A 60-story resort called Harlem Nights is being proposed for the Historic Westside — a massive development that will be considered next week by the Las Vegas Planning Commission.

Shlomo Meiri, a self-described “crazy developer” based in Beverly Hills, California, owns the nearly 2-acre site and wants the project to act as a catalyst for other investment and development in the area, which he thinks has the potential to become another tourism area.

“This project will create a lot of work, and people in the community can live and walk in the same place,” Meiri said. “Las Vegas doesn’t have a place to grow as far as hotels and tourists, and I see that (Historic Westside) is the next area of growth.”
