ELEMENT hotel Las Vegas, Nevada is scheduled to open in October 2008. Inspired by Westin Hotels & Resorts, ELEMENT Las Vegas Summerlin will mark the beginning of construction with a "Ground Awakening" event on September 24, 2007. Summerlin's newest hotel will offer a one of a kind extended stay experience that combines smart design, nature-inspired, eco-friendly touches, and modern amenities. After a perfect night's sleep on the Westin brand's renowned Heavenly Bed(R), guests can guarantee that they will leave ELEMENT Las Vegas Summerlin knowing what it truly means to wake up and thrive.

The ELEMENT brand's unique smart design philosophy is evident from the moment guests arrive. After passing through a signature portal that provides a literal bridge to the ELEMENT interior haven, guests will be greeted with streams of natural light from a multi-storied window wall. The vitality of the lobby will be matched by the energy of the hotel's outdoor fire pit and barbecue, where a regular nightly gathering will give guests an opportunity to interact, while sipping a glass of wine or draft microbrew beer.

Located on the western edge of the Las Vegas Valley, Summerlin is one of the nation's fastest growing communities. Summerlin, also known as "America's community," is home to a growing array of exceptional dining, world class shopping, and unique cultural facilities that rank as some of the best in the Las Vegas Valley.

The smart design and clever use of space in the hotel's 123 guest rooms will be aimed at encouraging guest productivity while facilitating relaxation. ELEMENT Las Vegas Summerlin's open, modular flow will blend together each part of the guestroom to create a residential feel. Guests will also rest soundly in the Westin brand's renowned Heavenly Bed(R), and recharge each morning in a sleek, contemporary bathroom with an oversized spa shower.
