Soffer has said he expects to open the 60-story-plus hotel tower – one of the tallest on The Strip – in late 2023. It's back under it's original owner – Jeffrey Soffer – who is teamed up with the deep-pocketed real estate wing of Koch Industries. Then there's the Fountainebleau, a hulking mass of steel that was never finished after starting construction in 2007. It is the first major hotel-casino to open on The Strip since the Cosmopolitan in 2011. He can also point to The Strip's newest mega-property, Resorts World, a three-hotel complex on the north end that opened last June. Hobson shot back: "By who?" When he views the future of the north, he can point with pride to his property, undergoing a $150 million renovation that includes what he calls "best-in-class" restaurants and a Moroccan-inspired Azilo "Ultra Pool” area, complete with a two-story, 10,000-foot LED TV screen. His pride in the north side was evident when host Sam Shad mentioned that the area was sometimes looked down upon by others in gaming. Hobson, who runs the Sahara property purchased by Alex Meruelo in 2018, sees positive signs all around him. From his perch as the president of the Sahara Las Vegas resort, Paul Hobson sees a lot of growing and building ahead for the north end of the Las Vegas Strip.
