While Vegas-watchers had their eye on a classic neon sign, Vegas Vickie<\/a>, coming down on Fremont Street, they missed news of much greater significance.<\/p>\n

Derek Stevens, owner of The D, Golden Gate and a new resort on its way to the former Las Vegas Club site (referred to as “18 Fremont”), recently closed a land deal that opens the door for dramatic changes to downtown Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Stevens purchased a site known as P\/Q, part of Symphony Park. Here’s a look at the parcel from a perspective you know you’re only going to get on this blog.<\/p>\n

\"PQ
Pretty much the first dirt lot that’s ever made us giddy. Just keep reading.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Symphony Park is a rather nebulous name for a district downtown Las Vegas has long had high hopes for. Symphony Park home to The Smith Center for the Performing Arts, Discovery Children’s Museum and Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health.<\/p>\n

The roughly 6.4-acre site sits behind the Plaza casino, not far from another parcel Stevens purchased in October 2016<\/a>. That parcel sits between the Plaza and Main Street Station casino. Vegas-watchers missed that sale, too. Hey, we do what we can.<\/p>\n

Here’s another look.<\/p>\n
