==History==
The 3.5-acre site was previously the location of a nightclub, which opened in 1978 as Jubilation, became the Shark Club in 1988, and closed in 1996.<ref name=developer>{{cite news|title=Developer to build Vegas timeshare|newspaper=Las Vegas Sun|date=August 2, 2002|url=http://docs.newsbank.com/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info:sid/iw.newsbank.com:AWNB:LVS1&rft_val_format=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&rft_dat=1326E238EEF86DE8&svc_dat=InfoWeb:aggregated5&req_dat=1028A39C75C2B899|via=NewsBank}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Las Vegas nightlife timeline|newspaper=Vegas Seven|author=Martin Stein|date=December 22, 2011|url=http://vegasseven.com/2011/12/22/las-vegas-nightlife-timeline/|
By 1997, [[Grand Casinos]] had obtained an [[option (finance)|option]] to purchase the land, along with several adjacent parcels, which it hoped to develop as a major casino.<ref>{{cite news|title=Planning ahead|newspaper=Las Vegas Review-Journal|author=Dave Berns|date=August 21, 1997|url=http://docs.newsbank.com/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info:sid/iw.newsbank.com:AWNB:LVRB&rft_val_format=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&rft_dat=0FD38E8C6E65B601&svc_dat=InfoWeb:aggregated5&req_dat=1028A39C75C2B899|via=NewsBank}}</ref>
In 2000, [[Lakes Gaming]], which had spun off from Grand Casinos in 1998, announced plans for a $700-million non-gaming hotel project on the land, in a joint venture with local developer Brett Torino.<ref>{{cite news|title=Strip project to feature supersize retail stores|newspaper=Las Vegas Review-Journal|author=Jeff Simpson|date=August 3, 2000|url=http://docs.newsbank.com/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info:sid/iw.newsbank.com:AWNB:LVRB&rft_val_format=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&rft_dat=0FD3939706D862DE&svc_dat=InfoWeb:aggregated5&req_dat=1028A39C75C2B899|via=NewsBank}}</ref>
Lakes sold out its interest in the project to Torino in 2001, but retained ownership of the Shark Club parcel, revealing that it was in discussions with an undisclosed partner to build a timeshare project on the site.<ref>{{cite news|title=Lakes in LV shopping center, timeshare deals|newspaper=Las Vegas Sun|author=Grace Leong|date=January 2, 2002|url=http://lasvegassun.com/news/2002/jan/02/lakes-in-lv-shopping-center-timeshare-deals/|
[[Diamond Resorts International]], owner of the neighboring Polo Towers timeshare complex, announced plans for '''The Chateau''' in February 2002.<ref>{{cite news|title=Major time-share complex announced|newspaper=Las Vegas Review-Journal|author=Jeff Simpson|date=February 15, 2002|url=http://docs.newsbank.com/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info:sid/iw.newsbank.com:AWNB:LVRB&rft_val_format=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&rft_dat=0FD394BD45245005&svc_dat=InfoWeb:aggregated5&req_dat=1028A39C75C2B899|via=NewsBank}}</ref> A later report in August 2002 described the project as a joint venture between Diamond Resorts and Lakes Entertainment (the new name of Lakes Gaming).<ref name=developer />
Marriott Vacation Club bought out Lakes's interest in the project, including ownership of the land, in June 2003.<ref>{{cite news|title=Marriott in Las Vegas time-share sales pact|newspaper=Las Vegas Sun|date=April 4, 2003|url=http://docs.newsbank.com/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info:sid/iw.newsbank.com:AWNB:LVS1&rft_val_format=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&rft_dat=1326E1C768BABE18&svc_dat=InfoWeb:aggregated5&req_dat=1028A39C75C2B899|via=NewsBank}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Marriott closes deal on Chateau time-share resort|newspaper=Las Vegas Review-Journal|date=July 1, 2003|url=http://docs.newsbank.com/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info:sid/iw.newsbank.com:AWNB:LVRB&rft_val_format=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&rft_dat=0FC0BAF28DDF43B8&svc_dat=InfoWeb:aggregated5&req_dat=1028A39C75C2B899}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release|title=Lakes Entertainment, Inc. announces signing letter of intent to sell land in Las Vegas|publisher=Lakes Entertainment|date=April 7, 2003|url=http://www.lakesentertainment.com/investors/news_releases/archives/?func=newsreleases&nid=398282|
