Key Points
- Moves about 3,156 acres of federal land into a protected trust status for the Las Vegas Paiute Tribe, making it part of the Tribe’s reservation.
- Requires the Interior Department to survey the land and set the official boundaries within 180 days after the law takes effect.
- Requires the Tribe to grant a roughly 300-foot-wide path for a high-voltage power line tied to existing renewable energy transmission agreements.
- Bans all casino-style gaming on this specific land, so it can’t be used for new gaming development.
- Does not settle water rights questions and says existing agreements with the City of Las Vegas stay in place.
