Atari Scraps Las Vegas Hotel, Shifts Atari Hotels Push to Phoenix

The company is now concentrating on a Phoenix build that still hinges on fresh funding and a long runway to a projected 2028 opening.

Overview

  • An Atari spokesperson confirmed the Las Vegas deal “didn’t come to fruition,” ending the planned gaming-themed hotel near the Strip.
  • Atari says its hotel effort is focused on Phoenix for the time being, with no visible progress at other originally announced cities.
  • Renderings for the Phoenix project were released in December 2025, and the Atari Hotels site lists a grand opening in Q4 2028.
  • Local reporting points to construction beginning late this year, highlighting inconsistent timelines against the company’s published schedule.
  • Atari is seeking roughly $35 million to $40 million to fund the Phoenix “playable destination,” and no Atari-branded hotels have been built six years after the 2020 announcement.
