A Las Vegas-based company plans to build one of the largest casinos in Carson City.
A design firm has submitted plans to build a 107,000-square-foot building for Golden Gaming Inc. that includes a casino, 220-room hotel and parking garage.
The casino, called Sierra Gold in the plans, would be at the corner of Highway 50 and Lompa Lane by an entrance to the Highway 395 bypass.
Golden Gaming runs casinos in Colorado and Pahrump and taverns throughout the state, including Sparky's in Carson City.
The Las Vegas-based design firm, Steelman Partners, has worked on casinos in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Chicago, Moscow and China.
The plans will be reviewed by the city planners Tuesday.
Builders will also have to get a special permit for the 112-foot building. The height limit for a building like that is 45 feet.
The space would also hold restaurants, a 750-space parking garage and 13,000 square feet of conference space.
