Clark County officials issued a violation notice this week after a shuttered motel on the Las Vegas Strip was torn down without a demolition permit, records show.
The boarded-up White Sands Motel, across from the Luxor, had been in rough shape for years and long seemed destined for demolition, given its history of vandalism, vagrants and feral cats. It was still standing last year after a North Dakota tribal nation bought it and has since been torn down.
However, Clark County Building Department records online do not show a demolition permit application or a demolition permit issued for the motel structure at 3889 Las Vegas Blvd. South.
