Owned by American Casino and Entertainment Properties (ACEP), both the Stratosphere and the Aquarius Casino Resort will join Best Western’s expanding soft brand, BW Premier Collection, which launched in 2015.
“We were searching for the right soft brand to align with, and it was immediately clear that Best Western Hotels & Resorts shares our commitment to delivering a unique and exceptional travel experience at a great value,” says ACEP CEO Frank Riolo. “Not only that, we will have access to Best Western’s second-to-none brand support, online platforms and loyalty program, while our properties maintain their iconic identities in both Las Vegas and Laughlin.”
The Stratosphere serves as the tallest structure in Las Vegas, rising 1,149 feet above the ground and includes the world-famous observation deck, which offers 360-degree views of the Vegas strip and surrounding desert scene, while the Aquarius Casino Resort is the largest resort in Laughlin, Nevada with 1,906 rooms and suites and a 57,000-square-foot casino.
