The LVCVA has signed off on the sale of ten acres of the site to Claudio Fischer. Claudia Fischer is an entrepreneur behind the Monticello casino resort near Santiago, Chile, and the Park Hyatt Mendoza hotel-casino in Argentina. He also owns Sun Dreams in Panama.
Fischer is paying $120 million for the land. He has to make a $3-million non-refundable deposit before the end of next June. If he needs more time, he can make another $6 million. The developer has been in the gaming industry since 2000. His company Sun Dreams is the largest resort-casino operator in Latin America. He will merge with Enjoy to become a majority owner of the combined operation.
