THE STRIP BELONGS TO THE LOCALS.
WELCOME TO RED SUPERNOVA.
You built this city with your hands, your shifts, and your tips. Why does Wall Street own the dirt? We are acquiring the 102-acre Circus Circus footprint, shading 40 acres of blazing asphalt with a 24-megawatt Solar Flare microgrid, and returning every dollar of gaming profit to the people of Clark County.
These are the campaign's goals, not a running total. Pledges are non-binding expressions of interest and no tally is published during the pre-filing phase.
Circus Circus is tired.
Las Vegas locals are not.
In December 2019, Phil Ruffin purchased Circus Circus from MGM Resorts for $825 million. He openly called it a "land play." And he was right: 102 acres at the north end of the Strip, directly opposite the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall and Fontainebleau.
Today, the property is trapped in deferred maintenance, pink circus stripes from 1968, and a massive expanse of cracked, baking blacktop. Corporate gaming operators look at locals as foot soldiers to be taxed with $45 resort fees, $25 parking, and 6-to-5 blackjack.
"100 people contributing 1% each is 100%. When 100,000 Clark County residents own the mortgage, patronize the restaurants, and care for the machines, we don't need predatory fees. The profit stays in Nevada."
- ✓ No Resort Fees for Locals: Zero junk charges for Clark County residents forever.
- ✓ Free Shaded Solar Parking: 10,500 covered stalls generating clean megawatts.
- ✓ Labor & Union Representation: 3 permanent employee-owner seats on the Board of Trustees.
The Solar Flares Canopy.
Turning 40 Acres of Boiling Asphalt into Power.
Las Vegas receives over 3,800 hours of relentless sunshine every year. At Circus Circus, that sun beats down on 40 acres of empty asphalt, creating a 130°F heat island. We are erecting the largest urban solar canopy in North America—sculpted cantilevered steel structures finished in cosmic crimson and radiant solar gold, fitted with kinetic LED flare lighting that pulses across the sky at dusk.
24.5 Megawatts
Bifacial photovoltaic glass generates 49 million kWh annually, powering 100% of the casino floor and feeding excess energy into NV Energy's grid during peak 4-9 PM rates.
10,500 Shaded Stalls
Shading the entire parking field drops ground temperature by 25°F. Clark County co-op owners receive an RFID solar windshield pass for guaranteed free lifetime parking.
The Nebula Dome
The 5-acre indoor Adventuredome is upgraded into the Nebula Dome: zero-gravity simulation, immersive LED flight simulators, and family entertainment powered by on-site clean energy.
The Fusion Stage
The 37-acre Festival Grounds become a permanent solar-canopied festival park for community gatherings, Latin music festivals, rock concerts, and local food truck markets.

How Nevada Gaming Law Protects Resident Owners
Many ask: "Can normal residents actually own a casino without getting a gaming license?" Yes. Nevada has regulated public corporations and holding companies for decades.
The Under-5% Retail Rule
Under Nevada Gaming Commission regulations, any shareholder holding less than 5% of voting securities is exempt from background checks and suitability filings. Since our largest household share is under 0.05%, zero retail members require personal gaming licenses.
The Land is Protected
The 102 acres of real estate is held by the Member Land Cooperative (PropCo). The casino floor is operated by a vetted, fully licensed gaming management company (OpCo) on a master lease. Even in adverse gaming scenarios, the dirt remains 100% owned by the community.
One Member, One Vote
Organized under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 81 (Cooperative Corporations), the Board of Trustees is elected democratically by Clark County resident districts. Speculators cannot buy up voting control and dismantle our community asset.
The Civic Campaign & Billboard Suite
High-converting billboards along the I-15 and 215 Beltway, union breakroom posters, radio spots, and digital campaigns designed to mobilize 100,000 households.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can normal Clark County residents really buy an $800M+ Strip property? ▼
Yes. Like any major commercial acquisition, the capital stack is layered: $550M senior secured debt from regional commercial banks, $125M in C-PACE green energy financing and federal IRA tax credits, and $250M in community equity from 100,000 Clark County residents investing an average of $2,500. This is the exact playbook private equity uses—except the dividend goes to you instead of a hedge fund.
Do I need to pass a Nevada Gaming Control Board background check? ▼
No. Under Nevada Gaming Commission Regulations 15 and 16, retail shareholders holding less than 5% of voting securities in a registered holding company are fully exempt from individual licensing. The day-to-day gaming floor is run by licensed executive key employees approved by the NGCB.
How does "Own Your Machine" work in practice? ▼
Under Nevada gaming regulations, route operating licenses require strict custody of terminal keys and logic boards. At Red Supernova, you sponsor an active terminal on the floor. Your name is honored on a physical brass and digital OLED plaque on that machine, and 30% of the cooperative's quarterly dividend pool is allocated directly to active machine sponsors based on terminal performance and member participation.
How does the 24 MW Solar Flares canopy handle Las Vegas desert winds? ▼
The canopy uses heavy-duty, aerodynamic cantilevered structural steel engineered to withstand 110 mph gust events (well above Clark County building code requirements). The bifacial panels generate energy from direct overhead sunlight and ground reflection, producing 49M kWh annually while shading 10,500 vehicles.
What happens to current Circus Circus employees? ▼
Every current frontline worker is retained with full union seniority recognition, plus granted an automatic $500 founding employee-owner equity stake with 3 reserved seats on the Board of Trustees.
