A North Dakota tribal nation is in the process of buying a shuttered motel site on the south Strip, potentially expanding its holdings along Las Vegas Boulevard.

The Three Affiliated Tribes on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation entered an agreement to purchase the former White Sands Motel property, across from the Luxor, for $10.25 million, Clark County District Court records show.

The narrow 1.1-acre parcel is surrounded on three sides by the former Route 91 Harvest festival site, most of which was acquired by the tribal nation late last year.

A court hearing on the sale of the motel property is scheduled for March 23.
