US – Monte Carlo Las Vegas continues its transformation into Park MGM
By Phil - 10 May 2018
With the lighting of its new marquee and hotel tower signs, Monte Carlo in Las Vegas has now officially shed its name for a new identity – Park MGM – making way for the resort set for completion later this year.
Following a transformation that will touch every part of the central Strip property, Park MGM is aiming to be a ‘welcoming social hub that evokes the residential spirit, intimacy and individuality of a boutique experience on a resort scale.’
Filled with natural light and punctuated by nature-inspired décor and art, Park MGM’s lobby is a nod to urban gardens and parks, including the adjacent Park neighborhood, bringing the outdoors inside.
A partnership between Sydell Group and MGM Resorts International, Park MGM was born from the collaborative vision of the New York-based lifestyle hotelier and one of the world’s preeminent destination resort developers. When complete, the project will comprise two new distinct experiences: Park MGM, and a Las Vegas version of the renowned NoMad, a standalone 292-room hotel encompassing the tower’s top four floors.
“It’s a very special moment seeing this ambitious idea begin to come to life,” said Andrew Zobler, founder and CEO of Sydell Group. “Together with MGM, we were able to rethink every element of the guest experience and create something personal on a grand scale.”
Jim Murren, Chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts, said: “The opening of Park MGM, and soon NoMad, will tie together the entire neighborhood we’ve created with The Park, T-Mobile Arena and CityCenter. We are grateful to Andrew and the team at Sydell Group for sharing our vision to deliver a destination that embraces its surroundings and speaks to a new generation of travelers.”
Beginning with the opening of the 5,200-seat Park Theater in December 2016, the resort has unveiled several new amenities including completely reimagined guestrooms and suites, food and beverage offerings, lounges, pools, meeting spaces and more.
The gaming and betting elements include Moneyline Sports Book & Bar, which brings a new twist to the Las Vegas sports book with duckpin bowling lanes and billiards games. Park MGM’s remodeled casino floor reflects the resort’s outdoor inspiration. In keeping with Sydell Group’s vision for maintaining key elements of the former space, the casino’s design contains subtle nods to its Monte Carlo roots, including the refined chandeliers, crown moulding and stained-glass ceiling, all of which have been refurbished.
