Construction has officially begun for the SLS Hotel & Casino EB-5 project!
The SLS Hotel & Casino project, currently being offered as an EB-5 investment opportunity under the Regional Center Charter of the American Dream Fund, has officially started construction.
The SLS Hotel & Casino project has sought EB-5 investors to participate in the capital raise for the redevelopment and rebranding of the former Sahara Hotel & Casino located in the Las Vegas Strip, a prime location with peak demand for luxury, lifestyle facilities in tune with modern trends. 
American Dream Fund, the regional center behind the EB-5 offering of the SLS Hotel & Casino EB-5 project, is no stranger to bringing quality EB-5 projects to market. The W Hotel, a completed EB-5 project in the Hollywood area, allowed foreign families to become US residents through an EB-5 investment in an approved Regional Center project in the United States.
With an abundance of jobs created per investor, the SLS Hotel & Casino easily attracts EB-5 investors who are looking to become US residents through an EB-5 investment in a project located in a TEA area, which qualifies for a US$ 500,000.00 minimum investment.

This coming March, Exclusive Visas will be holding various meetings in Brazil, with prospect EB-5 investors, attorneys, and immigration agents in the country.

Our stringent due diligence process gives our clients peace of mind in knowing that an extensive research has been conducted on the projects and its principals”, said Renata Castro.
