New owners plan Hispanic theme for displaced people
Three local casino operators could reinstall Castways at Head on Boulder Highway and reopen it in December after renovation, one of the new owners said on Friday.
At least that's the goal of MGI Group. The partnership between Randy Miller, Rich Gonzales, and Rich Iannone owns the Longhorn Casino on Boulder Highway and the Bighorn Casino in North Las Vegas.
Dennis Nilander, chairman of the Game Control Board, said the only possible delay for partners is to secure a main game license, which remains an open question.
Miller, who bought the 50-year-old landmark property from Bestin Group, said Neelander had not yet received it, but the group said it had filed a gaming permit application with the state.
Miller said the timing of reopening Castways as a Hispanic-themed hotel casino depends on the length of the state's investigation into the new owner and how long it takes for gaming regulators to approve the license thereafter.
Neelander said individual applicants who own the game in Southern Nevada and Louisiana should reduce the work required to complete the investigation because they have already been licensed. But he said the actual time needed depends on how the purchase and ownership are structured.
Meanwhile, the sale of Castways to a new owner is subject to permission, and Miller said the foreclosure sale in February allowed Vestin, who bought the previous showboat, to work on improvements despite no deal being struck.
Bestin Group Chairman Mike Stech said he was pleased that MGI Group was developing fast. 실시간 바카라사이트
Miller said the Rafflag Hotel-Casino, which means "Jewel of the Sun," will undergo a full renovation over the next 60 days to make it the most festive venue in Las Vegas.
"Everything is going to be new and it's going to be a great place," he said. "There's all the colors of the Southwest and a new porch, front desk and lounge."
