A 60-story resort called Harlem Nights is being proposed for Las Vegas in the neighborhood of Historic Westside.

Shlomo Meiri, a self-described “crazy developer” based in Beverly Hills, California, owns the nearly 2-acre site and wants the project to act as a catalyst for other investment and development in the area, which he thinks has the potential to become another tourism area.

The project calls for a 687-foot-tall tower — taller than Hard Rock International’s planned 660-foot-tall guitar-shaped tower on the Strip — that will include 764 hotel rooms and 458 residential units. It will also feature casino space, a 900-seat theater, retail shops and a restaurant as well as a bar on the top floor of the building.

Meiri said the resort will be themed after Harlem in New York City during the 1920s and 1930s, and it will also take inspiration from the 1989 film “Harlem Nights,” starring Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy.
