KDH Hotel Project to Move Forward in 2025 After Advisory Board Approval

LAS VEGAS, NV – A high-rise hotel project proposed near the Las Vegas Strip that would cater exclusively to the Jewish community is expected to move forward in 2025 after being recommended for approval by the Paradise Town Advisory Board, according to reports.

Slated to be built at 3601 Vegas Plaza Drive according to documents submitted to Clark County, the 42-story, 648-foot-tall KDH Hotel – formerly known as the King David Hotel – would be located directly to the north of The Mirage and west of Treasure Island. The hotel would include 486 rooms, banquet halls, a day spa, a two-level synagogue, kosher meals, restaurants, bars, a banquet facility, retail and convention space, all situated within short walking distance of Las Vegas Boulevard.

Following the 3-1 recommendation vote for approval by the Advisory Board on December 11, the next step for the KDH Hotel is for the developers to go before the Clark County Commission for review on January 8; potential hurdles include the outcomes of traffic and drainage studies, in addition to aligning the proposed height of the building in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration regulations.

Or Bamidbar Chabad Sephardic Synagogue Rabbi Yossi Shuchat said that he was very happy that there would be an establishment in the heart of the city where the Jewish community – in addition to the many Jewish tourists that visit Vegas every year – would feel welcomed and safe.

I think it is a great place. Anywhere near the Strip would be great because that is where all the conventions happen,” he said. “On the Sabbath, we are not allowed to drive. So religious people, they walk to the synagogue. Also, there are a lot of restrictions using electricity on the Sabbath. So, people have issues with electronic keys for the rooms so if there is a hotel that would work with them and have regular keys and everything that is needed it will be much more comfortable for them.”

However, the KDH Hotel project has received pushback from a neighboring resort-casino; Treasure Island General Counsel Brad testified at last month’s Advisory Board meeting that “the project will have adverse impacts on surrounding properties due to increased traffic and heavy polluting.”

Food deliveries, linen and sundries, retail items, etc, require access to the property,” he said. “I have heard during an in-depth screening for a few board members that a large building on a small parcel will have an impact on its neighbors. I would like to note that that is exactly what this is. We also believe that the inability to stage construction vehicles onsite while building this tower will create massive problems and negatively impact ingress and egress on the North Strip.”

If all goes well at this week’s Clark County Commission meeting, construction on the project could commence later this year.
