Wynn Resorts International’s plans to build a third tower on the Strip are still afloat thanks to a county vote.

The Clark County Zoning Commission voted Tuesday to extend previously approved development plans for Wynn to build a 1,100 room resort, with a 28,000-square-foot casino and 85,000 square feet of convention space on a 34.6-acre site across Las Vegas Boulevard from Wynn’s main campus.

The land is the former site of the New Frontier hotel, which was imploded in 2007 and was the proposed site of the abandoned Alon Las Vegas resort. Plans for redevelopment of the land were originally approved in 2015 as part of the Alon Las Vegas project.
