Where Tony has failed in Downtown Las Vegas, Developers need to succeed!

I have said several times that a corporate town is doomed for failure.

Unfortunately for Tony Hsieh, it happened sooner than even I expected.  Recent news stories have told the tale of Tony stepping down from the Downtown Redevelopment Project and the subsequent layoffs of about 10% of their staff.

One of the proponents of the project was a former professor who moved to Las Vegas a few years ago to be a part of this development.

Thus, in an open letter to the Las Vegas Weekly, the former professor states that the lack of a plan was the point of undoing to the project's failure.  Apparently, there was no "North Star" to help guide the progress.

Which now is verifying everything I had been hearing about the project.  I have continually stated that more developers were needed to help this project along.  More residential, more office and retail has to go in, in order to bring the correct demographic to Downtown Las Vegas to make this viable.

Since Tony had no direction and the City kept saying to my sources he didn't have a plan, I am NOT surprised at this failure.

IF Tony had brought in developers from the beginning and encouraged their input, things could be different.

With the development of new projects, the city may have had more to Downtown than hotel casinos.  I am talking the return of high paying jobs that are the major component of most "Hub" cities such as Phoenix, Los Angles, San Diego, San Francisco, etc.

Without these high paying jobs, Downtown Project's lack of vision was going to end up a train-wreck -- which is what has happened.

David Howes Sells NW Las Vegas Office Building!

That's right! I closed escrow on a small +/-3,300 SF office building with a non-denominational Christian church as the tenant.

Many potential buyer/clients had asked me to find them a steal, yet only one buyer actually took the plunge and made an offer which was countered and we were in escrow for roughly 30 days.

We closed escrow or on the sale this past week and the Buyer is now the proud owner of a building that will garner enormous equity in the next two to three years. That's my prediction!  He will double his investment by the time the church lease has expired.

Las Vegas Adult/Topless Club Available For Sale!

The Owner of a well located Adult Cabaret Licensed property in Las Vegas has asked me to find a Buyer for his Club.

The Real Estate and Business is available for the Reduced Price of $10 Million. And, this price is the Sales Price. It is Not Negotiable! No financials will be available to any Buyer who wants to verify the business cash flow; and/or argue that the property is worth less than the asking price. NOR, will the price be adjusted because as a buyer you want an appraisal that MAY or MAY NOT justify the Selling Price. If you want a Fully Licensed  "Adult Cabaret" Club with "Full Alcohol" AND "Restricted Gaming," this is the location regardless of the Selling Price.  The local authorities are NOT giving out any more combination licenses.

The purchase price includes: the +/-2.04 acres surrounding the +/-17,000 SF Free Standing building, a double sided billboard sign, and a small .6 acre+/- leaseable car sales lot (which this small +/-3,200 SF building could be demolished to create additional parking for the club!)

The Topless Club was remodeled a few years ago and has been well maintained. Per code, the Owner updated the club with fire sprinklers, a new sound system and Slot Gaming!

So, as you all know, this is NOT for everyone.

As a specialty use in the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) world, only a few will be able to own and operate a club where women dance in scantily outfits (G-String bottoms only) and men can drink and gamble. Oh! And you can smoke cigars while the Ladies entertain you!

This is the perfect setting for a young man visiting Sin City!

This Adult Topless Club is located in the right location, near the major Resort Hotel Casino Cooridor. It is the very best located Adult Club in Las Vegas and one of the best for Topless Adult Entertainment.

IF Interested but the Real Estate Acquisition Price is a little high for your budget, the Owner would sell the  Business at $1.5 Million and Lease the Real Estate at $25,000 per month on a Five Year Lease.

For more information, Email me your contact information, your financial capability for full disclosure of the property.
