The Wild Wild West Gambling Hall & Hotel hotel and casino is owned and operated by Station Casinos and is located at 3330 Tropicana Avenue in Paradise, Nevada, in the United States. While the casino and adjoining 262 room hotel are rather small, the site is over 58 acres (230,000 m2)[2] in size.
The Wild Wild West Plaza is located in the parking area and provides services common to a convenience store.
[edit] History
After starting out as the King 8 Hotel, it was renamed the Wild Wild West Gambling Hall & Hotel after Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide sold its partial ownership on July 6, 1998.
In 2005 Station Casinos started purchasing land next to the property it already owned. While no specific plans have been announced, it is widely expected that this move means that a major redevelopment is planned at this location.
According to an article in Forbes, the site has evolved to nearly 1/2-square-mile or 110 acres (0.45 km2) at a cost of $335 million. With a working title of Viva, the three casino, hotel condo arena project wind up costing $10 billion.[3]
