Nochi Dankner
The IDB side of the Las Vegas Plaza venture
An Israeli business figure connected to the IDB investment in the former New Frontier site.
A joint venture on the Strip
Business reporting identifies Dankner’s IDB group alongside Tshuva’s Elad in the planned Las Vegas Plaza. The venture acquired the Frontier site for redevelopment. It should not be confused with the existing Plaza hotel in downtown Las Vegas. [1] [2]
The proposal and its aftermath
The partners sought extensions of acquisition financing while the proposed resort remained unbuilt. A Crown-led venture acquired control of the land in 2014. The record illustrates how buying a major Strip parcel and financing a completed resort are different milestones. [1] [3]
