Just when you thought Las Vegas couldn’t get any more innovative, a new player is about to change the hospitality game entirely. The Otonomus Hotel, set to open this summer, promises to be the world’s first fully AI-powered hotel—and it’s happening right here in our backyard.
The Basics: What, Where, and When
Located just off the Strip near Allegiant Stadium at West Russell Road and South Decatur Boulevard, the Otonomus Hotel isn’t trying to compete with the mega-resorts on Las Vegas Boulevard. Instead, it’s carving out its own niche as a tech pioneer with 303 luxury suites starting at a spacious 856 square feet each.
Mark your calendars for July 2025, when the hotel officially opens its doors following a soft launch in May. Reservations opened on March 3rd, with nightly rates beginning at $325. For those looking to extend their stay, monthly rental options are also available.

Beyond the Room Key: How AI Powers Your Stay
Forget everything you know about hotel check-ins and room service. At Otonomus, your smartphone becomes your command center through an app called KEE.
Before you even arrive, the system begins building your “digital avatar”—a profile that remembers how you like your coffee, what temperature you prefer your room, and even when you like to wake up. Check-in using your phone, and by the time you reach your door, the room will already be adjusted to your preferences.
Order food or other items, and they’ll be delivered by a robot butler to a secure in-room box—no need to be present or tip anyone. Room cleaning happens by appointment only rather than on a fixed schedule, giving you complete control over when service staff enters your space.
The more you stay, the more the system learns about you, continuously refining your experience with each visit.
FIRO: The AI Tetris of Room Bookings
Behind the scenes, another AI system called FIRO manages the hotel’s room configurations with surprising flexibility. Need a single room today but want to add connecting rooms when friends join tomorrow? The system can reconfigure spaces from one to six bedrooms, adjusting pricing dynamically based on demand.
It’s less about static hotel rooms and more about spaces that adapt to your changing needs—something between a traditional hotel and the flexibility of vacation rentals, but with AI handling the logistics.
Not All Robots: The Human Touch Remains
Despite all the tech wizardry, Otonomus hasn’t forgotten the importance of human connection. Human staff will still be present throughout the property, and guests can opt out of AI features if they prefer a more traditional experience.
The culinary offerings maintain that human touch with two signature restaurants: a Lebanese concept by “Top Chef” winner Charbel Hayek and an American-Italian eatery. For evening entertainment, a speakeasy lounge offers views of the Strip while you sip your favorite cocktail (which, yes, the AI will remember for your next visit).
Poolside and Plugged In
When it’s time to relax, choose between two pools—one family-friendly and one adults-only. And for the environmentally conscious Vegas visitor, the property features Tesla Superchargers and other EV charging options.
Privacy in the Age of AI
The elephant in the room: how much data are you comfortable sharing for that perfect stay? While the AI system can pull from publicly available information like social media (with your consent), the hotel stresses that guests control their privacy settings and can limit what information they share.
Looking Ahead: A New Vegas Prototype
Growth Holdings, the developer behind Otonomus, isn’t stopping with one location. If successful, the concept could expand to luxury destinations like Tulum and Dubai, with additional Las Vegas locations potentially coming to downtown or Henderson.
Will this AI-powered approach represent the future of hospitality, or will it be remembered as an ambitious experiment? Either way, Las Vegas once again finds itself at the forefront of innovation, blending cutting-edge technology with our city’s world-famous hospitality in ways we’ve only seen in science fiction—until now.
