condominium-hotel units, and 19 bungalows. Reservations were being accepted at that time. The project was expected to total , with a total of 4,400 units. The complex was described as largely residential, while the retail portions would potentially range between and . According to reports at the time, the small casino would have either been , or would have ranged between and . A casino management instructor at UNLV told the Las Vegas Sun that he believed that the developers had failed to realize the true potential of including a larger casino. Sullivan said the small casino would not attempt to appeal to high rollers, stating that they "have their homes on the Strip. That's where they belong and the big casinos can afford to handle the wins and losses. When you have a smaller, more intimate casino like ours, that's not really something you can do."

At the time, Clooney said that the developers were considering a dress code for the casino "so that it will feel like you are walking into a more formal Las Vegas of a different age or a classic Monte Carlo casino." Some experts believed that enforcing a dress code would decrease the number of potential customers to the casino by appealing only to a small customer base, while a member of the Nevada Gaming Control Board's enforcement division was unsure if the dress code would be legal because of a law that required gambling to be conducted within view of the general public.

Clooney spoke about the project during an appearance on Larry King Live on February
