ever been to the hooters hotel?

apparently no one has either!

the new owners are going to RENOVATE and DETHEME the palce as a 'hip' modern boutique hotel... (as early as this summer)

seems like hooters became a c*ck fest.... guys would go there, but the only girls would be the ones working there.

WOW! TWO HUGE MILESTONES!

Jeez, I remember when they installed the lettering on Wynn. Seems like so long ago now...

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet or not, but Panorama Tower 4 is cancelled.

Here is a few shots m wife took for me while she was out in LV this weekend.

Are we sure that is not the Nike 'Swoosh' on the tower? Maybe that is the final sign ?

Silas · #**3888** Posted **Mar 10, 2008, 9:27 PM**

I think PH Tower(s) is going to look good. The dark blue glass will probably be a nice contrast to all the light/white/beige buildings of PH, Paris, Signature and especially Marriott Chateau. Hopefully they'll break up the pattern in some way. Let's see.

Any knowledge whether they will build one tower or two?

We know some of the giant Ferris wheel that was to be built in Las Vegas?

Silas,
Here is a link to the Westgate Resorts site that has photos the PH Towers rendering. The final will not be so art-deco though. As you can see there will be two towers with a center part joining them.

Thanks T -

I have seen that proposed design. With the real estate/ time share market in transition, I wonder if they will follow through with the second tower. Time will tell .....

This picture is positively amazing! All the different styles of Architecture. The Cosmopolitan + Jockey Club + Bellagio clash looks so intresting, it looks as if its construction going on at a hilly european town. I cant wait to see Cosmo finally done! I've been waiting for this project!

That dense area with all the massive and, more importantly, classy and assuming buildings will truly live up to its title of the City Center. While I'm not too excited about individual building designs there (yet I'm happy that they're not cheesy prefab crap), they will surely make one hell of a presense.

neworleans · #**3895** Posted **Mar 11, 2008, 1:19 AM**

i'm not sure what we're going to celebrate first...the completion of the Harmon or the year 3000!!! j/k

Patrick · #**3896** Posted **Mar 11, 2008, 1:37 AM**

^Yes, its taking awfully long for such a simple building.

Now I am curious,

Will the North bound views from Mandarin, Veer and Harmon be negatively impacted not only be each other but by the Cosmo as well?? Will Veer be almost land locked located between all the other structures as well as the two walls that face each other?? I am trying to figure out how this will play out as far as the architecture blending in with the practical usage of the facilities especially in regards to the views. I will be back in Vegas Thursday to see if I can see for myself and talk with the folks at City Center and Cosmo.

Seeing these new megaprojects (CityCenter) next to what used to be 'mega' (Bellago, Circus, etc.) - I can't help but wondering what things will be like in 10, 20 years.

At a certain point, they will be limited by humans, in terms of the physical size of a facility, how far one can be expected to move to get from the parking garage to their room, shopping, food, etc.

As it is, it can be quite an ordeal for some visitors to get around with the size and complexity of these facilities - imagine CityCenter, but 2, 3, 4X as large.

Those are some impressive pics. I like they very much so. Very kewl...

neworleans · #**3900** Posted **Mar 14, 2008, 7:02 AM**

if u look closely at the harmon, there are no columns rising off the top floor. does anybody know if they've decided to stop work on it?
