Earlier this year, SBE Entertainment said the SLS Las Vegas would become part of the Preferred Hotels &Resorts guest loyalty program, which includes 450 independently-owned hotels and resorts.
On Monday, the SBE said SLS Las Vegas would be affiliated with a new independent hotel collection through
Hilton Worldwide, allowing the property to tap into the Hilton HHonors customer loyalty program, which has 40 million members
SBE CEO Sam Nazarian called the deal with Hilton “an important relationship” for SLS Las Vegas.
“(It) allows us to maintain the SLS brand identity while offering the benefits of Hilton Worldwide’s commercial engines and the strength of the Hilton HHonors loyalty program,” Nazarian said.
SLS Las Vegas will dwarf the size of other SBE-operated hotels. SLS hotels in Beverley Hills, Calif., and in Miami’s South Beach area each has around 200 rooms.
The SLS New York, another 200-room property, is scheduled to open in 2015. Other SLS hotels are planned for Philadelphia, Seattle, the Miami neighborhood of Brickell, and China.

This is great news and this property has been redeveloped from top to bottom from the former Sahara. For those visiting LAS this should be welcome news, as this hotel has a stop for the LV monorail. (I know the monorail has had money problems, but from this location it works to get to the convention center all the way to the MGM Grand, with stops all along the Strip).

Perhaps now Hilton can dump the Tropicana.
This sounds like it is going be a nice property. It opens in August.
