Clarion Hotel and Casino was located near the Las Vegas Strip in Winchester, Nevada. It included a 12-story hotel with approximately 200 rooms, and a small casino. The property opened as a Royal Inn on April 19, 1970. It was renamed Royal Americana in 1980, and then Paddlewheel in 1983.
Actress Debbie Reynolds purchased the property in 1992, and renamed it a year later as the Debbie Reynolds Hotel. The renovated property included a museum featuring Reynolds' collection of Hollywood memorabilia. The hotel struggled financially, entering bankruptcy in 1997. It was sold a year later to the World Wrestling Federation, which planned to demolish the hotel and build a wrestling themed resort on the land. The project was ultimately canceled, and ownership would change several more times. Following another renovation, the property operated as the Greek Isles from 2001 to 2010, and then under the Clarion brand until its closure on September 1, 2014.
Developer Lorenzo Doumani bought the hotel-casino a month after its closure, and had it demolished for redevelopment. The hotel tower was imploded on February 10, 2015. Four years later, Doumani unveiled plans to build a high-rise hotel, Majestic Las Vegas, on the site. However, the start of construction has been delayed several times as of 2024.
