A 60-story resort called Harlem Nights is being proposed for the Historic Westside — a massive development that will be considered next week by the Las Vegas Planning Commission.
Shlomo Meiri, a self-described “crazy developer” based in Beverly Hills, California, owns the nearly 2-acre site and wants the project to act as a catalyst for other investment and development in the area, which he thinks has the potential to become another tourism area.

The project calls for a 687-foot-tall tower — taller than Hard Rock International’s planned 660-foot-tall guitar-shaped tower on the Strip — that will include 764 hotel rooms and 458 residential units. It will also feature casino space, a 900-seat theater, retail shops and a restaurant as well as a bar on the top floor of the building.

Located at the corner of Jackson Avenue and F Street, now home to the boarded-up Tokyo Casino, the development is projected to cost $700 million, according to Lisa Mayo-DeRiso, project consultant for Harlem Nights.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix is still more than seven months away but at the corner of Harmon Ave. and Koval Lane, the race is already on to build the massive, state-of-the-art Formula One paddock.

On a recent tour of the bustling construction site, project manager Terry Miller said the goal was to complete work in September, leaving little margin for error with November's inaugural race down the Las Vegas Strip fast approaching.

Durango Casino, a Station Casinos project, is scheduled to open in the second half of 2023. Mijo restaurant and Bel-Aire Lounge are planned to debut this fall, with Bel-Aire Backyard launching in late spring 2024.

Three concepts — a Mexican restaurant, a cocktail lounge, and a pool retreat — are being created by Clique Hospitality at the resort, the Review-Journal has exclusively learned. Clique’s portfolio includes nearly two dozen nightlife and dining properties across Vegas and San Diego.
Mijo Modern Mexican Restaurant explores coastal Mexican cooking with meats, whole fish, elevated street foods and desserts. Tequila experts, called catadores, guide guests through a tequila and mezcal program that includes tequila lockers. Mijo encompasses several rooms inspired by the natural beauty of Mexico, as well as a lushly planted terrace.

Bel-Aire Lounge anchors the main floor of Durango Casino, offering a vibrant mix of modern furnishings accented with brass and gold, DJs spinning vinyl records and live performances of pop, rock, hip-hop and indie music. Craft cocktails and sweet and savory small plates add to the vibe.

Bel-Aire Backyard features a pool ringed by towering palms; pool chairs, daybeds and private cabanas for lounging; and a large menu of eats and sips for the sun from a pool restaurant.

Organisers of the Las Vegas Grand Prix have revealed new renderings of the race scene ahead of public ticket sale later this month. The penultimate race of the 2023 Formula 1 season takes place in Vegas from 16-18 November in what is being billed as one of the sporting events of the year.
The race will be held at 10pm on Saturday 18 November while the soon-to-be-built MSG Sphere, due to open in September, will be centre stage in view of the circuit.

From some angles the new MSG Sphere looks complete. But, there are still a few LED panels parked on the floor..
