List of canceled Las Vegas casinos

Over the years, there have been several casinos and resorts planned for the Las Vegas Valley that never opened. The stages of planning may have been an announcement or groundbreaking.

Asia Resort and Casino
Before the Palazzo resort was built on the Las Vegas Strip, an Asian themed casino had been proposed for the site. ==Alon Las Vegas==
Alon Las Vegas
A proposed luxury hotel and casino to be built on the Las Vegas Strip, on the former site of the New Frontier Hotel and Casino. The project was announced in 2015, but was put in doubt after James Packer's Crown Resorts announced, in late 2016, that it was suspending its involvement in the development. Packer was reportedly unable to raise sufficient development funds. Crown stated that it was halting the project and seeking to sell its investment. The remaining partner Andrew Pascal announced he was seeking other partners to proceed with the project. However in May 2017, the land went up for sale. Crown Resorts sold the 34.6 acre property of its majority-owned subsidiary Alon Las Vegas LLC to Wynn Resorts in January 2018 for $300 million. ==Beau Rivage==

Caribbean Casino
In 1988, a sign for a proposed casino was erected on a fenced vacant lot on Flamingo Road. Standing near the sign was a scale model galleon. For several years, that was all that stood on the property. The empty lot was the source of many jokes by the locals until the ship, which was later damaged by a fire started by a homeless person, was torn down in the 1990s and the lot became the site of the Tuscany Suites and Casino co-owned by Charles Heers, who has owned the property since the 1960s. ==Carnivaal==
Carnivaal
In 1989, the Radisson group proposed Carnivaal, a 3,376-room hotel next to the Dunes with an H-shaped hotel and a casino shaped like a Hershey's Kiss. Construction was first delayed from January 1990 to December 1990. The project was never built. ==Cascada==

Craig Ranch Station
A Mediterranean-themed hotel-casino for North Las Vegas, proposed by Station Casinos in March 2000. which led to the proposed location being changed to a vacant property on the nearby Craig Ranch Golf Course. Residential opposition to the new location led to the project being rejected by the Nevada Gaming Policy Committee in March 2001. Station Casinos still had the option to develop the project on the initial site, but the project was cancelled entirely in July 2001, following a weak financial quarter for the company. ==Crown Las Vegas==

DeVille Casino
After building the Landmark Hotel and Casino on Convention Center Drive and selling it to Howard Hughes, developer Frank Carroll built the DeVille Casino across the street from the Landmark at 900 Convention Center Drive in 1969. Chips were made for the casino (and are sought-after collectibles), but the casino never opened. The building was renovated in 1992 as a race book parlor named Sport of Kings which closed after nine months. It became the location of The Beach nightclub, which was demolished in 2007 to make room for a planned 600-unit tower that was never built. The land sits currently empty. ==Echelon Place==
Echelon Place
An announced project by Boyd Gaming planned to have a hotel built on the property of the former Stardust Resort & Casino. Construction was suspended on August 1, 2008 due to the Great Recession. In March 2013, Boyd Gaming sold the proposed site for $350 million to the Genting Group, which redeveloped the project as the Asian-themed Resorts World Las Vegas, which had its grand opening in 2021. ==Harley-Davidson Hotel and Casino==

The Hollywood Hotel was announced in 1944. The hotel was to be built at an unspecified location two miles outside the city and would have included a helicopter pad and runway.

By April 1994, Gold Coast Hotel and Casino owner Michael Gaughan was interested in building a hotel-casino in North Las Vegas, at the northeast corner of North Rancho Drive and Carey Avenue. In January 1995, the city planning commission approved the rezoning of the land for use as a hotel-casino. The resort, to be named Kactus Kate's, would be built by Gold Coast Hotel/Casino Limited. The hotel would include 450 rooms, and the casino would be , later decreased to . In January 2001, Station Casinos purchased the site for $9 million. Coast Resorts president Harlan Braaten said, "As we saw the competitive nature of that area intensify, in terms of the size of competing facilities, we just felt we would have to build something much bigger than we had intended to compete with Texas Station and Santa Fe Station. It was just going to be a very expensive project, and we didn't feel the returns would be that good." Station Casinos planned to sell the property as a non-gaming site. ==London Resort and Casino==
London Resort and Casino
This announced project was to have been themed around the city of London, and featuring replicas of the city's landmarks. The project was to be built on land across from the Luxor Hotel and Casino. A second London-themed resort was to be built on the former land of the El Rancho Hotel and Casino. Neither project ever began construction. ==London, Las Vegas==
London, Las Vegas
This was a proposed three-phase project using London as its design inspiration. When completed, the 38.5-acre (15.5 ha) property would have featured 1,300 hotel rooms, a casino, a 500-foot-tall (152.4 m) observation wheel named Skyvue (partially constructed), and 550,000 square feet (51,097 square meters) of restaurants and shops — all of which would be architectural replicas of various British landmarks and neighborhoods. The project was to be constructed on land across from the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip, where — as of April 2026 the partially-constructed Skyvue still stands. The wheel was to be "Phase I of London, Las Vegas". In May 2026, the nearly 1200 -acre property was sold to a Nevada real estate developer. ==Montreux==

El Ad Properties purchased the Frontier and planned to build the Plaza on the property, but the project was later canceled. ==Moon Resort and Casino==
Moon Resort and Casino
Proposed by Canadian developer Michael Henderson, this is a planned 10,000-room, lunar-themed casino resort. Gaming experts doubt it will ever be built in Las Vegas, simply because the space planned for it is too large for the Las Vegas Strip. ==NevStar 2000==
