New 43-story hotel in prime spot on Vegas Strip paused indefinitely
Briefly

A prime property on the Las Vegas Strip will remain unused for now, as billionaire Tilman Fertitta's plans for a 43-story casino are on hold due to a conflict of interest from his stake in Wynn Resorts. Fertitta purchased a 6.2-acre lot for $270 million, with plans for a hotel, wedding chapel, and theater, but the site has remained vacant. A spokesperson confirmed there will be no development while he retains ownership in Wynn. The current economic climate in Las Vegas also poses challenges for new construction.
