List of canceled Las Vegas casinos

Steve Wynn, who had purchased and demolished the Dunes hotel-casino, had originally planned to build a modern hotel in the middle of a man-made lake.

In March 2013, Boyd Gaming sold the proposed site for $350 million to the Genting Group, which redeveloped the project as the Asian-themed Resorts World Las Vegas, which had its grand opening in 2021.

[25] A resort themed after the motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson was proposed, complete with hotel towers shaped like gigantic exhaust pipes, but was never built.

In November 2000, the planning commission unanimously approved a two-year extension on the permit, giving the company more time to decide whether it would build Kactus Kate's.

[31] The project was to be constructed on land across from the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip, where — as of December 2022 — the partially-constructed Skyvue still stands.

Phil Ruffin, owner of the New Frontier Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip, announced the Montreux in April 2006.

The hotel was designed by Adrian J. Wilson and Thornton M. Abell, and in November 1945 a two-page feature on the project appeared in Architectural Forum.

At the time, the North Las Vegas Planning Commission was scheduled to review requests for zoning changes and approvals for the project.

Other features would include sphinxes, man-made beaches, waterways resembling the Nile river, an underwater restaurant, a 24-hour child-care facility, a 100-tenant shopping promenade, and a repertory-style theater that would be overseen by actor Jack Klugman.

[4] 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 company owned the Plaza Hotel in New York City, and announced plans to build a Las Vegas version on the Frontier property.

[65][66] In a separate case, broker David Atwell sued El Ad alleging that he was owed a fee for initiating the Frontier sale; they eventually settled in 2008.

[70] There have been three proposed San Francisco-themed resorts for Las Vegas, including one planned for the site of the Silver City casino.

Designed by Thalden Entertainment Architects, the exterior would replicate notable buildings from the San Francisco skyline, such as the Transamerica Pyramid.

The hillside would include replicas of San Francisco landmarks such as Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, Washington Square, and the Palace of Fine Arts.

The resort would include 2,512 rooms and a 120,000 sq ft (11,000 m2) casino, and feature replicas of Alcatraz Island, Fisherman's Wharf, Coit Tower, and Lombard Street.

The start of construction was delayed several times because of poor financial quarters for Santa Fe Gaming,[87] and because of the company not yet receiving financing for the project.

By January 2000, Luke Brugnara was planning to build a San Francisco-themed resort on the site of the closed Silver City Casino.

In 1999, Bob Stupak was planning a 400-foot-high (122 m) resort themed after the RMS Titanic, to be built on a 10-acre (4 hectares) property he owned near downtown Las Vegas.

[117] W Las Vegas was proposed in August 2005, as a $1.7 billion joint project between Starwood and Edge Resorts, with a scheduled opening in 2008.

[128] Weiss met with nearby residents to discuss the project, and he had the original design changed to include a larger buffer zone between homes and the hotel-casino.

In November 1994, the Henderson Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of Weiss' requested zone change as part of the redesign.

[136] By March 1998, Station Casinos was planning to develop a hotel-casino complex on the land, which was occupied by a vacant strip mall.

[138] By the end of the year, the project had received approval from the Clark County Planning Commission for a 273,000 sq ft (25,400 m2) casino and a 504-room hotel.

[141] In 2000, Howard Bulloch, David Gaffin, and their partner Tom Gonzales transferred ownership of the Glass Pool Inn property to their group, known as New World, with plans for a megaresort.

[142] New World purchased several other nearby motels to accumulate a 77-acre (31 ha) parcel located on the Las Vegas Strip and east of the Mandalay Bay.

[143] In January 2001, plans were announced for World Port Resorts, a megaresort consisting of hotel-casinos, a convention center and a fine arts facility.

A casino resort themed after the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) was proposed for a property near the Interstate 15 freeway across from Mandalay Bay.

The resort would include approximately 1,700 hotel rooms and a casino, as well as convention facilities, a showroom, dining, and indoor tennis courts.

The resort was to be developed by Tandy McGinnis – of Bowling Green, Kentucky – and his Xanadu Corporation, and would be built on 48.6 acres (19.7 ha) owned by Howard Downes, a resident of Coral Gables, Florida.
