Details emerge for Alon Las Vegas project

Nearly a year after a partnership acquired a long-dormant 35-acre site on the Strip, preliminary details emerged this week concerning Alon Las Vegas, a hotel-casino project led by Australian billionaire James Packer and former Wynn Resorts executive Andrew Pascal. Alon Leisure Management, LLC, which includes investment firm Oaktree Capital, filed paperwork with Clark County seeking the various land entitlements and permits for the site, which once housed the New Frontier Hotel and Casino.
