Inside Las Vegas' First Cannabis-Friendly Hotel | Forbes

Показать описание

Located just off the Strip, The Lexi was once the Artisan Hotel, which became notorious among locals as a late-night hang out that hosted sex parties. But now the 64-room, adults-only Lexi has officially become Sin City’s first weed-friendly hotel.

“It's cannabis-inclusive, not cannabis-centric,” says Alexandre Rizk, the 44-year-old real estate entrepreneur who bought The Artisan for $12 million with a small group of investors in January 2022. The distinction is important for Rizk. The new boutique hotel will not sell cannabis, nor will non-consuming guests be bombarded with pot smoke.

The Lexi opened in early June after Rizk spent around $3 million on renovations, which includes a high-end air filtration system on the fourth floor—where all suites are cheekily numbered 420a, 420b, 420c—to accommodate the marijuana-friendly rooms. Only paying guests— a suite costs between $180 to $400 depending on the night—with rooms on that floor can consume cannabis. No smoking is allowed in public areas, including the bikini tops-optional swimming pool.

I understand how crazy and maybe unnecessary this sounds to locals but, for tourists, this is a great option.

It’s a great concept for those that want to smoke and curb the anxiety of possibly getting caught. However, you realistically can smoke just about anywhere and nobody will care as long as you mind your own busy and keep your distance from others. Also just a park up on a balcony of a hotel, parking garage/lot, etc.

As a Vegas Local I can assure you that people consume Cannabis in public all the time do not fall for this if you really want to get high in the city just smoke in the car if allowed by owner of car, or a parking lot people do it all the time here

Revolutionary. A Ganja bar/Dispensary for guests would make this an awesome hotel

I’ve literally walked out of the front door Caesar’s palace and stood on the side walk with my friends as we smoked about 4-5 joints and blunts on the spot while we waited for our Uber to the airport. Cop walked right by didn’t say a word.

We smoke in hotels and the streets in Texas(Personally anywhere I go), but its nice to know you don't have any Risk in his hotel, so its a cool concept but probably expensive
