The video-installation-like messages that flash on the façades of Resorts World Las Vegas’ bold red towers — one of which is the world’s largest LED building displays — hint that art plays a role at this property. But you’ll see it even more at Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World. In the lobby, artist Marlies Plank’s pink elephants surreally float in bubbles behind the front desk. Colorful, glowing multifaceted orbs from SOFTlab hover over the concierge desk.
Nearby, David Spriggs’ Holos sculpture of acrylic on layered plexiglass in an LED-lit plexiglass display case looks like an illusion. Around the corner, a 1913 Nickelodeon piano covered in mirrored tiles — outfitted with a xylophone, lights and an automatic player option — belonged to Liberace, who famously had a residency at the Hilton. The unusual instrument serves as a reminder of the hotel brand’s role in making Las Vegas the entertainment capital it is today.
More eye-catching art — many of it in vibrant shades of red and orange — adorns the walls of the accommodations in the 1,496-room property, the largest Conrad in the world.
Of course, there’s much to see beyond art at Resorts World, which also is home to Crockfords Las Vegas, LXR Hotels & Resorts and Las Vegas Hilton. Choose among 40 dining and drinking spots, peruse two stories of shops (like Fred Segal and Hervé Léger) in The District, see superstar acts in the 5,000-person theater or win big in the casino.
