One of many few belongings you would count on to come across on a visit to Las Vegas is getting in bother for smoking weed. Not solely is cannabis authorized within the state of Nevada, however come on, it’s Vegas, there are means crazier issues occurring on the market. However sadly, that’s precisely what occurs to many guests who select to toke of their lodge rooms or out in public. So, with authorized smoking choices restricted to “personal property”, and since so few designated consumption lounges exist, what’s a traveler to do once they wish to unwind with somewhat little bit of 420 in sin metropolis?
The demand for house to smoke is rising quick, and an off-strip property named The Lexi is answering the decision. Their CEO simply introduced on Tuesday that they are going to be remodeling their latest location into Vegas’ very first, cannabis-friendly lodge.
Smoking in Sin Metropolis
As talked about briefly above, the authorized smoking scene in Vegas is fairly abysmal. You’re not allowed to smoke cannabis on the strip or wherever else public, though many individuals do it anyway, even earlier than it was authorized individuals have been smoking out within the open on the strip; and you may’t smoke weed in lodge rooms both. Many individuals will simply get a room that enables for cigarette smoking and smoke weed in there however technically, it’s nonetheless prohibited and a few lodges particularly warn towards weed on the premises since they’re required to stick to federal legislation. And clearly, you possibly can’t smoke within the automotive or whilst you’re driving, in order that leaves one in all a handful of small, off-strip dispensaries with smoking lounges, a good friend’s home if you happen to’re fortunate sufficient to know somebody within the space, or nothing in any respect.

Once more, lots of people select to interrupt the foundations and smoke wherever they really feel like. It’s sin metropolis in spite of everything, and the vibe there’s actually “something goes”. However because it’s unlawful to smoke in public, you’re doing so at your personal danger. And as a lot as I stand by the concept ridiculous guidelines are supposed to be damaged, it will be actually disagreeable to be fined for smoking weed whilst you’re on a trip, in Vegas, of all locations.
Plans for the brand new property
As per the information launch, the Artisan Lodge Boutique, which is presently an adult-only, erotic-themed lodge, was bought by Elevations Resorts and Inns for $11.9 million and can endure a multi-million greenback renovation to transform it into The Lexi. The press launch acknowledged the property will embrace a “new 64-room lodge idea that would be the first in Las Vegas to introduce the concept of cannabis-friendly hospitality.” All of the visitor rooms can be renovated, in addition to the foyer and different companies inside the lodge.
Your entire fourth ground can be designated as “cannabis-friendly”, and can be retrofitted with a “state-of-the-art RestorAir filtration system that employs superior oxidation cell expertise,” lodge officers stated. Moreover, the property will replace the onsite restaurant to a Cajun-inspired steakhouse that can be managed by Chef Jordan Savell who has labored at quite a few high-end eating places and likewise participated in season 19 of Hell’s Kitchen. The Lexi may also provide reside music, a water function, a walk-up cafe for breakfast, cocktail service and late-night snacks (there’s a heavy emphasis on meals for us stoners). The Lexi pool may also get a facelift with a European-style, summer time pool social gathering theme.
“The Lexi permits the Elevations Inns and Resorts model to really showcase our dedication to creating a brand new kind of lodge idea that’s outlined not solely by our acceptance and normalization of cannabis within the hospitality house, but in addition by our dedication to reclaim storied properties and rework them for the modern-day vacationers,” mentions Elevations CEO Alex Rizk. “With The Lexi our purpose is to offer friends with one thing actually new in Las Vegas.
