Village planned for Silverton
INVISION/AP
Barry Manilow has signed on for a residency at Westgate Las Vegas, returning to the venue at which he starred from 2005 to 2010 (when it was the LV Hilton).
A 150-room Hyatt Place hotel and several fast-food restaurants will make up Silverton Village, a $60 million project to be built in stages around the Silverton, located 2 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip.
This is the second major addition to the resort following the Berkley Las Vegas timeshare hotel, and there may be more to come on an additional 30 acres of land controlled by Silverton. Silverton Village is scheduled to be completed in 2019.
Barry’s back
Barry Manilow, below, has signed on for a residency at Westgate Las Vegas, returning to the venue at which he starred from 2005 to 2010 (when it was the LV Hilton). He’ll play from one to four weekends per month, with the first batch of dates landing on the lighter side of that schedule. The show will debut in previews May 24-26 and hold its official opening June 21-23.
Hockey at the D
The D casino is holding Vegas Golden Knights away-game watch parties in the outdoor Downtown Las Vegas Events Center throughout the remainder of the NHL playoffs. All ages are invited to the free party with a 72-foot screen and monster sound system. Food and drinks are sold at the venue.
Coaster prices
A revised ticket schedule has been introduced for the Big Apple Coaster at NY-NY. Individual tickets remain $15 weekdays, but are now $17 on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. The all-day pass remains $26 on weekdays, but is $30 on weekends and holidays. There are several packages available, including virtual-reality upgrades.
Question: What are the “several projects for the north end of the Strip” mentioned in last week’s column?
Answer: The major projects are Resorts World Las Vegas, The Drew (formerly Fontainebleu), and the extension of the Las Vegas Convention Center out to the Strip. Other possibilities are the Wynn Las Vegas lagoon project, the MSG Sphere Arena, and upgrades and a possible new name for SLS Las Vegas (formerly the Sahara). All are scheduled for completion by 2020.
