About the Casino
When this hotel opened it was known as The Resort at Summerlin and was designed to capture an upscale resort market and capitalize on the many golf courses in the area. Over the next couple of years, the hotel changed names (Regent Grand) and eventually went bankrupt leading to its purchase by the Marriott hotel chain and its third, and hopefully final, name: The JW Marriott.
What that means to you is that not only do you get to use up those Marriott rewards points at a Vegas hotel/casino, but this once struggling property now has the backing of one of the most prestigious and well-respected hotel companies in the world.
The JW Marriott is located in Summerlin, a bedroom community just northwest of Las Vegas. They bill it as being 25-minutes from McCarran airport - which may be true at three o'clock in the morning when there is no traffic, but on a Monday afternoon it took me 45 minutes to get there fromThe Venetian.
This fact is noteworthy if you're planning on staying here and want to jaunt over to the Strip for an evening of entertainment. Allow extra time. The good news is that it is just off the Summerlin Parkway so you can get there mostly by freeway. As long as you don't go during peak travel times you should be fine.
Once you get there you are greeted by a rambling three-story building with Spanish Missionary architecture (think stucco, exposed wood, iron railings, arches, tile, etc.). It really is one of the most beautiful hotels in the entire city, with lush landscaping and a peaceful quality that is definitely missing from properties in the heart of The Strip.
