But the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Tuesday that interior construction was to begin this week and that the key in allowing the renovation to finally get under way was SBE\u2019s obtaining \u201cthe last piece of the $415 million in financing\u201d it needed for the project. That funding reportedly came through the federal EB-5 program, which encourages foreign investment into U.S. businesses that will create jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring more than 1,600 rooms and suites, the hotel-casino is scheduled to open in fall 2014. SLS Las Vegas will join the SLS Hotel Beverly Hills and The Redbury in Los Angeles and The Raleigh and SLS Hotel South Beach in Miami.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/las-vegas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Las Vegas<\/a> property will include at least four restaurants: The Bazaar by Jos\u00e9 Andr\u00e9s, Katsuya by Starck, Umami Burger and The Griddle Caf\u00e9, as well as four \u201cnightlife experiences,\u201d including Shelter and The Sayers Club.<\/p>\n<p>The 10,000 square feet of retail will be handled exclusively by Fred Segal, which will operate seven boutiques there.
