John E. Carson Hotel building
Work last week began on the interior demolition of the John E. Carson Hotel, 124 S. Sixth St., purchased a year ago and now part of the realm of the Downtown Project.
Sources said the building might be home to several different types of business, including a doughnut shop, smoothie bar, tavern and offices.
Some 43 tenants of the 65-unit building were given the option to move into another downtown Las Vegas hotel, The Dragon, a few blocks east and north of Fremont Street, with their first month free and lower monthly rates than they paid in the John E. Carson.
Downtown Project investors purchased the John E. Carson in April 2012 for $2.1 million. They also purchased the Eden Inn next door, though plans for that building were not immediately available.
