Developers are in talks to purchase the Carson Nugget from the Adams family in a bid to give downtown Carson City a makeover.

If the unnamed developer should buy the Carson Nugget, it will be part of an overall redevelopment project that would include a hotel, convention center, retail spaces and a parking garage.

Carson Nugget officials have declined to release details regarding the developer’s specific plans or any price negotiations that have taken place, but the Adams family has detailed a dream to turn the Carson Nugget into a non-profit organization. Carson Nugget Chief Financial Officer Star Anderson told the Nevada Appeal that if the family’s wishes are granted, the casino will benefit Carson City’s charities.

A new owner would help to improve the Carson Nugget’s economic outlook. The casino laid off 22 workers last month.
