Another old hotel and casino on the Las Vegas strip is closing. The New Frontier’s new owners, The Elad Group, which is controlled by Israeli real estate billionaire Yitzhak Tshuva, announced that it will be closing the New Frontier on July 15th at midnight. The implosion of the hotel is set for early next year.

The new owners of the land are going to spend between 5 and 7 billion dollars to build a Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas, which will resemble the Plaza hotel in New York. It will contain a hotel, condominiums, a casino, and retail space.

The Elad Group owns the New York version of the Plaza Hotel, which is currently closed for a $400 million renovation.

Best known for her superb 1984 cover of Prince’s “I Feel for You,” legendary R&B singer Chaka Khan has enjoyed decades of musical success. In 1973, Khan joined forces with Kevin Murphy and Andre Fisher to form the group Rufus. In 1978, she recorded and released “I’m Every Woman” which Whitney Houston covered a decade later, paying homage to the music diva in the lyrics. In 1982, Khan released Echoes of an Era and in 1990 won a Grammy for “I’ll Be Good to You.” In a career spanning more than two decades, Khan has won eight Grammys and received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Black Entertainment Network (BET). With three platinum albums and seven gold albums, Khan has returned to the studio and will release an album later this year. She is currently performing in various cities and reconnecting with fans.

$49.00 / $59.00 / $79.00 / plus entertainment tax and service fee.

Purchase Tickets

Looks like there are more changes are coming to the north end of the Las Vegas Strip: there are several reports that the New Frontier is being sold to real estate mogul Yitzhak Tshuva for 1.5 billion dollars. Tshuva most recent high profile purchase was the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Phil Ruffin has denied that the sale has happened, but indications are that the deal will go through.

The New Frontier was built in 1942 and has been the speculation of many rumors over the last few years. With all the new construction going on around it, it is not surprising that it would not stick around in its current form for long. The New Frontier’s current owner, Phil Ruffin, at one point was planning on making a jazz-themed resort named Montreaux on the site. Ruffin bought the property in 1997 for $165 million.

The area around the New Frontier has been on a building boom recently. Donald Trump is building Luxury condos on a site next door, which used to be part of the original Frontier lot. Across the street, Wynn is adding a second tower. Just north of the property the Stardust was imploded to make way for the Echelon Resort.

Tshuva plans on turning the place into luxury condos.
