In 1980, Vegas legend Wayne Newton, provided the start up money for a new casino. It was to be named the Shenandoah, after the valley of the same name in Virginia, where Newton was raised.
The Shenandoah was built at 120 East Flamingo Rd. It was flanked by The Maxim and Barbary Coast--now Bill's Gambling Hall and Saloon.
The Shenandoah was nine floors high and had 166 guest rooms. There were no table games in the casino, just slots. It was designed to be a low key Vegas establishment.
By 1984, the Shenandoah still had not opened and the project went bankrupt.
