Six years after the announcement of plans to construct Atari Inns in eight cities throughout the US, together with Las Vegas, just one now appears to be shifting ahead, in Phoenix, Arizona. The Las Vegas deal in the end “did not come to fruition,” spokesperson Sara Collins instructed Las Vegas Solar this week, and Atari Inns is placing its focus into the Phoenix website “in the intervening time.”
Phoenix was all the time meant to be the primary website, adopted by different inns in Austin, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, San Francisco, San Jose and Seattle. However Las Vegas is now apparently off the desk, and there have not been any indicators of life across the different deliberate areas. The FAQ on the Atari Inns web site notes, “Extra websites, together with Denver, are being explored below separate growth and licensing agreements.” The Atari Lodge undertaking was introduced in 2020 simply earlier than the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and consequently skilled growth delays. Development on the Phoenix lodge, which was supposed to interrupt floor in 2020, is predicted to start late this 12 months, with its opening now deliberate for 2028.
However perhaps do not maintain your breath. In line with a December press launch, the corporate remains to be making an attempt to lift $35 million to $40 million to fund the “playable vacation spot” for avid gamers in Phoenix.
