Thanks for clearing that up everyone. Regarding the banks who are responsiblefor this, I really hope Fontainebleau will set a prime example of these pricks and that they will be begging for mercy by the time everything is all said and done... At least the project is topped out and that most of the exterior work is completed at this point.

So the swine flu has made it to my town... Hopefully everything will turn out alright. Wish me luck

F'bleau... hopefully this will get completed.

Nice... You can see the first girders for the pedestrian bridge. The other section was put in place this past Monday.

interesting thing about the cosmo harmon pedestrian bridge - its about twice as high up as all the other bridges....

also on the news this morning - they mentioned that wynn might be in talks/ interested in buying back bellagio...and or even CIRCUS CIRCUS?!

i dont think that would be an addition to the wynn signature collection. Ha!

Cash cow... That's all the CC is. And a good one at that...

mac78130, Fontainebleau WILL GET COMPLETED!!! It's just a matter of when. Hopefully construction will not be slowed too much. Thank God it is topped out!!!

I’ll be flying to LV in the morning and be happily taking pictures for the next four days. We are staying at PH with a strip view. I hope to get a great vantage point for some citycenter shots for all of us. Viva Las Vegas BABY!

Circus Circus is being put up for collateral, so that's not for sale anymore.

Finally, the news that everyone wanted to hear. It's great to know that the Vegas economy will not have to sustain mass impact due to any closure of the project. 12,000 construction jobs continuing plus another 12,000 jobs upon opening wil be a strong start towards a turnaround for the city.

Now MGM, get back to work on saving the company itself

Shot of CityCenter.

JDRCRASH · #**6672** Posted **Apr 30, 2009, 6:13 PM**

Nice shots everyone. Good thing it's getting completed. It was my favorite Las Vegas development from this boom.

Krases · #**6673** Posted **Apr 30, 2009, 8:28 PM**

I am glad CityCenter is getting finished, but the news about Fontainblue really annoys me.

Not sure if this is a great source, but is FB really only 70% done? Huh.

They are nor referring to the height of the tower, the remaining 30% is interior and podium work.

The Crystals metal facade is starting to look nice, will look even better as it progresses.

Wow, that brushed metal color will look very cool across all the buildings. I'm betting it's not fun to attach it one slice at a time.
