A new four-story Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites is set to open October 30 at 5575 N. Lamb Blvd. near Interstate 15 in northeast North Las Vegas, bringing 117 rooms to a stretch of the valley better known for warehouses and jet noise than hotel marquees. Nigro Construction marked the milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, capping a project that cost $19 million to build.
The hotel was developed by Nigro Development and built by Nigro Construction, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which reported the ribbon-cutting and project cost. The Review-Journal identifies Cory Frank as Nigro Construction’s vice president of business development and project management and says Nigro Construction, the owners’ construction business, built the hotel. The hotel sits on a 2.43-acre lot, according to Zillow.
Nigro Construction actually broke ground on the site back in June 2025, holding an official groundbreaking ceremony at Lamb Boulevard and Nexus Way, according to Nigro Construction. That puts the project on roughly a 16-month build timeline from dirt to ribbon-cutting. The hotel's location was no accident — it sits near Nellis Air Force Base, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and a cluster of warehouses and distribution centers, positioning it to serve travelers working at those nearby sites or attending speedway races and events, the article notes.
A Niche Built on Non-Gaming Guests
Frank told the Review-Journal that convention attendees often spread out around the Las Vegas valley rather than clustering on the Strip, a pattern that helps explain demand for limited-service hotels in the northeast corridor. The Nellis Complex, which includes Nellis Air Force Base, Creech Air Force Base, and the Nevada Test and Training Range, generates roughly $5.26 billion in economic benefits and supports more than 70,000 people, including dependents, military and civilian employees, contractors, and retirees, according to the Nellis Complex Compatible Use Plan. NASCAR race weekends typically have an estimated local economic impact of $200 million to $250 million; the 2018 race generated $277.1 million, per the Las Vegas Sun.
Warehouses and distribution centers in the surrounding industrial corridor may draw travelers working at nearby sites. Industrial asking rents across the valley climbed to $14.40 per square foot annually in 2024, a 60% jump since 2019 fueled by e-commerce demand along I-15, per CBRE.
Developers With Deep Roots in the Valley
This is not the Nigro family's first hotel at this intersection. Developers opened a 119-room TownePlace Suites across the intersection in 2022, and the family has developed several small hotels around Southern Nevada. The company focuses on non-gaming commercial and hospitality projects, according to Nevada Business Magazine.
Nigro Construction's broader portfolio focuses on healthcare, industrial, and other commercial projects, per the company. Before the Fairfield project, Nigro Development had already opened a Residence Inn and a Fairfield Inn & Suites in 2019, the TownePlace Suites North Las Vegas in 2022, and SpringHill Suites at Decatur Commons in 2023, according to WhatNow. Ed Nigro, who founded Nigro Development, also launched the Las Vegas-based lender now known as GBank, which was originally called Bank of George.
What Guests Will Find When Doors Open
The hotel is designed to serve corporate and speedway travelers.
The opening fits into a wider pattern of non-gaming investment reshaping North Las Vegas. Hylo Park, a $380 million lifestyle and sports complex, is also under development with planned youth sports venues, retail space, and dedicated hotel capacity. Together, the projects point to a city betting on logistics workers, airmen, and race fans rather than casino tourists to fill its newest rooms.
