June 29–The $4 billion Resorts World Las Vegas project made a big splash in May when a ceremonial groundbreaking ushered in what, upon completion, would be the Strip’s biggest development in years.

But the Resorts World site, formerly home to the Stardust and the scrapped Echelon project, isn’t the only spot in the heart of Southern Nevada’s tourism corridor that could be developed over the next couple of years.

In several areas on the Strip and within close proximity to it, opportunities exist for new casinos or other big buildings to pop up. Some developers are pressing forward with major plans, although several projects remain shrouded in mystery.

Real estate broker Michael Parks of CBRE Group described the environment for development on the Strip as positive but controlled. He drew a strong contrast between what’s happening today and the situation before the financial downturn.

“We’re not seeing a new potential project be announced every other week like we were at the peak of the market when there was always a new condo project or resort project going up,” Parks said. “I think the banks are just being more cautious on which projects they’re going to provide financing for. But we are seeing an increased level of interest in companies wanting to put a stake in Las Vegas.”

Here’s a look at some of the remaining development opportunities on and around the Strip.

1. Project Jackpot — 18 acres

Located just south of Harmon Avenue on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard, “Project Jackpot” includes a Walgreens, Travelodge motel and Harley-Davidson Cafe. And it’s for sale.

The previous ownership of the site, which once was supposed to house an Elvis-themed resort, went bankrupt a few years ago, and a group spearheaded by Spectrum Group Management took control of it. The group has put the property on the market after receiving unsolicited offers from multiple potential buyers.

The site could become a mixed-use development with a combination of retail, hotel, and maybe timeshare, residential and casino buildings.

2. Harmon Hotel Tower — .97 acres

The southwest corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Harmon Avenue, a prime spot on the Strip, has for years been fraught with complications.

The Harmon hotel should have opened there as part of the CityCenter complex developed by MGM Resorts International and Dubai World. But work on the building stopped in 2008 when construction defects surfaced, indicating that the steel used in the initial 26 stories wouldn’t support the rest of the building.

Workers began to dismantle the building last summer, and in December, MGM Resorts and general contractor Tutor Perini Corp. reached a settlement that prevented a lengthy trial about the tower’s problems.

Now, MGM Resorts needs to figure out what to do with the site. CEO Jim Murren said his company felt it was inappropriate to plan for the site’s future until after the litigation was resolved. Now that it is, MGM is considering its options.

“We know, conceptually, the kinds of things that would be effective there,” Murren said. “It’s my guess that we’ll go back to the CityCenter board by the end of this year to talk in more tangible ways about what to do there.”

3. Las Ramblas Area — 60 acres

In 2005, actor George Clooney was involved with a group that planned to build a large, mixed-use project called Las Ramblas — named after the famous street La Rambla in Barcelona — at Harmon Avenue between Koval Lane and Paradise Road. The group ended up scrapping the project and selling it to the developer of an adjacent site, and it was combined with yet another piece of land. The new ownership defaulted, though, and the site is back on the market after making its way through the foreclosure process.

CBRE Group is brokering the sale of the now-60-acre site.

“You got a blank canvas there where a developer can come in and incorporate a number of uses,” Parks said. “Sixty acres is a large piece of property, and while it could support another megaresort, it’s probably more likely that someone comes in and develops other uses, as opposed to just one big resort on the site.”

4. New Frontier — 35 acres

Once home to one of Las Vegas’ famous old resorts, this site has sat empty since November 2007. That’s when the New Frontier was imploded to make room for a planned replica of the Plaza Hotel in New York.

The El-Ad Group had purchased the site for $1.2 billion, but its Plaza dreams crashed amid the financial downturn.

Last year, a group including Australian casino company Crown Resorts bought the site and announced plans to build a resort. Few other details have yet to be revealed.

5. Riviera — 26 acres

After six decades in operation on the north Strip, the Riviera hotel closed May 4. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority bought the aging property for $182.5 million with plans to replace it with convention space. The resort eventually will be demolished or imploded, but the authority hasn’t disclosed a timeline for when the Riviera will come down.

6. Fontainebleau — 24 acres

Construction topped out on the tower of the planned Fontainebleau resort in 2008, but it was never completed because of the financial crisis.

Billionaire and activist investor Carl Icahn bought the property out of bankruptcy in 2010 but hasn’t done anything with it.

7. Jackie Robinson’s arena — 27 acres

In late 2013, former UNLV basketball and NBA player Jackie Robinson announced plans to build a privately funded, $1 billion-plus resort and arena, and later revealed plans to lure an NBA franchise to play there. A ceremonial groundbreaking for the project took place last fall, next to SLS Las Vegas.

Since then, no visible progress has been made, although project spokesman Denny Weddle said construction could start soon, once financing is wrapped up.

8. Lucky Dragon — 2.5 acres

Not far from where Genting Group is building the massive Resorts World, another project with an Asian theme is taking shape. Only this one, on Sahara Avenue just west of Las Vegas Boulevard, is much smaller.

Called Lucky Dragon, the project showed signs of life recently when visible construction work began for the approximately 200-room boutique hotel. It’s unclear when it will open.
