The “Harlem Nights” proposal for a resort and apartment building in the Historic Westside was shot down by the Las Vegas City Council in a contentious discussion Wednesday, which ended after Mayor Shelley Berkley threatened to kick the developer out of the meeting.
“I’m going out alone, cancel it please,” developer Shlomo Meiri told Berkley about denying the proposal after she told him that marshals would escort him out of the meeting if he continued to interrupt a councilwoman.
Meiri walked out before the council twice voted 6-1 to deny land-use entitlements for the “Jackson Hotel and Harlem Nights Casino” and the adjacent “Westside Residence” housing complex.
