Las Vegas Paiute Tribe would get 3,156 acres of federal land for their reservation
A bill would transfer about 3,156 acres of federal land to be held in trust for the Las Vegas Paiute Tribe, making it part of their reservation. This land would come with conditions, including a ban on casino-style gaming and a required path for power lines. This change would give the Tribe more control over the land. It would also require them to allow for renewable energy infrastructure.
Today, about 3,156 acres of land in Southern Nevada are managed by the Bureau of Land Management and are not held in trust for the Las Vegas Tribe of Paiute Indians. If this bill becomes law, these approximately 3,156 acres would be transferred to the United States to be held in trust for the Tribe, making them part of their reservation, but with specific rules prohibiting casino gaming and requiring a path for power lines.
