What has actually changed on Las Vegas Boulevard South north of Silverado Ranch Boulevard since last fall?
New pavement on the side streets is about the only change you can see. In 2026 the west edge of Silverado Ranch picked up a proposed hotel-casino called Silverado, a 275-home community on the former Paradise Spa site and a stalled high-speed rail station a few miles north. None of them has started vertical construction you can see from the road, and none is controlled from inside the neighborhood. A county commission, a homebuilder's model schedule and a federal loan office each hold a calendar. For the casino and the homes across from it, those calendars fall between December 2026 and spring 2027.
The Dates on Each Calendar
These are the dates to know as of November 2026.
| Project | Where | Next listed timing | Who decides |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silverado hotel-casino | NW corner of Las Vegas Blvd S and Richmar Ave | Dec. 16, 2026 zoning meeting | Clark County Commission |
| Paradise Encore | Former Paradise Spa site, across Las Vegas Blvd | Models forecast to start Feb. 2027; sales forecast Q1 or Q2 2027 | Taylor Morrison |
| Brightline West Las Vegas station | Las Vegas Blvd between Blue Diamond Rd and Warm Springs Rd | Completion late 2029 at the earliest | Waiting on a Federal Railroad Administration loan decision |
The first two sit directly across the boulevard from each other. Whatever happens on one side of the road shapes what the other side looks like.
The Casino Named Silverado Has Been Postponed Three Times
In August, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that developer Michael Ochoa had drawn up plans for a resort called Silverado at the northwest corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Richmar Avenue, a few blocks north of Silverado Ranch Boulevard. Here is the first phase, according to county records cited in that story:
- 300 hotel rooms
- A 57,000-square-foot casino
- Food-and-beverage outlets, entertainment and conference space
- A second phase adding 150 more rooms
- Two six-story hotel buildings and a five-level parking garage on a 13.5-acre site
The same Review-Journal story placed the site about 5 miles from the south edge of the Strip, on vacant land. A land-use consultant for the developer told the county the project marks a "substantial long-term investment" along this stretch of the boulevard.
The project has not had its vote yet. The applicant on county records is V L V 1, LLC, and its resort-hotel use permit, design review and sign review have moved from meeting to meeting.
- Sept. 2, 2026. The items were on the zoning agenda and were held to Sept. 16.
- Sept. 16, 2026. The official minutes list the three items in a group held to Oct. 21. That agenda passed 5–0.
- Oct. 21, 2026. A transcript of that meeting published by Nevada Record shows the items, now numbered 16 through 18, held again to the Dec. 16, 2026 zoning meeting.
Every one of those votes was about the agenda. None was a vote on the casino itself. Nothing has been approved or denied, so no construction start date exists. December 16 is the next date on the county calendar for these items.
Across the Boulevard, 275 Homes Where a Condo Complex Stood
The casino site faces the former Paradise Spa, a condo complex the Review-Journal described as having a history of fires and squatters. In September 2025, New York investment firm Kennedy Lewis bought the property for $30 million as land-bank investor, with Taylor Morrison as the homebuilder.
The complex has since been torn down. In May 2026, the Review-Journal reported that the replacement community is called Paradise Encore. Plans call for 275 homes with trails, a pickleball court, interactive art and picnic areas. An earlier Review-Journal story put 197 of those homes as detached houses, with the rest townhomes.
That May report also laid out the expected sequence. The site would be cleared by September 2026, model-home construction would begin in February 2027, and sales would open in the first or second quarter of 2027.
This is where the two sides of the road start to depend on each other. If both projects keep their current dates, the Silverado hearing comes about two months before Paradise Encore's models are expected to start, and the community's sales window falls in the months after that. Anyone touring Paradise Encore in spring 2027 will be looking across Las Vegas Boulevard at a lot whose future the county either settled in December or pushed back again.
The Work That Already Happened Was Pavement
The one project here with a contract, a start date and crews on site is Clark County Public Works' roadwork on the streets Silverado Ranch residents use to reach the boulevard.
The county's construction notice covers two segments:
- Starr Avenue, from Las Vegas Boulevard to Bermuda Road
- Gilespie Street, from Silverado Ranch Boulevard to Pebble Road
The scope includes roadway, sidewalk, streetlight, traffic signal and drainage work under a $5.151 million contract. Construction began January 26, 2026, and the county estimated completion in September 2026. Lane updates are posted on the county's Starr Avenue project page.
More road work is coming, but slowly. On Clark County's design-project list dated Sept. 22, 2026, two more local segments show as 0% complete with no schedule:
- Bermuda Road from St. Rose Parkway to Silverado Ranch Boulevard
- Gilespie Street from Barbara Lane to Silverado Ranch Boulevard
There is also a smaller retail item on Silverado Ranch Boulevard. On Aug. 19, 2026, the county approved a sign-design review for a proposed Kum & Go gas station and retail store on five acres north of Silverado Ranch Boulevard and east of Dean Martin Drive. That approval covers taller freestanding signs for the site.
Brightline West Has Pushed Its Own Date Furthest Out
The project farthest north on this stretch was once the one with the firmest schedule. Brightline West's Las Vegas station is planned for Las Vegas Boulevard between Blue Diamond Road and Warm Springs Road. That is the terminal for a 218-mile high-speed line to Rancho Cucamonga, California, with a connection to Metrolink service into downtown Los Angeles.
According to the Review-Journal's Oct. 26 update, a ceremonial groundbreaking took place at the station site in April 2024. Crews later started a parking garage, a box culvert and sewer work under the site. The garage remains unfinished, and no crews have been seen working there in months.
A $6 billion federal loan is holding things up. Brightline West applied for it in September 2025, and the Federal Railroad Administration has not yet decided. The project already has a $3 billion federal grant and $2.5 billion in private activity bonds, and its estimated cost rose from $12 billion to $20.1 billion in 2025.
The hope of running trains in time for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics is gone. Late 2029 is now the earliest possible completion, and the Review-Journal reported that the longer the loan wait runs, the less likely that date becomes. A Brightline West spokesman told the paper that once financing is final, the company expects full-scale construction to deliver the system in about four years. Some work continues outside Nevada. Siemens Mobility is building the trainsets in Germany, and the first two car bodies are complete.
Brightline's schedule also changes how to read the other two. The station is not a 2027 event, and the casino and the homes do not depend on it. Each of the projects closest to Silverado Ranch rises or stalls on its own date. The first of those dates is December 16, when the Clark County Commission's zoning meeting has the Silverado items on its calendar again.
What happens across the boulevard affects your home's value too. A casino decision in December and new homes for sale across the road by spring will both shape what buyers compare your house against in 2027. If you own in Silverado Ranch and want to know where your home stands before those dates arrive, Jason Griggs and our team track these hearings and builder timelines as part of how we price homes on this side of the valley.
