Summary, model-written

The Dunes hotel-casino (opened 1955, closed 1993) was redeveloped by Mirage Resorts into the Bellagio resort (opened 1998).

Why. Retrofit completed (1998), 77 acres, Clark County grew 7.1% 2018–23, median rent $1,518.

Where it stands. Site is operational as a luxury hotel/casino (Bellagio), with no ongoing retrofit needed. County permits show active construction (2023–2024).

For a planner

  • 77 acres aligns with peer redevelopments (e.g., La Mirada Mall, 72 acres)

For a developer

  • Median rent $1,518 and county growth support retail/hotel viability; no missing data on current use.

What we do not know yet

  • Type listed as 'golf-course' but original use included hotel-casino; unclear if golf course remains part of current use.
