901 Desert Inn Road
The
Casino Never Opened
The
WORLD TRADE CENTER was located at 901 Desert Inn Road.
This 225 room casino was build by Leonard Shoden at the cost of $25,000,000.00
during the mid 1990s. Mr Shoden was the founder of U-haul Rental Company and
was always his dream to own a casino.
Now lets go back a few years. The casino was built, the hotel was open with
guests and the restaurants were serving food.
The gaming license was applied for and approved. They were days away from opening.
The casino was filled with table games, blackjack, roulette and craps. Slots
lined the walls. Employees were hired and approved by the control board. Then,
with a few days to go, Mr Shoden was found dead! He had just left the casino
and was on his way home. Still to this day the mystery is Unsolved.
