GSD Group and Gensler have revealed their concept art for the upcoming Atari Hotels that are set to open in Las Vegas, Nevada and Phoenix, Arizona, and they look like something pulled out off a Cyberpunk-style future.
The Atari Hotels are meant to be pop culture and video game-inspired, and GSD Group also has plans to have more locations in Austin, Chicago, Denver, San Fransisco, San Joe, and Seattle in the future.

Atari, known for such classic as Asteroids, Centipede, and PONG, is looking to offer "guests a wholly unique hospitality experience inspired by, and built with, classic and modern video game culture in mind" with these new hotels.
Atari Hotels, which were announced earlier this year, will allow guests to "enjoy the latest in video games, experience cutting-edge immersive entertainment, purchase exclusive Atari Hotels merchandise, and play the night away in retro-style gaming arcades."
There will also be a speakeasy and nightclub, themed restaurants and bars, and much more.

“I have seen the vision that GSD Group has for Atari Hotels, and they are poised to shatter the perception of what hotels can be,” said Fred Chesnais, CEO of Atari®. “Atari Hotels will create a world that caters to gamers of all ages and experience levels, giving them a place to call home — a groundbreaking experience that shares Atari’s legacy of innovation.”
