Artisan Hotel To Become “The Lexi” – Las Vegas’ Weed Friendly Hotel

It’s an idea so smart, you wonder what they were on when they came up with it. Artisan Hotel Boutique at Sahara Avenue and Interstate 15 just announced they are rebrand to The Lexi, the first Las Vegas weed friendly hotel.

Plastered in black light posters of Bob Marley? No not quite. The property, owned by Elevations Hotels And Resorts, is undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation. Come this spring, the property will rebrand and become the first cannabis-friendly hotel in the city.

If you’ve walked down the Las Vegas Strip, you know that not everyone has received the memo that they can’t smoke in their room. Properties like Resorts World charge $750 for a room cleaning fee if it smells skunky. Suites? Try a $1500 fee.

The Lexi will be different, featuring a marijuana friendly 4th floor for anyone looking to light up.

This could leave guests feeling a bit hungry. Executive Chef Jordan Savell, who was featured on Hell’s Kitchen in 2021, will head a new “Cajun-inspired steakhouse” introduced by The Lexi.

The Artisan has been an underdog…

The property has always been in a bit of a step child situation given it’s location close to, but not quite at, the Las Vegas Strip. Signs often adorned the property encouraging people to rent the entire property. Now new ownership is pushing the property forward. They’ve already turned The Clarendon Hotel in Phoenix into a cannabis positive property, this is their next challenge.

Nevada’s marijuana policy has been a bit off (imagine alcohol is legal, but it’s not legal to drink it anywhere), so this could be a huge hit. Whatever you choose to do, do it responsibly and now avoid the cleaning fee at other properties. $1500?! We don’t want that smoke.

Here’s What You Missed On Aimee+Shawn This Week

What an exhausting week! For the first time in nearly a month, they expected Aimee+Shawn to actually work five days in a row. What kind of sweat shop is this?!

Well, no use complaining… it was a fun week of shows!

Aimee had to do a full blown interrogation of her youngest son Roman. Turns out Roman dropped a big fat f-bomb, which is a no-no at only 3 years old. Where would he learn such language? Could it be from hanging around his older brother Jayden who plays Call Of Duty? No. It couldn’t be.

Meanwhile Shawn has his own hands full on the parenting side of things. His sons Colin (6) and Mario (4) are playing a little too rough and more often than not, it’s Mario that gets creamed. This time, Mario has blood pouring from his mouth. Was Colin sad he hurt his brother? A little, but he was more sad he couldn’t see the blood!

Have you ever calculated the amount of time you spend doing the most innocuous, repetitive things? Say, getting ready in the morning? We did the math and when you realize it eats up over three weeks of your year… just getting ready… it’s maddening!

Aimee decided to leave her hair up to TikTok. She watched a video about the do it yourself “butterfly cut” and decided to try it for herself so you don’t have to. But you might want to!

Shawn’s friend moved back to Vegas after leaving for a few years. Shawn made the move away and back before too. Why is it that most everyone that moves away from Vegas finds their way back to the valley?!

Then on Friday the 13th, we welcomed LoriAnn Mans from The Palms’ “Brunched By An Angel” to get a grip on our, and our listeners futures and perhaps talk to people from our past!

The show is back on Tuesday with more shows! Have a great weekend!
