What is the deal with the Nevada Hotel on Main and Bridger? Who owns it now? Why has it been boarded up so long? Seems like it could be a good condo complex.
Condos are an unlikely future for the site of the Hotel Nevada, the dilapidated old building a block south of Fremont Street on Main Street. (Not to be confused with the six-story Hotel Nevada and Gambling Hall that dominates downtown Ely, Nevada, 250 miles northeast of Las Vegas, which opened in 1929 and for a time was the tallest building in the state.)
This Hotel Nevada's owner is Summit One Network, a Houston-based company that turns out to be an affiliate of Tilman Fertitta’s Landry’s Restaurants empire. So it would appear that Fertitta could have the property in his back pocket with an eye to future reinvention.
However, according to Las Vegas Public Information Officer Natasha Shahani, “At this time, we do not have any planning submittals or permits for this property.”
We reached out to Fertitta’s public-relations representatives, who were initially receptive, but then the cone of silence descended. So if they, or even Fertitta himself, are aware of future plans for Nevada Hotel property, no one's talking.
