Viva Las Vegas

Stations Casinos announced their new Viva project:

Station Casinos owners envision a complex with three casinos, at least three hotels and as many as 10,000 rooms on 110 acres at Tropicana Avenue and Interstate 15.

There are a number of positive things about this. It means that even though Stations is private, they’re still growth oriented. Usually private companies turn inward and spend a lot of time paying down the debt they borrowed to go private.

This creates the first big new investment on the West side of the Interstate 15.

It brings development energy to Tropicana, which only has the Orleans, and deserves more investment.

A project of this scope creates thousands of direct jobs and tens of thousands of indirect jobs.
