Las Vegas' redevelopment means new condos of every description... it also means a brand new deal for the Strip's classic
Rat-Pack era neighborhoods.

The John S. Park Historic District is between Charleston
& Sahara right off Las Vegas Boulevard.
The custom built homes here are from the late 40's & 50's &
were once home to Elvis, Liberace, and the Binions.
They are also one of the best kept secrets
in the city. Live the Life.

Rat Pack era homes of every size & description on both sides of I-15 in 'old' Las Vegas These homes aren't just nostalgic good fun, they're a mile or two from the north end of the Strip and Downtown where no less than six, $5 billion dollar-plus projects have been approved.

Aside from the condos Downtown which are all on Las Vegas Bl., only two of the buildings here are actually on the Strip (Sky & Allure.) Turnberry & Hughes Meridian are close & the Panorama Towers may be at the center of growth along I-15. Everything else is within a mile or so of the action.

Any map of the Monorail Project can serve as a redevelopment guide for both the city of Las Vegas and the unincorporated 'Strip' south of Sahara.

A Major New City Plan is Underway on over 100 Acres of Undeveloped Land West of Downtown

Many people don't know it yet but new government buildings, a Performing Arts Center, and extensive office and retail properties totaling over $5 billion dollars are being built between the I-15 and the planned monorail extension to the casinos on Freemont St.. Another major development, the new World Market Center for furniture is also going up in stages on over 57 acres. These projects are the anchor of the city's redevelopment plans and a number of upscale condos will be going up in and around Downtown.

Condo Towers, A New'Art's District' & Classic Homes on Las Vegas Boulevard.

The rest of the city's plan follows the proposed monorail southwards through Las Vegas' traditional core, between the Boulevard and the railroad tracks (now I-15,) to the city limit at Sahara. Commercial, mixed-use projects & semi-reasonably priced condo towers with a lot of potential upside will completely remake this part of town and probably create Las Vegas' most interesing new neighborhood in the process.

The neighborhoods just east of Las Vegas Blvd here are largely protected from development by the High School Historic District (mixed use) & John S. Park Historic District (residential.) Hmmmmm. There are more classic homes from suburban three bedrooms to some fairly serious estates on the other side of the I-15 north of Sahara as well.

Rat Pack Era Casinos Demolished for First Wave of Condo Projects on the Original 'Strip'

The first major wave of condos like the Turnberry Towers have already gone up on the sites of old casinos like the Landmark & El Rancho at the north end of Strip by Sahara. This is where the existing monorail actually starts. These condos aren't cheap, but there is a lot of competition and still more condos like Sky are going up around the Hilton and Wynn. The new Trump tower is also opening and the Stardust & Frontier have just been demolished to make room for more. No less than four more $5 billion dollar-plus projects have been approved for this area including Echelon Place, the 1100 foot tall Las Vegas Crown Tower, & MGM's next 100-acre development on Sahara & Las Vegas Blvd.

Interstate 15 and the Future of the Las Vegas Strip

Except for the proposed spur to McCarran Airport, the rest of the monorail's planned route follows Interstate 15 to points south. For the last 10 years, major expansion of the 'Strip' proper has stalled and development has consisted of tearing down what's left of the old boulevard to make room for the new boulevard. With new interest in premium condos like MGM's City Center adding to the demand for premium real estate, the 'Strip' will have to grow, ultimately taking over the west side of Interstate 15 and probably giving a new meaning to the idea of the 'Strip' in the process. High rise condo tower development along the I-15 and 95/515 freeway corridors should become a major part of the redevelopment equation for both the Strip and Downtown. New projects will also probably go up on mostly vacant land south of Mandalay Bay along Las Vegas Blvd. & Interstate 15, west of McCarran as the 'Strip' heads south.

Ironically, the monorail itself will probably not be part of this future. The federal government has withdrawn funding for the downtown leg of the route and it's currently unlikely that it will ever be built. The casinos may still pick up the tab for the extension to McCarran Airport but the technology is essentially obsolete and doesn't adequately address the 'Strip's' considerable people moving needs. That being said, the basic plan clearly shows which way the powers-that-be in Las Vegas expect the money to go regardless of how it gets there.
