Nevada Landing Hotel and Casino
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nevada Landing was a hotel and casino designed to resemble 2 riverboats located in Jean, Nevada. The hotel, owned by MGM Mirage, had 303 rooms, four restaurants, over 800 slot and video poker machines, live keno, table games, banquet facilities, and wedding services. The rooms featured air-conditioning, telephones, clock radios, private bathrooms, and TVs. The property was typically marketed with its sister hotel, the Gold Strike Hotel and Gambling Hall, located across the freeway.
[edit] History
The casino opened in 1989, built by a partnership that included David Belding, Mike Ensign and William Richardson.
On February 12, 2007 MGM Mirage announced plans to close the casino on April 18, 2007 and build a master-planned community on the 166 acres it owns in the area in a joint venture with American Nevada Corp. and the Cloobeck Cos. The community is to include "affordable" housing, commercial businesses, shops and a new hotel-casino. The Gold Strike will remain open at least until the new hotel-casino is completed. [1]
On March 20, 2007 MGM Mirage closed the Nevada Landing in Jean almost a month earlier than it originally planned. [2]
Demolition began on the hotel in early March 2008. As of April 2008, the hotel is no longer standing, with the exception of the sign.
