It appears Steve Wynn didn’t like the idea of a competing resort opening up across the street from his Wynn and Encore casinos on the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

Word is Wynn Resorts has purchased the former Alon site for an undisclosed amount. The asking price was $400 million, but it’s highly unlikely the seller, Australian bajillionaire James Packer, got that amount.<\/p>\n

\"Alon
Not much to look at, but hard to beat the location.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Packer paid $280 million for the land in 2014. His planned Alon project fell apart<\/a> when financing failed to materialize.<\/p>\n

The 34.6-acre site, just north of the Fashion Show mall, has been vacant since it was the New Frontier. The New Frontier was imploded at midnight on July 16, 2007.<\/p>\n

At this point, it’s unknown what plans are in store for the Alon site, but a source says development appears likely.<\/p>\n

It’s been suggested by a source familiar with the sale Wynn is likely to build a new casino resort on the Alon site, including extensive upscale shopping. Wynn Las Vegas sold a 49.9% stake in its retail operations for a hefty $472 million in late 2016, and the company could see another opportunity in its upcoming development on the Alon land.<\/p>\n

\"Wynn
Wynn Paradise Park may not be Steve Wynn’s last hurrah after all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While the sale dashes our hopes for a new Las Vegas casino on the site, the move is likely to spark other activity on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip<\/a>. Other projects in the area include Wynn Paradise Park, Resorts World and an expansion of the Las Vegas Convention Center.<\/p>\n

Expect an official announcement of the Alon site sale soon, but you heard it here first.<\/p>\n

Updated (12\/14\/19): Our scoop is confirmed.<\/p>\n

Update (1\/22\/18): Wynn Resorts says it will build Wynn West on the Alon site. The Wynn West tower is expected to have 2,000 to 3,000 rooms.<\/p>\n

Update (5\/13\/18): The Wynn West project set for the former is indefinitely shelved<\/a>, along with cancellation of Wynn Paradise Park.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
