Atari is planning video game-themed hotels. Here's a first look and what we know

Atari is bringing its virtual experience to life with video game-themed hotels, and the first location will open in Phoenix. The first Atari Hotel is slated to break ground this year and open at an undetermined date. Atari Hotels also are planned for Las Vegas; Denver; Chicago; Seattle; San Francisco; Austin, Texas; and San Jose, California. The Phoenix hotel is still in its initial development stages, but the announcement holds a few hints as to what guests can expect. The hotel will offer "the ultimate in immersive entertainment and in every aspect of gaming," Shelly Murphy of GSD Group, one of the hotels' developers, said in a press release.
