The Phoenix proposal faces a $35–40 million funding need with public timelines that conflict.

Overview

  • An Atari spokesperson told the Las Vegas Sun the Las Vegas deal "didn't come to fruition."
  • Atari Hotels says it is focusing on the Phoenix site, which is the only location with current renderings and promotional materials.
  • A December press release states the company is seeking $35 million to $40 million to finance the Phoenix "playable" hotel.
  • Projected schedules vary: Engadget reports construction in Phoenix is expected to begin late this year, local NBC cited activity by late 2026, and AtariHotels.com lists a Q4 2028 grand opening.
  • Other cities named in the 2020 rollout show no visible progress, and earlier Las Vegas plans for roughly 400 rooms on a five-acre Strip site never materialized.
