Station receives deferral for landscaping work at Wildfire Casino

A deferral of offsite trail and landscape improvements on Boulder Highway adjacent to the Wildfire Casino was unanimously approved at the Oct. 21 Henderson City Council Meeting.

Station Casinos, which owns Wildfire, must provide trail and landscape improvements in conjunction with renovations to the building along Boulder Highway as part of the Boulder Highway Beautification Plan.

The trail and landscape section will consist of a 10-foot-wide meandering asphalt trail that is 230 feet long with landscaping and trail lighting.

The Parks and Recreation Department supported a deferral of trail and landscape improvements along Boulder Highway. The applicant must post a bond for $66,971.30 within 30 days.
