Clark County commissioners will weigh in
The board also will get a look at future developments on the Las Vegas Strip at 9 a.m. Wednesday, when members meet as the zoning commission.
[h=2][/h][h=2]Developments on and off the Strip[/h]The resort corridor along the Las Vegas Strip continues to rebound after the recession halted development there for several years.
Commissioners will get a look at two projects Wednesday that are contributing to the recovery and could add thousands of new hotel rooms to the area.
Las Vegas Lucky Investment plans to build a 30-story, 225,000-square-foot, resort hotel and casino at a site along Flamingo Road west of Paradise Road currently occupied by a Fortune Hotel & Suites.
Few details are currently available about the proposed 794-room project, which is still early in the development process and is seeking approval from the commission for a number of use permits, plan deviations and design reviews.
A planned mega-resort on the north end of the Strip is still a few years away from opening, but in the meantime its owners would like to build some anticipation with exhibits along Las Vegas Boulevard promoting the coming casino.
Representatives from Resorts World Las Vegas, which wants to build a $2 billion hotel and casino complex at the site of the failed Echelon resort, will ask the zoning commission Wednesday for permission to build two preview centers to promote the site.
The centers would be built first and then incorporated into the larger resort. In the meantime, the center would play host to costumed performers, whose jobs would be to build excitement about and announce coming events at the future resort.
The zoning application also requests approval to install landscaping and a temporary wall to screen construction activity at the site.
The first phase of Resorts World Las Vegas is expected to begin construction in 2014 and will include 3,500 hotel rooms plus space for dining, gaming, retail and conventions.
