“The relocation of Zappos’ headquarters, multiple new businesses in the Fremont East entertainment district and the upcoming Life is Beautiful festival are all proof that we are in the middle of a downtown resurgence.” “This has been an amazing year for downtown Las Vegas,” Schorr said. The Downtown Grand features 634 rooms, about 600 slot machines and 30 table games.
The Downtown Grand at Third Street and Ogden Avenue is in the process of hiring 800 employees.
The price of the renovation, redesign and transformation of the Lady Luck into the Downtown Grand alone was about $100 million. Schorr said the investment made by the property’s owner, CIM Group, in the Downtown Grand and the surrounding Downtown3rd neighborhood will be “north of $200 million” when completed. “The support of the entire downtown community has been overwhelming, and we look forward to adding another amazing element to the revitalization of Las Vegas.” “We have been working hard on this project for several years,” Schorr said. Schorr also said reservations were being accepted for rooms with availability beginning Oct. Seth Schorr, CEO of the Downtown Grand Las Vegas, said a ribbon cutting ceremony is set for Nov. The downtown Las Vegas resort property once known as the Lady Luck will reopen next month as the Downtown Grand, the property’s chief executive said Friday.
