The property’s previous owner, MGM, reserved two of those acres for a memorial to Paddock’s victims prior to selling the remaining 13 acres to the tribe for a reported $93 million.įox wrote that the tribe wholeheartedly endorses the memorial, and that he hopes to turn a former site of “suffering” into “something positive for the Las Vegas community and the millions of visitors who go to the area annually.”
The original Route 91 Harvest festival site stood at a total of 15 acres. They remain confident that their investment in the area, now cresting $100 million total, will pay off in the end, Fox wrote. The tribe doesn’t yet have concrete plans for what their eventual investment will look like. The properties, along with a nearby 8.7-acre parcel the tribe acquired out of foreclosure in July 2020, would round off a portfolio of real-estate investments aimed at building a foothold for the Nation in one of the highest-traffic gaming locales in the country, according to a statement from MHA Chairman Mark Fox’s office. In 2022, the Nation purchased an adjacent 13-acre property that was the site of the United States’ worst-ever shooting spree at the Route 91 Harvest music festival.
The purchase, if approved, would be the latest in a series of property acquisitions along Las Vegas Boulevard by the MHA Nation.
