A List of Vegas Casinos that Never Opened
Over the years there have been several casinos and resorts planned for Las Vegas that never opened. The stages of planning may have been just an announcement or groundbreaking.
"Addams Family" Themed
Resort
A resort themed after the television show The Addams Family was announced,
but never got past the conceptual stages.
Asia Resort and Casino
Where
the Palazzo Casino Resort is presently being built (adjacent to the Venetian Hotel
and Casino and the Sands Expo and Convention Center), an Asian themed casino was
proposed but was rejected for the present Palazzo project.
Beau Rivage
Not
to be confused with the MGM-Mirage Beau Rivage Hotel on the Gulf Coast
Steve Wynn who had purchased and demolished the Dunes, had originally planned to build a modern hotel in the middle of a man-made lake. However he later built the Bellagio with a man-made lake in the front of the hotel.
Caribbean Casino
In 1988,
a sign for a proposed casino was erected on a fenced vacant lot on Flamingo Road.
Standing near the sign was a scale model galleon. For several years, that was
all that stood on the property. The empty lot was the source of many jokes by
the locals until the ship, which was later damaged by a fire started by a homeless
person, was torn down in the 1990's and the lot became the site of the Tuscany
Suites and Casino co-owned by Charles Heers, the same man that has owned the property
since the 1960's when he bought it from Howard Hughes.
Cascadia
A proposed
resort that was to have been built on a parcel of land across the street from
the Sahara Hotel and Casino. The parcel is now partially taken by the Hilton Grand
Vacation Timeshares.
City by the Bay Resort and Casino
A San Francisco-themed
resort was proposed for the site of the New Frontier Hotel and Casino. The project
was rejected in favor of the Swiss-themed Montreux, which itself was canceled
in favor of the Plaza Las Vegas, modeled after the Plaza Hotel in New York City
Countryland USA
A Country Music themed resort that was planed for construction
of the site of the former El Rancho Casino (itself formerly the Thunderbird Casino,
now the Turnberry Place condominium complex).
DeVille Casino
After
building the Landmark Hotel and Casino on Convention Center Drive and selling
it to Howard Hughes, developer Frank Carroll later built the DeVille Casino across
the street from the Landmark on 900 Convention Center Drive in 1969. Chips were
made for the casino (and are sought after collectibles), but the casino never
opened. The building was renovated in 1992 as a race book parlor named Sport of
Kings which closed after nine months. It is now the location of The Beach nightclub.
Harley-Davidson Hotel and Casino
A resort themed after the motorcycle
manufacturer Harley-Davidson was proposed, complete with hotel towers shaped like
gigantic exhaust pipes, but was never built.
Jockey Club Casino
The Jockey
Club is a timeshare resort at 3700 Las Vegas Blvd South. Plans were to have a
casino, and chips were made for its use, but the casino was never opened.
London
Resort and Casino
An announced project by the Voyager company that was to have
been themed around the city of London, and featuring replicas of the city's landmarks.
No construction ever took place.
Montreux Resort
A Swiss-themed resort
to have been built on the property of the former New Frontier Casino (chosen after
a proposed San Francisco-themed "City by the Bay" was rejected). Instead,
a casno modeled after the Plaza Hotel in New York City will be built.
Moon
Resort and Casino
Proposed by Vancouver, BC, Canada developer Michael Henderson,
this is a planned 10,000-room, 250-acre lunar-themed casino resort. Gaming experts
are stating it will never be built in Las Vegas, simply because there is no room
for a resort so large.
Palace of the Sea Resort and Casino
To have been
built on the former Wet 'n Wild waterpark site. Conceptual drawings included yacht-shaped
towers that housed suites, a casino resembling the Sydney Opera House and a 600
foot tall ferris wheel type attraction dubbed a "Sky Wheel". It never
left the planing stages.
Planet Hollywood Resort (The Original)
Not
to be confused by the current Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino
Originally planned to open in the late 1990s, it was to be one of the largest hotels in Las Vegas. However because of the bankruptcy by Planet Hollywood Restaurants, the hotel never was built. However in the 2000s, a group of investors bought the new Aladdin Hotel and Casino and remodeled it with a modern Hollywood theme. A unique feature is that the hotel does not feature a Planet Hollywood Restaurant.
Playboy
Hotel and Casino
A proposed casino resort themed after Playboy Magazine was
rejected in favor of a nightclub and suites built at the top two floors of the
new Palms tower. The planned location for the Playboy Hotel and Casino will instead
be the site of the Cosmopolitan Resort and Casino.
Sunrise
To have
been located at 4575 Boulder Highway, Las Vegas.
Property developer Michael Mona Jr. built the hotel-casino, bragging that he was going to break tradition by starting a "casino without a theme". He failed to get a unrestricted gaming license when suspicions arose concerning Mona's associations with alleged organized crime figures. Chips were made for the casino, but were never used. The building still stands and is now Arizona Charlie's East.
Titanic
A
planned 2,000 room hotel by Bob Stupak that was to be in the shape and design
of the doomed luxury ship. A giant fake iceberg at the base of the building would
have housed a casino and shops.
Unnamed "Haunted House"
Casino
An announcement was made in the local press for a "haunted house"
themed resort and casino to be built on where the El Rancho Casino used to stand
(formerly the Thunderbird Casino, now the Turnberry Place condominium complex).
The project never went past the announcement stage.
Unnamed "South
Beach" Casino
A proposal was made to renovate the Golden Palms Casino,
formerly Howard Johnson's, into a resort modeled after the South Beach region
of Florida. Renderings were made, but no renovations were ever attempted.
World Trade Center
To have been located at 925 East Desert Inn Road, Las Vegas.
Leonard Shoen, co-founder of U-Haul truck rental, purchased the property of what had been the Chaparral Hotel & Casino in 1996, renovating it into the World Trade Center Hotel. A gaming license was applied for, but when it was discovered that two of Mr. Shoen's closest partners were convicted felons, the application was denied in 1998. He withdrew his application, and later died in a car crash in 1999 that was ruled a suicide. Cards and gaming chips were produced for the casino, but were never used. The property has since been demolished and is now vacant.
World
Wrestling Federation
A casino resort themed after the World Wrestling Federation
was proposed for a property near Interstate Highway 15 across from Mandalay Bay.
The project never went past the proposal stage.
Xanadu
Planned in the
mid 1970s, it would have been the first themed mega-resort. Much information and
artifacts of the project are housed at University of Nevada - Las Vegas library.
