keeps the light

A 612-room resort and casino twenty-five minutes from the airport and a world away from the Strip. Five pools, nine kitchens, a room that faces the sunset on purpose, and a front desk that remembers your name by the second night.

What there is to do

A casino, and quite a lot of reasons to leave it

We built the gaming floor with windows, which nobody does, and then spent the rest of the budget on the things around it.

El Salón

The casino floor

68,000 square feet under a clerestory that lets in actual daylight — a decision that took some arguing. Around 900 slots, 42 table games, and a 12-table poker room that runs a daily tournament at noon.

More about El Salón
A dim, high-ceilinged games lounge with pool tables, banquette seating and warm overhead lighting.

02 / 06

Longshot Social

Sportsbook

A room designed for watching rather than standing. Tiered seating for 260, a 38-foot main wall, and 74 secondary screens, so the game you care about is always on one of them.

More about Longshot Social
A long turquoise swimming pool running between rows of tall palms.

Bajo Sol

Pool gardens

5 pools across 34 acres of planted desert garden, including an adults-only reflecting pool, a family pool with a shallow shelf, and a lap pool kept at 79°F year round.

Eat and drink

Nine kitchens. One of them never closes.

From a twenty-four hour diner to a rooftop that faces west on purpose. Six of them are ours; three are run by people we talked into moving here.
