3883 Hughes is under construction.

And Majestic isn't dead, right?

^ I believe it's still active, they did change the design.

Glad to see you posting again Jaz, site is looking good, it's nice to see the site evolving and expanding over time, good job.

Town Center is under construction, and I'm not sure if the Hard Rock Residences is totally dead yet, but it's pretty close, I'd catagorize it as Unknown

The Station Casino’s are joining the craze
Red Rock Residences


The newest addition to the Stations: Red Rock Casino is opening April 18th and following close behind, Red Rock Residences, will break ground around October. This new phenomenal highrise project on the horizon is being developed by three of Las Vegas' most successful and multigenerational developers. The Fertittas, Molaskys, and Cloobecks are respected for the success and quality of their projects. With the strength of these local developers and the location of the project The Residences at Red Rock will be a very desirable project.

When a Residence is connected to a Casino, it means more then just an elevator ride to slot machines; it means you get a piece of the pool, spa, and amenities available to casino visitors only it’s your backyard. More than three acres of poolside perfection will beckon at your bare feet, with 19 irresistible private cabanas, swim up gaming and an exotic island. Or, cruise over to the Sand Bar, where you can enjoy refreshing bites, cool cocktails and frou-frou drinks galore.

The Residences are being built in the fastest growing community in the United States, Summerlin. Located to the west of the Las Vegas strip at the base of the beautiful Red Rock Mountains, Red Rock Residences will be a part of Station Casino's one billion dollar plus Red Rock Casino and Spa.

With the strip on one side and the wondrous mountains of Red Rock on the other who can refuse such a project, truly the best of both worlds. The Penthouses as well as selected units will encompass the spectacular beauty of both directions.

I was so sad when I saw the Ivana canceled... :( However, I am so glad to see the Wall Street Towers being build along with a few others that have just started construction. I was wondering though, even though the Trump Tower Hotel will be 64 floors, why such a low height? I mean 622 feet divided by 64 floors doesn't even equal 10 feet between floors, it will probably not have high ceilings, that's my explanation... In condos where people will be paying top dollar and especially in the penthouses poeple will want ceilings. Who knows though, they may suprise us and build them higher yet and emporis might have the figures wrong, they need to dramatically update their Las Vegas Page, they don't even have the Club Renaissance listed as under construction. Also since there are 2 Trump towers, is one going to strictly be hotel and the other strictly condo? I should start a thread just for the Trump Towers, Stanhi, and Club Renaissance even though I can't get frequent pictures of them, they would be great places for people to share updates.:) Anyway lemme know what you guys think.:D

Also, if Trump is using concrete that might explain the fact that they might not need as much space between floors as they would steel... That's all I could think of for that.

was the stratosphere SO great that is should be replicated? Not really

Birmingham thinks otherwise!

City's skyscraper theme park plan

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image...0_pinnacle.jpg

The tower is similar to the Stratosphere casino in Las Vegas
A £60m skyscraper with theme park rides and a restaurant at the top could be built in Birmingham.
The 175m (574ft) Birmingham Pinnacle will be built next to Millennium Point, if the city council approves the plans.

Rides include a high level seesaw, a freefall parachute drop, a bungee drop and a 50-passenger gyro ride.

The building would be the Midlands' tallest, the first of its kind in Europe and would resemble the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas.

Richard Pawley, chairman of ROC International Towers which is behind the proposal, said he had been working with Birmingham City Council for the past 12 months.

In 2003, the council said it encouraged well placed, high quality tall buildings that would enhance the city's image.

Mr Pawley said: "The leisure market is set to grow steadily over the next few years and the challenge for us has been to find innovative ways to capture people's imagination. I am sure this theme park will do that."

'Vertical entertainment centre'

Councillor Ken Hardeman, cabinet member for regeneration, said he thought the Pinnacle would be a "magnet" for visitors.

It is hoped that it would attract one million visitors in the first 12 months.

Birmingham City Council confirmed it had been in discussion with the developers and is "broadly supportive of their proposals". It anticipates a planning application "in due course".

If plans are approved, developers said they hope that the "vertical entertainment centre" would be open within two years.

The building would be illuminated by lasers at night and visitors can view the city from an observation point from the top two storeys.

Due for completion later this year, Beetham Tower will become Birmingham's tallest building at 122m (400ft).

The 39-floor tower will include 160 apartments, a hotel and health club.

Looking over the agendas, I found that six 22 story (268 ft) condo towers have been proposed for Hughes Center on Paradise & Sands. http://dsnet.co.clark.nv.us/dsnetapp...a/P0170245.htm

Wierd huh? Well I already added them to the database

Friday drive by
 

With their great web site, and huge amount of financial investment in the project so far, not to mention the best looking condo tower, amenities wise, I have total belief Club Renasiance will be built. But having it listed as under cunstruction is still to premature, most of the old houses are still on-site. There is no trailer, no fencing and no ground work to speak of.
And for Streamline, behind the plywood fence only a level dirt lot exists.
I'm not negative on these properties, I just want to keep the thread up to date and factual.
By the way, the red and white tower cranes at Sky are cool looking.
And I was wondering who had such a large creeper crane up behind the Union Plaza. The Molasky center.

^^^^^ i thought club ren construction would not jump track as fast as it sounded.....:shrug: ....whats to come......?

YES THESE ARE FAKE!

so remember a while back, i mention this movie: DOMINO? well here are some screencaps of the ending.......(its not ruining the movie for ya- its shown in the trailer that the stratosphere gets blown)

Wow cool screencaps, I love movies with destruction :) Finally Vegas get something destroyed in a new movie.

Wow, nice special effects, that is awesome.

the vegas888 sales office is almost complete, they are putting pavment down.

palms place now has an erected crane up (they shall go vertical soon!)

Hey guys.. It looks like the forum has slowed down.. The development hasn't, except it seems that there aren't as many new proposals coming out like there were a few months ago. Where is everyone?
Great news on Palms place and I noticed that Molasky(sp?)Center is up to the second floor it looks like. It seems to be going up pretty fast. Allure is sprouting up at a pretty good pace as well. I wonder what they are going to do with the plot of land on the other side of allure next to HGVC. Anyone know?
