Shangri La Vegas’ CHI spa. The holistic techniques will leave you feeling rested and re-energized, like winning pulling a jackpot hand with your last casino chip.
As part of the Echelon Resorts, guests will also be
in a prime location to explore one of the most exciting
architectural developments in Vegas history. Within walking
distance of all the other features the Echelon has to
offer, like the ExpoCenter,
two theaters – one for giant productions, one for
more intimate performances - and an endless Retail Promenade
where you can buy nearly anything you can think of, Shangri
La Las Vegas will soon be one of the prime locations along
the north side of the Vegas strip.
The smallest of the hotels here, with only half the
rooms of the Mondrian or Delano, the Shangri La Hotel
is the most exclusive destination among the Echelon Resort
buildings. And it’s easy to see why – there
are few finer places to stay in all of Las
Vegas.
