EASTSIDE — The Majestic plans to start construction in July on a luxury hotel with 720 suites and six restaurants situated around a piazza with fountains and live entertainment. The hotel, developed by Lorenzo Doumani, takes over the former Clarion site, also formerly the Debbie Reynolds Hotel, on Convention Center Drive, two blocks from the Strip and across from the expanded Las Vegas Convention Center. The resort will not have gaming and will be nonsmoking. The $850 million project on 6.1 acres plans to open in 2024. [TravelPulse]
