A developer is close to an agreement with both the City of North Las Vegas and the National Guard to build a hotel-casino next to the National Guard’s training area. The facility would have 1000 rooms in two 8-story towers.

Historically, a Vegas hotel-casino creates about 2 jobs per room within the facility itself, and a total of 5-7 jobs when including those created in the community.  That would include all the accountants, grocery store clerks, teachers, and other workers who will provide goods and services to the people working in and staying at the hotel itself.

In addition, this is frankly an area of town that could use some business development. North Las Vegas property values have traditionally lagged values in Las Vegas proper.
