A new Element hotel quietly slipped into Town Square this spring, giving Las Vegas visitors an extended-stay option just south of the Strip without the casino chaos. The five-story, 118-room Element Las Vegas Airport comes with kitchenettes, an outdoor pool and a smoke-free environment aimed at business travelers and guests looking for a calmer base. The property sits on the northwest corner of the shopping complex near the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sunset Road.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Element Las Vegas Airport opened this past spring and was developed by North Dakota hotel magnate Gary Tharaldson’s namesake firm. According to Las Vegas Review-Journal, the hotel stacks 118 rooms across five stories, and Shaun Vincenti, regional director of operations for Tharaldson Hospitality Management, said the rooms include kitchenettes and sit within walking distance of Town Square's restaurants and shops.
What guests will find
According to the hotel's Marriott listing, Element Las Vegas Airport offers studio and one-bedroom suites with fully equipped kitchens, a complimentary Rise breakfast, a 24-hour fitness center and an outdoor pool. The same Marriott page highlights amenities such as EV charging and free Wi-Fi, underscoring the property's extended-stay focus and appeal to longer-term guests. Marriott provides full property details along with rates and booking information.
Developer's Las Vegas footprint
Tharaldson Hospitality Management developed the Town Square hotel and notes a long history of building and operating mid-scale hotels. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Element is the ninth Las Vegas property Tharaldson has built since 2016, and industry reporting shows Whitehall, a real estate fund tied to Goldman Sachs, bought a large Tharaldson portfolio in 2006 for roughly $1.2 billion. Tharaldson Hospitality Management, the Review-Journal and HospitalityNet provide background on the company’s portfolio and deals.
Where it fits in Town Square
Town Square's directory now lists Element among the center's hotels and amenities, reflecting the complex's mix of retail, dining and family attractions. The center and local outlets have begun tying the hotel into nearby entertainment; for example, Dinosaur Outpost announced a partnership naming Element its official host hotel, signaling a push to capture visiting families as well as business travelers. Town Square Las Vegas and Nevada Business covered the local tie-ins.
Practical details
Marriott lists the property's address as 6575 Las Vegas Blvd. South and provides a phone number and booking page for reservations. The chain's listing and travel sites note that the hotel is smoke-free, offers free breakfast and includes kitchenettes in many rooms, making it a distinct non-casino option south of the Strip.
