Allegiant Air is flying into the hotel business

Allegiant Air is flying into the hotel business.

The Las Vegas budget carrier plans to build a beachfront resort in western Florida.

It includes a hotel, nine condominium towers and a marina spanning 22 acres.

Construction is expected to start by mid-2018 on the Sunseeker Resort.

Allegiant’s president, John Redmond, is a former Las Vegas hotel executive.

The resort is set to open by early 2020.

It will cost up to $600,000 to build in Port Charlotte, a small town near the Gulf of Mexico.
