Editorial Review

A true boutique hotel designed to appeal to the intellectual, culturally-minded traveler: the last kind of people you’d expect in Vegas. Located less than five minutes from the Strip, boldly and creatively decorated with black walls, eclectic antique-style furniture, and reproductions of fine art. Small pool is done as a jungle oasis, with cabanas, loungers, and sound system. Dining room serves Mediterranean/New American cuisine and is done up Fellini-esque in black leather and leopard print with touches of red. Rooms are large and carry through the hotel's unusual and distinctive style--each one dedicated to a different artist. Don’t look for a casino: The Artisan is gaming-free.
