Now offering 1,003 new guest rooms, the casino packs 600 slots, a large bingo room, a sports book, and 18 table games into its 57,000 square feet. After all, this is the casino that featured prominently in such Hollywood blockbusters as “Casino,” “Pay It Forward,” “The Stand,” and the James Bond flick, “Diamonds Are Forever.”Upon opening in 1971, the Plaza Hotel & Casino boasted 500 rooms, the most of any hotel/casino in the world at the time.
The Plaza Las Vegas fully reopened in September 2011 to much local fanfare. Originally owned by a team led by gaming pioneer Sam Boyd, the property has undergone several transformations, most notably a $35 million renovation in 2010, but it has always stayed true to its quirky roots. Ready for a true Vintage Vegas experience complete with the perfect dash of upscale kitsch? Look no further than the Plaza Hotel & Casino in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas. Since the early 1970s, the Plaza Hotel Las Vegas, located at the western end of the Fremont Street Experience, has welcomed world-weary visitors, revelers, gamblers and those looking for an escape from the ordinary, all with their own unique take on what it means to visit Las Vegas.
