The famous Stratosphere Casino Hotel and Tower and the Aquarius Casino Resort have joined the Best Western Hotels & Resorts portfolio.
Both properties, owned by American Casino and Entertainment Properties, are now part of the BW Premier Collection, the upscale Best Western brand introduced in 2015.
“This is a thrilling moment for Best Western Hotels & Resorts,” said Ron Pohl, senior vice president and chief operating officer. “These two destinations expand our offerings with unforgettable experiences — from iconic skyline views and exciting gaming to world-class dining and live entertainment. Whether guests seek high-energy attractions or a memorable stay, these hotels deliver.”
The Stratosphere, which opened in 1996, remains the tallest structure on the Las Vegas skyline at 1,149 feet. It is the tallest observation tower in the United States and provides 360-degree views of the Strip. The property is known for its adrenaline-pumping attractions, including the Big Shot!, Insanity and X-Scream rides, as well as its top-deck dining, live entertainment, shopping and two rooftop swimming pools.
Located in Laughlin, Nevada, the Aquarius Casino Resort delivers a large-scale resort experience. The property features 1,906 suites, a 57,000-square-foot casino, multiple restaurants and a full schedule of entertainment, making it one of the most feature-rich gaming resorts in the city.
Both additions to the BW Premier Collection strengthen Best Western’s presence in Nevada and enhance its roster of distinctive, experience-driven properties for leisure and gaming travelers.
