Shit lol. Hmmm, kinda difficult to find shots on this project. Such a large scale project, yet we have no foot soldiers in the Vegas region to take pics. Surprisingly twitter is silent on the project.

Same here. Before the recession it was construction frenzy. I hope it picks up. Theres a couple of projects in the pipeline, but nothing too too big. This being really the only one. Eh, one day....

On the bright side, tourism numbers are rising, so in time due more hotels and towers will rise. I would like to see a residential boom though, and not just hotels/casinos. The region is adding homes, but cookie cutter developments suck. We need towers!

Wait, so the pictures last posted, are those buildings back in construction? I was going to say this project shot up fast lol.

timpdx · #69 Posted **Jul 10, 2015, 5:12 PM**

Resorts World is using the existing concrete building (Echelon) and continuing that construction,...its hard to tell from plans/rendering if and how much of the steel structure is going to be used.

As much as I would not want this built in my city, I don't this. It's Vegas, and this is what you would expect. These type of projects are interesting to look at and have a unique feel when up close. It fits perfectly in Vegas.

Taken last week, no work on the hotel tower but concrete being poured for the garage....

I'm surprised with the army of workers that Genting claimed, work on the hotel portion would start. (Unless maybe the hiring frenzy is still continuing?) I'd imagine though that this will accelerate once most of the deck is complete. At least if their time tables are aggressive like they claim.

^^ Not much progress?? its been a while, looks like the site hasn't changed much since I was there in July.

The # of gamblers who come to Las Vegas to gamble has fallen to about 25%. The baby boom generation were more the gamblers, who are now dying out, and the milennials are not gamblers. They'd rather blow their money on the multi-million dollar disco's, Hakasan charging $50 admittance on Fri. nights, and the drink prices are out of sight!

If there was some big money to be made from gambling, you can well believe that this Resorts World project would have been completed 2-3 years ago!

I have lingering doubts whether or not this project will ever get completed!

I have more faith in the Alon project further south, as they've already done sight work there in preparation for construction, and I think this project is the type of projects you'll see in the future in Las Vegas, mega hotel projects a thing of the past!

Alon will only have 1100 rooms, in 2 towers of 17 and 26 stories.

Ah! I caught that!

Anyone else? 1+7=8, 2+6=8.

Geared to the Asians/Chinese, 8 being their lucky, favorite number! 4's? The number they despise! Small wonder you don't see 4's among the elevator buttons at the Palazzo, and Wynn hotels, they've been removed! Note: after 39, the next number is 50!

I bet they don't skip numbers when they are counting money.

Anyone in the area for a picture update on this one? its been a few months, they should be done with the parking garages by now.

Highrise_Mike · #78 Posted **Jan 2, 2016, 6:16 AM**

I am in Vegas quite often to visit family, I will grab some shots of this when I am down next

What's the blue globe thingy on the side? It's hideous.
