Newport Beach, CA May 17, 1999 Insignia/ESG
Hotel Partners is pleased to announce the sale of the 795-room Maxim Hotel
& Casino in Las Vegas, NV. The property was sold by West Coast
Mortgage Limited Partnership to Premier Interval Resorts, Inc. for an undisclosed
price. The team of Jack Carr and Harry Pflueger of the Newport Beach
office of Insignia/ESG Hotel Partners represented the seller in this transaction.
The Maxim is located two blocks east of the premier Flamingo Road/Strip intersection. According to Pflueger, "The Maxim's location so close to the new mega-developments on the Strip was a primary selling point. The strong comeback of tourism in Las Vegas this year helped move the deal to completion." The Maxim offers over 38,000 square feet of casino space and extensive food, beverage and recreational facilities. After Premier Interval completes its renovation of a portion of the hotel rooms to timeshare units, the Maxim will be the first timeshare property in Las Vegas that offers an on-site casino. Carr comments, "The conversion of this hotel to timeshare represents a trend we are seeing emerge in the Las Vegas market. Traditional hotels find it difficult to compete with the mega-resort properties, and search for an alternative use." Insignia/ESG Hotel Partners has extensive experience in selling gaming properties. The Maxim is one of three major Las Vegas assignments currently being handled by the firm's gaming practice.
