Las Vegas May Be Home To New ‘Harlem Nights’ Themed Resort
A developer out of Beverly Hills, California is pitching the idea for a new resort in Las Vegas.
Shlomo Meiri owns almost 2 acres of land on the corner of F Street and Jackson Avenue, the LVRJ reported. That’s in the historic westside of Las Vegas. About two miles northwest of Fremont Street Experience.
Currently, there’s not much happening on that intersection, or anywhere near it. There’s the old boarded up Tokyo Casino on that corner. An Annie’s kitchen, a handful of churches and a few apartment complexes are within a few squares miles. Beyond that, it’s pretty empty.
But it sounds like that’s exactly why this new developer wants to start a new project.
Meiri thinks this could be a thriving new tourist mecca. And he’s hoping that his new project will inspire others to follow suit and help develop the area. If he is successful in his mission, this could be the catalyst for a neighborhood that provides a lot of jobs to its residents in the same area.
Meiri‘s project, if it’s approved by the Las Vegas Planning Commission next week, will be a 60-story resort called “Harlem Nights”.
The specifics of the project include a 687-foot-tall tower that includes 764 hotel rooms. There will also be 458 residential units. Presumably for the employees of the new resort. Meiri is also planning a casino, 900-seat theater, a restaurant and retail shops. A bar on the top floor is also in the projected plans.
Meiri said the project was inspired by the 1989 Harlem Nights movie that starred Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy. And that it will be themed after New York City’s Harlem neighborhood in Upper Manhattan. Specifically that area in the 1920’s and 1930’s. (reviewjournal.com).
The project will be reviewed by the Planning Commission next Tuesday. But there are a lot of hurdles to get over. Most notably a zoning change in that area. Currently it is only zoned for a seven-story building. But the final vote goes to the Las Vegas City Council. So the project will move forward even if it’s not approved by the Planning Commission.
It’s anticipated it will take about six years to complete.
