Golden Entertainment has announced a partnership with Flite Golf to bring Atomic Range to the STRAT Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. Atomic Range is described as a 92,000-square-foot golf entertainment destination that “offers an immersive, technology-enhanced experience through game play and entertainment.” Atomic Range will occupy almost seven acres, and will be four stories tall, hosting 103 separate hitting bays. Other features of the installation include four bars, a meeting space, and a 12,000-square-foot Astrocade.
Flite Golf recently announced a strategic partnership with Century Golf Partners to provide turnkey technology and management to golf ranges and entertainment venues, and this new partnership looks to be furthering that goal. By leveraging its patented and proprietary technology platform, Flite offers a robust suite of technologies that power all aspects of a technology-enhanced golf facility.
The installation will be built on Las Vegas Boulevard, adjacent to the STRAT. Construction is expected break ground in Q2 2022 and expect to be complete by the end of 2023.
“Partnering with Flite Golf to develop Atomic Range will allow us to utilize our excess real estate adjacent to the STRAT to create a unique driver of visitation to our property that continues the redevelopment of the North Strip and investment in the City of Las Vegas,” said Charles Protell, President and Chief Financial Officer of Golden Entertainment. “Flite Golf’s development experience, innovative technology and substantial equity commitment to Atomic Range makes them the perfect partner to develop this attraction. We are excited to provide this new golf experience to our guests at the STRAT, as well as Downtown visitors, convention attendees, guests at North Strip properties and Las Vegas locals.”
The cost of construction is expected to reach $70 million, and the entire installation will create more than 500 new jobs.
“As we sought to bring our next-generation golf technology to the entertainment capital of the world, it was clear that Golden Entertainment and The STRAT offered a common vision and premier location to maximize visitation to Atomic Range from guests seeking a new and unique golf entertainment experience,” said John Vollbrecht, Chief Executive Officer and founder of Flite Golf & Entertainment.
