Proposed Silverado Casino Targets 13.5-Acre Site Five Miles South of Las Vegas Strip
TL;DR — Michael Ochoa proposes the Silverado resort on a 13.5-acre site five miles south of the Las Vegas Strip. Plans call for a 57,000-square-foot casino and 300 rooms in phase one, plus 150 more rooms later. Clark County commissioners review the application on September 2.
SCCG Take — Approval would test demand for scaled casino hospitality in an emerging off-Strip corridor backed by residential growth. Operators should track the hearing outcome for signals on capital allocation beyond the core Strip.
Michael Ochoa has proposed a new hotel casino resort on a vacant 13.5-acre site at the northwest corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Richmar Avenue near Silverado Ranch Boulevard. The Silverado project would add a casino, hotel rooms, restaurants, entertainment venues and conference facilities. Clark County commissioners will review the plans on September 2.
Planned Facilities
The first phase includes 300 hotel rooms and a 57,000-square-foot casino plus food and beverage outlets, entertainment areas and conference space. The second phase adds 150 hotel rooms. Two six-story hotel buildings and a five-level parking garage complete the development on the full site.
Land use consultant Lucy Stewart, representing Ochoa Development Corp., described the project as a substantial long-term investment. In a letter to Clark County, Stewart said the project would contribute to the continued evolution and revitalization of this section of Las Vegas Boulevard.
Review Process
The site lies roughly five miles from the southern edge of the Las Vegas Strip, outside the main casino corridor but along a major tourism route. It sits across from the former Paradise Spa condominium complex, now slated for residential development following demolition.
As reported by GamblingNews, the proposal remains subject to approval before any construction can begin. The scheduled September 2 hearing will determine whether the project advances.

Silverado tests whether mid-tier casino hospitality can pencil outside the Strip in a residential-growth corridor.
We watch every land play in Las Vegas — not just Strip mega-projects. This proposal tells us where developers think the next wave of gaming demand sits: off-corridor, smaller footprint, driven by local density. If approved September 2, it signals capital is moving to proven residential markets, not just tourist zones.
- 57,000-square-foot casino, 300 rooms phase one, 150 rooms later on 13.5 acres

SCCG angle: SCCG has deep vendor, design, and operator relationships across Vegas — if Silverado gets approved, we connect the right casino systems, F&B, and marketing partners to a developer entering a competitive local market. We have helped launch properties in every tier.
