A decade after he imploded the Clarion hotel, developer Lorenzo Doumani is still pursuing plans for a luxury resort in its place.

Doumani set out years ago to build the Majestic hotel near the Las Vegas Strip but has yet to start construction. He now aims to break ground in March on the first phase, a two-story retail plaza, he said in a recent interview.

He plans to open that section in spring 2027, and once he does, he would start building the 604-room hotel. Construction of the roughly 50-story tower would last about two years, he said.

Doumani, whose family built the long-gone La Concha and El Morocco motels on the Strip, said that his prior approvals for Majestic expired and that the envisioned resort is now “quite a bit different” than it used to be.
