Las Vegas Officials Target Lady Luck

Las Vegas officials and Downtown businesses are uniting to encourage Lady Luck owner CIM Group to rectify the shuttered casino’s disrepair. The Lady Luck closed more than three years ago and was expected to reopen soon after, but continues to lay empty.

The area surrounding the casino is littered with garbage, and some of the property’s structures are what Mayor Oscar Goodman called “a carcass” at a recent City Council meeting.

Goodman advised city officials to investigate the property for possible building code infractions.

“CIM Group is still working through the process on the Lady Luck,” CIM Group said in a statement released to the Las Vegas Sun. “Market conditions obviously have changed and we’re continuing to advance our plans in this new economic climate. CIM Group and its neighbors around the Lady Luck have been in discussions regarding a joint effort to address the aesthetic of the general area. There are no changes in our business arrangements with the city on any of the properties.”
