Scheinthal said some of the closed buildings on the site have been cleared, but other buildings where tenants are operating businesses have not been vacated. In October, the Clark County Commission approved Fertitta’s plans.

“Tilman, at some point, can decide whether he wants to go forward or not.”įertitta, whose holdings include the Golden Nugget casino chain, said last year he intends to build a 43-story, 2,420-room hotel-casino on a plot at the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Harmon Avenue that he purchased for $270 million. “What we're doing is going through with our options and trying to understand what the development process would entail,” Scheinthal said. “It's very expensive to build right in an inflationary environment,” Steven Scheinthal, a vice president with Fertitta Entertainment, said in a brief interview with The Nevada Independent following an appearance in front of the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

A top executive for casino operator Tilman Fertitta said Wednesday no decision has been made on the future development of six acres on the Strip that the Texas billionaire acquired last year in anticipation of developing a hotel-casino.
