The Golf course across from the hotel lasted a few years, very narrow course that started out like it was going to be something but ended up like so many public courses at the time with a lack of play.
Do u know why this was abandoned? The original owner [ who I was working for at the time] had construction going but when the inspectors showed up they found that it had been built something like 3 feet on Federal land and were ordered to stop construction. LOL Its been sitting like this ever since!
I believe there were financial problems from the start. Financed through junk bonds just before that market collapsed, sales that fell through, bankruptcies, etc. Too bad, it was an ambitious dream.
In the late 80’s it was a 800 million dollar project. High risk funding fell apart in the early 90’s. Shame to the land left this way. Either finish it or demo it. Either way not cost effective. Sad.
I Don’t believe it,,because you have to have the building site/property surveyed first before you get the OK to build, and they would’ve found that out right there,,,it was something else,,,but what a waste of money time and materials that was,,, and by now there’s way more codes, and that building is not updated to the new codes so you wouldn’t be able to use it anyways,,,What a huge waste
@@projectdesign4675 I build mansions for a living,, The land has to be surveyed first before anything can be done,,,that’s a fact in every state in the USA,,then a elevation report is done,,,if it was graded you need to have a compaction test,,,but the lot property and footprint and blue prints has to be checked off first before you can build anything,,,so if those guys knew what they were doing,,that would have been cought way before any foundation was poured,,and if it wasn’t done like that,,you have waste of money time and material issues like this…you clowns don’t have a clue over there ,,to not have found that screw up,,,
I wish there were older photos to draw reference from because I am confused due to the surrounding area and its vacancy. Like, were there once buildings around the hotel? Was it the only establishment in that entire area? Was the opposite side always heavily occupied? Just doesn't make sense.
Only wish someone would do something with this teardown or make it a hotel I don’t think they’re gonna make it hotel because it doesn’t look like Laughlin does all that well with their hotels that they do have there
No Idea if this is fact, but from what I have heard, the reason it hasn't been torn down is that it is Indian owned land and the county has no authority to make them tear it down. And that is sad because it is an eye sore from here in Laughlin.
You see a lot of similar projects in Mexico. They get half-built, and fizz out. Cost too much to tear down, so they remain for years.
looks like a perfect homeless shelter
They would have to swim over from Bullhead LMFAO 😂😂😂
Really?! It's incomplete!
Yeah if the town, or system actually cared about the homeless or poor. They sadly do not.

It was the best golf course in that valley, I must have played it over 30 times and loved it

How long ago was that then?

Shame how we in this country we just leave stuff setting.
Tough Casino! Never had any Luck there.
@@soulofhawk1742 tightest slots on the River. Good club, and dancing scene thats about it, the restuarants aren't even that good anymore sadly.
Hope it should get revived just like Fontainebleau Las Vegas which is set to open on December 13th.
I remember seeing this. When I like 4 years old
SAD! Used to be one of my stops while camped at Ft Mohave.

Rooms should be cheap

Well they don't call it the poor mans Vegas for no reason. I haven't been there in 25 years, but will soon just to see what's up.
Great bando for freestyle drones, tell botgrinder

Junk bonds and high interest loans is a risky way to start a new venture.
only if you're a civilian
Wish they would remove this looks bad I can see it from my house
Looks like Iraq
I take it that you have never been to Iraq.
I d'ont understanding more nothing!
such a waste just sitting there, finish it i'll come!
This would house a lot of homeless people.
So could you how many do you currently house?
@jonmacdonald5345 Two, but the building is abandoned, therefore it can be useful for things it wasn't intended for. And it's free or very very cheap.
There isn't much stuff around for them to steal at night for drug money. Las Vegas has plenty of flood control tunnels for them to live in.
