  • Mirage Spa & Salon Renovation Complete
    MIRAGE SPA & SALON RENOVATION COMPLETE December 9, 2007 – Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – The five- month renovation of The Mirage Spa & Salon has been completed, with yesterday marking the much anticipated re-opening of the newly designed resort amenity. The Spa & Salon features a larger fitness center, enhanced services, and a significantly greater retail presence. Director of Spa/Salon Services Chuck Oliverio teamed with The Dumbell Man (TDM) to create a fitness center that exemplifies painstaking attention to detail. From the custom finishes of the strength equipment and the seamless integration of personal entertainment monitors on each piece of cardio equipment, to exacting flooring surfaces, this facility integrates modern design with the feel of a traditional gym – albeit an incredibly well appointed gym. Mr. Oliverio noted, “TDM once again proved to be a company that holds itself accountable to the highest of standards. We have yet to ever be disappointed on any level.” Originally opened by developer Steve Wynn’s Mirage Resorts Company in November of 1989, the 3,044 room property was built on the former grounds of The Castaways Hotel & Casino. The Mirage was the most expensive hotel- casino in history, with a construction cost of $630 million. The hotel’s distinctive gold windows get their color from actual gold used in the tinting process. It was reported that the resort would have to bring in a million dollars a day to pay off a seven year construction loan. But in fact, The Mirage did so well the loan was paid off in just eighteen months. The Dumbell Man is a leading provider of commercial exercise equipment in California and Nevada.

    ONE TROP, LLC Marvin Lipschultz October 6, 2015 Jeff Lerud, P.E., CPM Senior Project Manager State of Nevada Department of Transportation 1263 S. Stewart St. Carson City, NV 89712 Re: One Trop, LLC 3111 W. Tropicana Ave. Las Vegas, NV APN#: 162-29-101-019 Dear Mr. Lerud: Pursuant to our meeting with you and the engineers at the Hampton Inn we are making a formal response to the proposed I-15/Tropicana Intersection conceptual plans. After reviewing your conceptual plans and overlaying the property lines, it shows our property is being reduced by over 30% in size. Moreover, we are losing a huge part of the south half. We are truly surprised why NDOT would not choose to contact us prior to starting any plans to get our input and find out what we have planned for the site. Prior to any notification from NDOT we have entered into a long-term 60-year commercial land lease to develop the property. The property is zoned H-1, MUD-1, Gaming Overlay. In the past we have had an unlimited gaming license in place and with the new development, it is preliminary, but will have a high-rise, full service hotel/casino/resort with unlimited gaming, race and sports book. In addition, and prior to any notice from NDOT we have entered into a long-term flag and management agreement. NDOT’s proposed conceptual plans make it impossible to develop our property to its highest and best use, and if implemented would render the entire site useless. Your conceptual design poses several problems to our development.

  • The Naming of Gaming
    The Naming of Gaming Pauliina Raento Academy of Finland and William A. Douglass University of Nevada, Reno The naming of casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada, is an essential ingredient in the design of the city's entertainment landscape. More than 300 names have been used in the naming of gaming in Las Vegas since 1955. They occur in seven dominant patterns: 1) luck and good fortune, 2) wealth and opulence, 3) action, adventure, excitement and fantasy, 4) geography, 5) a certain moment, era, or season, 6) intimacy and informal- ity, and 7) "power words" commonly used in the naming of businesses. The categories are described and analyzed from the perspective of the evolution of Las Vegas. Regional variations between the Las Vegas Strip, Downtown Las Vegas, and suburban Las Vegas are also discussed. The names provide a powerful means of evoking senses of place, images, and identities for the casinos. They underscore the interpretative subjectivity and plurality of the relationship between people and commercial urban environments. Introduction We name people, things, and places to distinguish them from one another and to give them character. Often the names are commemorative and draw upon features (usually positive) of individuals and places. Buildings, streets and towns are named after other familiar places, historical events, and distinguished persons who have played a notable role in the shared past. As an example of the latter, over one quarter of the roughly 3,000 counties in the United States are named patriotically, most often commemorating a political figure (Zelinsky 1983, 6). Names of streets and buildings in capital cities and other centers of importance have special prestige.
