The Nevada was built on Long Sands Beach in the same century Elvis had his first breakout hit, “Heartbreak Hotel.” Seventy years later, we broke ground on a full restoration of the place — transforming it from a ‘motor motel’ into a modern hotel, while preserving the original design and good vibes.

 Teal green sustainability

As a beachfront property, we're committed to fighting the climate crisis. We raised the original 1950s motel building 3.5 feet out of the current flood zone as part of our restoration, and we donate a portion of each stay to evidence-backed projects fighting the climate crisis.
More efficient heating-cooling pumps and on-demand hot water systems
We recycle with Clean The World + clean with Green Llama products
