Moulin Rouge Rehab Clearing Hurdles

LAS VEGAS-On the heels of last week's Planning Commission approval of their $1-billion revival of the historic hotel and casino, the developers add a strategic partner.

LAS VEGAS-Moulin Rouge Development Corporation and Republic Urban Properties have tapped Epic Gaming as a strategic partner for its proposed $1 billion redevelopment of the historic Moulin Rouge Hotel and Casino northwest of the Downtown core. MRDC says Epic Gaming will work in conjunction with project architect and engineer Edward Vance & Assoc. during the design phase to determine the strategic mix of the gaming initiatives and ancillary amenities including slots, gaming tables, restaurants and retail. Once the facility is built, Epic Gaming will become the property’s gaming operator.

Plans for the project were submitted to Las Vegas city officials in early February. Last week, the Las Vegas Planning Commission unanimously approved the site plan and the necessary special permits, variances and rezones needed to make it happen. The application will be considered for final approval by the Las Vegas City Council in early April. If approved, the developers plan to break ground in early 2009 and complete the first phase by the end of 2010.

Located at Bonanza Road and Interstate 15, northwest of the Downtown core, the $300-million to $400-million first phase of the proposed 17.4-acre development includes 700 hotel rooms, four restaurants, convention and meeting rooms, as well as a pool-side night club, concert venue, jazz center, and 50,000 sf of retail and spa facilities. At build out, the property would be home to a 41-story tower, a 30-story tower and other structures containing 1,727 hotel rooms, a 72,600-sf casino and 381,700 sf of other commercial uses that include the aforementioned retail, entertainment and spa facilities, according to city documents.
