LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A project is in the works near the Las Vegas Strip set to cater to Jewish travelers.
Clark County officials have received plans for the King David Hotel, a towering 46-floor structure located between I-15 and Treasure Island hotel casino.
Currently, the location is the site of the Villa de Flores apartments.
This plan would include over 400 rooms, a synagogue, kosher dining options, and bars.
RABBI LEVI: "If there were to be a location to open up and to solely be able to provide that, it is an underserved population it is something there is a major need for and you would see a lot of success, happiness, and growth around that."
We asked him what concerns he may have as a member of the community for this location, if it all does go according to plan.
RABBI LEVI: "There would have to be proper planning that needs to take place because that is a target. Places of worship regardless of religion always will be a target for people that hate you or despise you."
On Wednesday, the Clark County Planning Commission made the decision to postpone the hotel's proposal plan until June 2024.
