Ha, I kind of like the giant ferris wheel. I hope it's built somewhere, either on the Ho site or the Frontier site.

Didn't Streamline tower have a groundbreaking ceremony like two years ago? Guess that doesn't matter I'll just be happy if it actually starts construction.

From the Review-journal this weekend, some residents of the John S Park neighborhood fight for a proposed height restriction in an area near downtown.

The proposed ordinance is a response to concerns that high-rises would ruin views, block sunlight and destroy the feel of the John S. Park neighborhood, a collection of 444 homes between Charleston and Oakey boulevards, east of Las Vegas Boulevard.

Passage of the ordinance would mark at least a partial retreat from the vision of a "Manhattanized" Las Vegas core that Mayor Oscar Goodman and other officials have for years championed as a key to revitalizing downtown
