Station’s next sorta-big thing

Last night, Station Casinos brass met with residents of Richfield Village, regarding the former’s proposed water park, at the nexus of I-15 and Desert Inn Road. Richfielders were told that Station wants to change the zoning on the parcel from “commercial” to “industrial” in order to be congruent with the prevalent zoning in the area. That explanation doesn’t quite allay the fears of those area residents who have visions dancing in their heads of Station flipping the acreage … finding themselves living on the north side of an industrial park. The matter heads to the Clark County Planning Commission on Armistice Day (Nov. 11), at which point the general public will become privy to what sort of aquatic wonders Station plans to build near where the Scandia Fun Center once stood.
