The city of Henderson might buy a former Fiesta casino site for more than $30 million, a hefty taxpayer purchase that could lead to a new sports facility.

Henderson City Council members are scheduled Tuesday to consider plans to buy the 35-acre former Fiesta Henderson property from Station Casinos. The locals-focused casino chain recently demolished the hotel, which had been closed since the onset of the pandemic.

City officials are considering building an indoor recreational facility on the site that could potentially include basketball and volleyball courts, as well as baseball and softball diamonds that can be converted into turf fields, according to Henderson documents, which do not say how much the complex might cost or when it would be built.
