The New Frontier

The New Frontier has been operating continually since October 30, 1942. It was the second resort that opened on the Las Vegas Strip.

The great balloon experience at New Frontier in Las Vegas is definitely worth a look. It is the world's largest tethered helium balloon, it rises to 400 ft with up to 20 passengers for a 15-10 min ride. It offers a stunning view of Vegas and is great for photos. The balloon does not operate during inclement weather.

History

The property started as a nightclub called "Pair O’Dice" that opened in 1930. It was subsequently rebuilt and renamed the "Hotel Last Frontier" in 1942. On April 4, 1955, it was renamed the "New Frontier," following a modernization of the resort.

The resort has the distinction of hosting Elvis Presley's first Vegas appearance in 1956, and the final performance of Diana Ross & The Supremes on January 14, 1970.

Since part of the old building still exists, some call the New Frontier the oldest remaining Strip hotel and casino.

"I love the New Frontier it is a mixture of old and new. Tower rooms are fabulous, quiet, clean and fantastic views. Staff always nice, and the Casino area is super fun. The location couldn't be better and the Buffet dining area is marvellous."

"We have stayed at the New Frontier two times now. We love it there because there are no big crowds or lines. The Gillys Bar and restaurant is our favorite. They have live bands and a mechanical bull. It may not be the most fancy hotel on the strip, but for the cheap price who can beat it. The rooms are nice and so is the atmosphere."

Check in was quick, easy and friendly. Upon exiting the elevator on the 6th floor, we were greeted with a stale, dirty sweat sock odor. The room was very clean. One was told by a pit boss that his room would be taken care of. But I guess he did not mean this visit since the room was only reduced in price and not comped."
