Is This True?

[dirty old man]

Friends driving to/from Vegas this week reported that Nevada Landing (Jean) was black. Anyone know for sure what the story is. Also some interesting rumors about Primm (for us old timers; Stateline)

It's been like that for over a year now. I thought they were refurbishing the inside at one point, but now I'm guessing those people were just bringing everything out of it.

Thanks. Haven't driven the 15 in years, go from BC to LA via Searchlight and the Nipton raceway

Interesting. Used to drive through there all the time. I imagine the electric bill was outrageous. On a side note, I lived in LV back when they re-named Stateline. I always thought "Primm" sounded pretty stupid, even if it is the guys last name.

i found this about jean. Link to full article (http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2007/Feb-13-Tue-2007/news/12548470.html)
Instead of selling the company's two casinos in Jean, MGM Mirage executives prefer another idea: master-planning the 166 acres into a mixed-use development 25 miles south of Las Vegas.
MGM Mirage announced Monday it entered a joint-venture partnership with two Las Vegas-based developers to turn undeveloped land on both sides of Interstate 15 into a community that features affordable housing, commercial businesses, shops and a new hotel-casino.

That's another 10 miles or so.

They built a short course, for the CORR series, in Stateline. Nice looking track.

They will be turning that into a master planned community. I believe MGMMirage
will be giving priority to casino workers in anticipation for the new projects coming online. Project City Center and City Center #2
