Engadget • • business
Key Points:
- Six years after announcing plans for Atari Hotels in eight US cities, only the Phoenix location is actively moving forward, with Las Vegas and other cities no longer progressing.
- The Las Vegas project "didn't come to fruition," and the company is currently focusing on developing the Phoenix site as its primary location.
- Originally planned to start construction in 2020, the Phoenix hotel faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with groundbreaking now expected late this year and an opening projected for 2028.
- Atari Hotels is still seeking $35 million to $40 million in funding to develop the Phoenix location into a "playable destination" for gamers.
- Other planned locations, including Denver, remain under separate development and licensing discussions
