Water Street Revival Looms with Three More Restaurants En Route

One of the busiest revivals in the region is taking place on the southern end of Henderson’s Water Street and paperwork has been filed for two major projects that will add housing, retail, and three new restaurants.

Overseen by the same operators, the changes will overhaul the empty lot at 31 Water Street and the long-shuttered Henderson Town House Motor Lodge next door.

The current plan is to add retail and businesses to the motel space and build a second-floor restaurant and bar above the barbershop and former tavern on the ground floor.

On the parking lot footprint, a six-story building will be constructed, with 32 apartments and two more restaurants. The early proposal calls for one of the tenants to operate a “hot dog” concept.

The two sites are opposite the proposed UNLV Runnin’ Rebels-inspired Hardway 8 bar, a short distance from the substantial makeover at the Gold Mine Tavern, close to the soon-to-debut Juan’s Flaming Fajitas & Cantina and a quarter of a mile from the announced Flavor Flav’s & Vinnys Chicken & Pizza.

An estimated timetable for the two new developments has not been revealed.
