An 81-room hotel in Bullhead City, Arizona, with a tangential connection to a legendary Las Vegas casino builder, is scheduled to go to auction next month with a minimum bid of $1.3 million.
The extended stay Sun Valley Suites hotel is located at 336 Lee Avenue and was built in 1978. The property sits on just over 2.3 acres, several blocks from the banks of the Colorado River.
Designated as a Class B building, the two-story hotel, comprising nearly 34,000 square feet, was extensively renovated in 2019.
The hotel was formerly known as the Nevada Club Inn, and as such was part of a handful of hotels owned by businessman Del Webb, who got his start in the casino industry as a contractor for the notorious Bugsy Siegel.
Webb developed the Sahara hotel and casino in Las Vegas, as well as the Nevada Club hotel in Laughlin, Nevada, and the Bullhead City Nevada Club Inn, which for years was advertised as being in the “Heart of Old Bullhead.”
The coming auction, which will be held between February 13 and 16, is being held by CRBE’s Phoenix office.
