Developer Gets Go-Ahead For Strip Casino
Where a vacant building now stands on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue, Arizona developer Steven Johnson plans to build a casino with a 98-foot-tall video screen.
The former site of the Holy Cow! casino has lay dormant for seven years, but the Las Vegas Planning Commission recently approved Johnson’s plans.
Mayor Pro Tem Gary Reese, who represents that part of the city, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he doubts that a casino would be successful in that area. The Holy Cow! closed due to slow business.
Johnson will present his plans to the Las Vegas City Council on August 5 for approval.
