LAS VEGAS (KTNV) A new casino could be coming to the Las Vegas Strip. <\/p>\n
Last week, Howard Hughes Holdings announced they were forming a new division in the company called Seaport Entertainment. The division will manage entertainment-related assets in New York and Las Vegas. <\/p>\n
That includes the Las Vegas Aviators as well as the company's ownership in Jean-Georges Restaurants and its 80% interest in the air rights above Fashion Show Mall, which the company said is intended to be used to create a new casino on the Strip. <\/p>\n
However, the company didn't clarify how far along they were in the planning process or lay out a timeline on when the matter could be discussed next. <\/p>\n
