Wynn land

The Frontier Hotel stood on this spot, operating almost continually from 1942 to 2007. Prior to 1942, Pair-O-Dice club opened here in the 1930s, one of the first casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, then called Highway 91. Frontier Hotel opened October 30, 1942 as a ranch-style hotel-casino resort. It was demolished in 1955. A new structure was built and the hotel was reopened as New Frontier Hotel. It was renovated and reopened again in 1967 as The Frontier, and also continued to call itself The New Frontier. It closed 7-13-2007 and was imploded 11-13-2007.

Silver Slipper casino was opened on the north east portion of the property, operating from 1950 to 1988, when it was demolished and turned into parking for the main hotel.

A 7000-room resort hotel was planned for this location, constructed around a recreation of New York's famed Plaza Hotel. To have been built at a cost of $5 billion by the New York Hotel's Israeli owners, Elad Properties, the hotel would have contained the largest casino on the strip. Construction on The Plaza was cancelled due to the economic collapse in 2008.

The site was sold to Wynn in 2018 for a planned Wynn West expansion, but Steve Wynn resigned from the organization soon after and the project was cancelled. It is currently still an empty lot.
