Las Vegas Advisor: No casino in plans for 3tower project
Nov 24, 2024
A project with the “placeholder” name Galileo has been proposed for a 27-acre parcel on the north Strip. Targeting the location that was formerly Wet ‘n’ Wild and recently the site of the never- started All Net arena project, plans for Galileo include three towers — one of which would be the city’s tallest at 752 feet (17 feet taller than Fontainebleau) — with 2,500 hotel rooms and condos, along with a 6,000-seat theater, a 120,000-square-foot convention area and an 18,000-square-foot “NBA-ready” arena, but no casino so far. The plan will require approval from the Federal Aviation Administration due to the height of the towers. If green-lighted, construction could start as early as the first quarter of 2025 and finish sometime in 2029.
