Sahara Avenue project OK’d

Friday, June 7, 2002 | 11:13 a.m.

Property owner Andrew Fonfa received permission from the City Council on Wednesday to build a $50 million Hilton-branded hotel and casino on Sahara Avenue, just off the Las Vegas Strip.

The council also approved his application for a special use permit for a 40,000-square-foot casino that would be attached to the east side of the property.

Fonfa, who has been primarily involved in the development of apartments, condominiums and smaller shopping centers, has owned the 5-acre parcel on the north side of Sahara at Fairfield Avenue since 1987. Four small commercial buildings are located at the site, and would be torn down to make way for the hotel.
