Inside Las Vegas' First Cannabis-Friendly Hotel | Forbes
Located just off the Strip, The Lexi was once the Artisan Hotel, which became notorious among locals as a late-night hang out that hosted sex parties. But now the 64-room, adults-only Lexi has officially become Sin City’s first weed-friendly hotel.
“It's cannabis-inclusive, not cannabis-centric,” says Alexandre Rizk, the 44-year-old real estate entrepreneur who bought The Artisan for $12 million with a small group of investors in January 2022. The distinction is important for Rizk. The new boutique hotel will not sell cannabis, nor will non-consuming guests be bombarded with pot smoke.
The Lexi opened in early June after Rizk spent around $3 million on renovations, which includes a high-end air filtration system on the fourth floor—where all suites are cheekily numbered 420a, 420b, 420c—to accommodate the marijuana-friendly rooms. Only paying guests— a suite costs between $180 to $400 depending on the night—with rooms on that floor can consume cannabis. No smoking is allowed in public areas, including the bikini tops-optional swimming pool.
