Houston billionaire Tilman Fertitta seems to be moving quickly on his Strip resort project.

Clark County issued three demolition permits last week to let work crews tear down buildings on Fertitta’s property in Las Vegas’ famed resort corridor, records show. The permits were issued Oct. 19, the same day the County Commission approved his plans for a towering hotel-casino at the site.

The permits each list the same valuation, $437,589, and name the same contractor, Clauss Construction, which boasts a long history of large-scale demolition work.

Fertitta’s 6-acre spread, at the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Harmon Avenue, is home to the Tex Mex Tequila Bar & Grill building, a cluster of souvenir shops and a 1960s-era Travelodge motel property that had closed by July.
