High Rise Casino Tower May Soon Rise in Vegas
A casino development plan has won the initial approval of Clark County planning officials this week and a 600-room high rise tower may very well be on the way to replacing the Beach nightclub on Paradise road.
The property would be situated in the relatively modest 1.25-acre site, boasting hotel rooms and condominiums for home shoppers. The casino complex is at present yet unnamed, but the team behind the project says that the multi-faceted project would be mixing traditional Las Vegas gaming resort design with the valley's "Manhattanization" housing trend.
"It'll be a true hotel with 300 rooms rented by the night and 300 resort condominiums," said the land-use consultant working on the project for Three Sixty Five Greg Borgel, the partnership group that owns The Beach nightclub.
Three Sixty Five principal Rick Tuttle and his partners also have in their sights a 20,000-square-foot casino and an 18,000-square-foot restaurant and lounge area in the 39-story building.
"That's the new style," Borgel said. "Up instead of out and big projects on small pads."
On Monday, the Clark County Planning Commission unanimously approved lifting a height restriction to allow the proposed tower's 490-foot height, however county commissioners must still sign off on the project in August.
