One of the towers is to be constructed with the casino, a project expected to be launched next year. The other two towers will be built at unspecified times.

The County Commission gave zoning approval for the resort in July 2001, but the company sought use permits for the towers and other additions to the original plans. The county on Wednesday also approved expanding the number of approved rooms at the site along the south Strip to 2,139 from 300.

The county also approved a 4,330-seat arena in the Coast Casinos request. The vote to approve the applications was 6-0.
