New concept art from Atari has given us a peek at one of the establishments in its future line of video game -themed hotels. From the images, it looks like it could have some influences from Blade Runner and Tron. It's also possible this could be one of the first hotels planned for Las Vegas or Phoenix.

Atari's hotel line is meant to reflect the history and future of video games . The video game company teamed up with architecture and design firm Gensler to bring this pop culture project to life.
