A pop-up casino in a tent will open for eight hours on Tuesday as Marriott International seeks to preserve a grandfathered non-restricted gaming license connected to the street corner that formerly was home to The Beach nightclub.
But the Nevada Gaming Commission on Thursday told Marriott’s legal representative that preserving the license can’t go on indefinitely and the company needs to move toward a definitive plan.
The opening of the tent casino at 6 a.m. will mark the 10th time in 17 years that the temporary set-up of 16 slot machines – the minimum necessary for a non-restricted license – is taking place.
Under state and Clark County regulations, a company must offer public gaming for at least eight hours in order to maintain a license.
