Don Ahern, chairman of the board and CEO of construction equipment company Ahern Rentals, purchased the closed Lucky Dragon Hotel and Casino from Snow Covered Capital for $36 million.

The Asian-themed casino opened in December 2016 and was the first new casino in Las Vegas since Aria was opened in 2010. It was a $139 million project located just north of the strip.

The casino struggled from the start, however, and by March 2017, approximately 100 of the 800 employees were fired as a result of poor customer turnout. In September of that same year, the Lucky Dragon received a default notice on its $90 million loan.

In January 2018, the casino and restaurants were closed in an effort to reorganize the company and reopen within six months. A foreclosure notice was filed the following month. At the time of foreclosure, there was still $48.9 million remaining on the loan.

Snow Covered Capital, the resort’s main lender, took ownership of the property and set the opening bid for the property at $35 million at the foreclosure auction last October. It received no bids.
