Las Vegas Advisor: New 43-story resort-casino coming to Las Vegas Strip

Permit applications are reportedly being filed for a resort slated for the Strip at Harmon Avenue across from CityCenter.

Preliminary plans for the resort owned by Tilman Fertitta call for a 43-story tower with a 2,400-room hotel, restaurants, convention space, a spa, a wedding chapel and a 2,500-seat theater. The Federal Aviation Commission has conducted a study that greenlights a height of up to 574 feet for the tower.

Though a timeline hasn’t been disclosed, the project would likely be completed in 2026.
