Dream Las Vegas, a resort hotel and casino, is expected to open at the south edge of the Strip. However, it's been revealed that it will be very close to the Pinball Hall of Fame, which wasn't intended.
Per the lawsuit the hotel developers filed last fall in Clark County District Court, the Pinball Hall of Fame encroached by “at least eight feet” on Dream’s property.
The complaint stated the encroachment was an “unlawful occupation” of Dream’s property and noted that it prevents a drainage outlet, “as originally designed and engineered, from being constructed.”
Pinball’s attorneys wrote in a filing that it was “likely” surveying error by a contractor indicated the arcade “owned more property than it initially purchased.”
The Dream isn't the only land being encroached on by the Pinball Hall of Fame as it's also on land owned by the Clark County Department of Aviation.
Department of Aviation spokesman Joe Rajchel told the Las Vegas Review Journal: "Yes, we are aware that a portion of the Pinball Hall of Fame encroaches on DOA-owned land."
Rajchel continued: "As this has had no impact on airport operations, we are working with them on a mutually beneficial solution."
The Dream Las Vegas is a $550m project by Southern California firms Shopoff Realty Investments and Contour. The groundbreaking ceremony was held in July of 2022.
The 531-room casino and resort located on Las Vegas Boulevard just south of Russell Road is expected to open in early 2025 barring any setbacks.
The developers have made several design changes since first starting the project.
