LAS VEGAS, Nev. — The Three Affiliated Tribes on the Fort Berthold Reservation has finalized the purchase of its third property in Las Vegas.

The finalization of a 1.1-acre site, at a $10.25 million price, took place last week. It is the site of the former White Sands Motel, located in proximity of the tribe’s other property holdings.

Mark Fox, tribal chairman, said regardless of what their plans are for the property, the former motel building will be torn down and the site cleaned up.

Earlier the tribe purchased slightly more than 8 ½ acres, located one block from the Las Vegas Strip and across the street from a 13-acre site also purchased. The 13-acre site, located across from the Luxor, is known as the Village property and was the site of the mass shooting at the 2017 Route 91 Harvest Festival. When the tribe purchased that property from MGM Resorts International it was agreed two acres would be removed from the transaction for the construction of a memorial there.

Fox said the properties are investments for the tribe and its membership.
