Massive Race Car Hotel Planned For Nevada Town

More building exuberance from Nevada. This time the news comes from Beatty, a small town 120 miles north of Las Vegas. Developer Mark Fleming is planning a $2 billion hotel/casino/condo complex with a race car theme. The Xtreme Cars and Stars Hotel Casino will have  four 27-story towers with around  2,592 condos, timeshares, and hotel rooms. There will also be retail shops, restaurants, and a large casino that includes and exhibition area for cars. The ambitious plan includes a $2.7 million, 2.1-mile NASCAR racetrack which will encircle the property. The project also has some amenities I haven't seen recently including a drive-in theater and a floating restaurant. Other features include a18-hole championship golf course, 50,000-square-foot pool area and an RV park with full hook up facilities. There will also be a floating restaurant suspended at the top of the building. Every detail of the building will have an automotive theme and the development also includes car condos with garage areas and overhead loft space for sale which will sell for $250,000 to $1 million.  It's an interesting project but will it come to pass? According to an article in the Las Vegas Business Press, Fleming claims that executives from Arby's, Disney and General Motors have verbally committed to the deal. He hopes to break ground by the end of the year.
