The hotel-casino project backed by billionaire Tilman Fertitta on the Las Vegas Strip is still moving forward.

The developer is seeking to connect the proposed resort to an existing pedestrian bridge at the corner of Harmon Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard and is asking Clark County to vacate some nearby rights of way to make that happen, according to a application submitted to the county in September.

Additionally, the developer is seeking a review of exterior LED signs and directional signs for the resort, according to a letter filed with the county in January. Also in January, the county issued the project a set of electrical mechanical and plumbing permits for the central plant building, which should hold the HVAC components for the resort.
