To preserve a gaming license, casino play must occur on the site for at least eight hours every two years. The Las Vegas City Council will review the plan June 21 with final approval scheduled by the Nevada Gaming Commission on June 22. The state Gaming Control Board on Wednesday recommended approval of a plan to preserve the grandfathered gaming license for the buildings containing the two properties, purchased in 20 by Derek and Greg Stevens, owners of downtown’s D Las Vegas and Golden Gate properties. Slot machine play will return to downtown’s Las Vegas Club and the Mermaids casino later this month - at least, for 16 hours. (Elizabeth Brumley/Las Vegas Review-Journal)
The now-closed Mermaids Casino is being considered to be set up as a temporary casino by the Gaming Control Board in order to preserve the gaming license, in downtown Las Vegas, Tuesday, June 6, 2017.
