The Federal Aviation Administration has given the go ahead for a new 699-foot skyscraper to be constructed at the Casino Royale site on the Las Vegas Strip.

The FAA approved study — sponsored by Casino Royale, which is located at 3411 Las Vegas Blvd. — details that any “determination becomes final on August 30, 2023 unless a petition is timely filed.”

If approved and constructed, the new tower would be one of the largest buildings in Las Vegas, behind only the Strat and the yet to open Fontainebleau. Casino Royale, which is directly across the street from the Mirage Volcano, would have to be demolished to make way for the new building.
