They hope to build a mega-entertainment facility here that could include a 40,000-square-foot resort casino centered around a …ž-mile track, with stables for 280 racing horses. Other amenities could include restaurants, batting cages, shopping facilities, campgrounds, a waterpark and movie theater, as well as parking for more than 2,500 vehicles and 200 RVs.

The Pahrump Valley Equine Performance Center of Excellence would be built on more than 400 acres of open farm land in northern Pahrump. It would be bound by David, Irene, Linda streets and Lola Lane, about a mile off Highway 160.
