LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — A high-rise hotel has been proposed for near the Las Vegas Strip to cater to the Jewish community.
Documents submitted to Clark County detail plans for the King David Hotel, which would be located at 3601 Vegas Plaza Dr., directly to the north of The Mirage and west of Treasure Island.
The address is currently the site of the Villa De Flores Apartments.
Planning documents state the hotel would be 46 stories tall and feature 486 rooms, along with a synagogue, restaurants, day spa, banquet facility, and convention facilities/exposition halls.

Parking would be included in the base of the resort, with five subterranean levels and seven above-ground levels, according to the documents.
In a justification letter sent to the county’s planning division, attorneys for the developer RK Vegas Circle LLC wrote that the King David Hotel’s amenities would be “aligned with the Jewish faith and culture,” including kosher restaurants.
RK Vegas Cirlce has applied for waivers to develop the hotel, though county staff members wrote that they have concerns with those requests, citing issues with parking and pedestrian traffic.
“When the numerous waiver requests including reduced parking, reduced setbacks, alternative landscaping, modified street and design standards are taken into consideration, staff cannot support the design reviews as the site is being over built,” county staff wrote in their recommendation.
The proposal for the King David Hotel is on the agenda for Wednesday’s Clark County Zoning Commission meeting.
