The Las Vegas Planning Commission late Tuesday voted against recommending a resort and housing project proposed for the Historic Westside during a lengthy meeting that brought out both supporters and opponents of the development.

Louis De Salvio was the only commissioner who voted in favor of the project as it was proposed.

The six-member board evaluates land-use entitlements, such as zoning, and forwards its recommendations to the City Council, which has the last say on whether a development proposal can move forward.

The proposed “Jackson Hotel and Harlem Nights Casino” and “Westside Residence” apartment building will next be discussed by the council on June 18.
