Earlier this year, Greg Danz went before the North Las Vegas Planning Commission with variance requests for his property, Broadacres Swap Meet, 2930 Las Vegas Blvd. North, and the requests were unanimously denied.

"We wanted to make improvements to the property in the form of an entertainment area and a few other requests," Danz said. "But because the market is more than 30 years old, it doesn't conform to city code. It out-dates the code. The issue was that they wanted us to conform, but doing so would have cost 350 vendors their jobs."
