The Plaza Hotel at 226-230 North Plaza was built in 1882. When the railroad came to Las Vegas the business leaders had a desire to have a fine hotel, a consortium was formed called the Las Vegas Hotel and Improvement Company headed by Begnigno Romero. This consortium built the hotel. The hotel is a three story brick building with sandstone ornamentation. The building has a pressed metal cornice. In recent years the hotel has been rehabilitated and restored which led to a restoration movement in Old Town Las Vegas with many other buildings restored and rehabilitated.
