Rumor, the chic new boutique resort hotel by The Siegel Group, has opened for business in Las Vegas. Rumor, across the street from the Hard Rock Hotel where Paradise meets Harmon and formerly the St. Tropez Hotel, is an 18-and-over resort with 150 suites, a unique courtyard with pool, wet deck and lawn framed by palm trees and a restaurant, Addiction, with chef Vic Vegas.

Vegas DeLuxe posted an extensive interview with The Siegel Group CEO and founder Stephen Siegel in June, as well as photos of the progress of Rumor last month.

“I felt it was time to completely change the Las Vegas paradigm,” Siegel said in a press release. “Without question, we have designed an entirely new hotel experience for Las Vegas locals and visitors. Sexy yet unpretentious, glamorous and accessible, eclectic with a relaxing and inviting ambiance are what Rumor’s look and feel are all about.”

Rumor’s Fantastic Four Suites are scheduled to open later this summer. Rumor is part of The Siegel Group’s Boutique Chic Retreats collection that includes The Artisan, The Resort on Mount Charleston and Oasis at Gold Spike. A grand opening celebration is scheduled for this weekend.
