Facts of Steve Sisolak

  • Sisolak, a Las Vegas Boulevard South property owner, received a total of $23.5 million in 2005 after the airport refused to pay him for height restrictions imposed on a parcel he owned.
  • Officials at McCarran warned that compensating property owners who lost land value as a result of the height restrictions could cost more than $1 billion, increasing the cost of air travel to and from Las Vegas.
  • Nonetheless, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled that landowners can seek compensation if planes flying below 500 feet interfere with their ability to build high-rise buildings.
  • Sisolak claimed that his property, which he purchased before Clark County imposed height restrictions, had been devalued and that he was entitled to compensation.
  • “Governor of Nevada,” his Instagram bio reads. Dad, you should be proud of yourself. Defending Nevada families and Nevada priorities.”
