{NCR} New casino for West Las Vegas?

The following is a copy and paste from the Las Vegas Advisor for April 6 about the Harlem Nights casino on "at the once-vibrant corner of Jackson Avenue and F Street".

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports this morning that a $700 million 60-story hotel-casino has been proposed for a two-acre site in the Historic Westside district at the once-vibrant corner of Jackson Avenue and F Street; the location was previously occupied by a small neighborhood bar and slot joint, Town Tavern, which opened in 1955 and changed names over the years to New Town Tavern and Ultra New Town Tavern. In 2016, a sign was installed naming it Tokyo Casino, based on a Japanese developer's $2 billion plan for a 400-room hotel-casino and 2,000-seat performing-arts center, which was denied by the Gaming Control Board. The Harlem Nights proposal calls for a 687-foot-tall hotel with 764 hotel rooms and 458 residential units, a casino, rooftop restaurant and bar, 900-seat theater, and retail shops. The Beverly Hills-based developer owns the lot and is looking, like the Japanese's plan, to connect the area to the tourist corridor. The first hurdle will be to overcome the height restriction; the proposed property is only 53 stories beyond it. The Las Vegas Planning Commission will consider the proposal next Tuesday.
