A billionaire Las Vegas Strip resort owner told Nevada regulators he plans to renovate and expand the Circus Circus Las Vegas hotel-casino.
Phil Ruffin won final Nevada Gaming Commission approval on Thursday to buy the 51-year-old property for $825 million from MGM Resorts International.
He says he plans to add a swimming pool complex including sand beaches on vacant land nearby.
Ruffin is a friend and business partner with President Donald Trump in the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas.
