MHA Nation unveils $2 billion casino-resort project for Las Vegas Strip
The Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, also known as the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation, have submitted plans for a $2 billion casino-resort project on 23 acres of land south of the Las Vegas Strip. Tribal Chairman Mark Fox has worked with architecture firm Steelman Partners to develop the proposal, which includes a 15,000-20,000 seat event center. The tribe has acquired multiple properties in the area since 2020. While some tribal members question the project’s focus, officials remain cautiously optimistic about its potential.
