The Resort at Summerlin

:"Rampart Casino" and "JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort and Spa" redirect here.

The Resort at Summerlin opened in July 1999. The 50 acre (200,000 m²) resort was designed using a Tuscan/Tropical theme. Golf was a component of the project from the start as it acquired tee times at the adjacent Tournament Players Club course with direct access from the resort.

The hotel and spa is operated by JW Marriott and the casino is owned and operated by Cannery Casino Resorts which is owned by Millennium Management Group.

History

When the project first opened, it was not complete which helped bring on financial problems that the project would not be able to overcome. When Swiss Casinos of America, a company new to casinos, built the project, they spent over $270 million to create an exclusive resort. They may have succeeded in doing that, but apparently there was no market for this type of project in the area. After going through bankruptcy, it was purchased by Hotspur Casinos Nevada for $80 million producing a major loss for the initial investors.

It was first renamed The Regency and in 2002 the resort was renamed to The Rampart Casino and the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort and Spa with two owners working jointly to operate the resort now informally called "The Resort at Summerlin".
