What New Developments in Las Vegas Are Opening in 2022?

Can you tell us what major new developments will be opening in Las Vegas in 2022?

Can you tell us what major developments will be opening in Las Vegas in 2022?

We can, though there aren't many at this point.

The big one, of course, is the reopening of the Palms. When that happens sometime in the first quarter, a lot of questions will be answered: which restaurants will reopen (we're rooting for the buffet and Mabel's BBQ); what entertainment direction it'll take; how's the service (the Palms is in a tough labor situation); what will the video poker and table-game payouts be; and in general, what will a major Las Vegas casino run by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians look like?

Next up in terms of bigness is the tentatively named Project63, a four-story retail/dining center at the southwest corner of the Strip and Harmon Avenue across from the Cosmopolitan, where City Center's doomed Harmon Tower started to rise and made it to the eighth floor, but had to be torn down due to design flaws. The two-acre parcel was sold for $80 million, setting a record for Strip real estate. It's scheduled to open in October.

Dollar Loan Center, formerly Henderson Event Center, formerly Henderson Pavilion, will open March 8 when it hosts the Big West Conference basketball tournament. The American Hockey League's Henderson Silver Knights will play their first home game there on April 2. The Knighthawks, Las Vegas' Indoor Football League franchise, will also play there, along with the Henderson Symphony Orchestra and other concerts and events.

The Las Vegas Loop will be extended under the Strip from the Convention Center to Resorts World, where the first casino will be hooked up to the subterranean public-transportation system that will eventually have 54 stations along Las Vegas Blvd. and, perhaps, connect to the airport and downtown.

And two boutique non-casino hotels will open downtown: the unnamed eight-story Project 18B and English Hotel, a four-story boutique hotel in the Arts District named for celebrity chef Todd English.

That's about it currently. We're really looking forward to the new scene at our old stomping grounds the Palms. We're also curious about the tenant line-up at Project63. Other than those, 2022 sets up Las Vegas for a number of major developments that kick in next year and beyond.

What would you improve in Vegas.

A poll on "If you could improve one thing in Vegas, what would it be?", might be interesting.  I am very "Pro Vegas", having been there at least 35 times, but for me, I would improve the taxi service.  I dislike the fare increasing "tours", I am sometimes subjected to. The fixed rate set up from the airport to the hotel was a great improvement but I am still taken on absurd routes when going from hotel to hotel.  I wonder what other "pet peeves" frequent visitors may have.

Ooops

I meant to send the above as QOD, not as a comment.

Why not? I'll jump in!

The great majority of traffic accidents in the "strip" area of the freeway is due to poor signage. So visitors are constantly making mad dashes across several lanes to catch an exit.

Improve sign directions as if one reading them had never, ever been to Las Vegas before.
Maybe something like a list of Casinos 5 miles from the exit saying take EXIT # to get there.

Lv not alone

I agree with @Jackie, but Las Vegas is not alone in bad signage. Back in 2010 here in L.A., artist Richard Ankrom went up on the freeway signs and painted a replica of official signage to make more sense of which lane you needed to be in at an interchange in downtown. Maybe you could pay him to help your cause.  :D

Palms Buffet

We're also hoping that the Palms Buffet will return with the reopening of the Palms.  They say that they want to appeal to locals, so what better way than having a great buffet!
