They're holding back on the other buildings for the time being.

Makes sense. Union park will be great for diversifying the economy if they introduce a few office towers there. I remember seeing some of the early renders for that and was like "woah, thats huge".

An interesting article in the Las Vegas Sun about Sheldon Adelson/Las Vegas Sands.
"Adelson’s net worth shrunk by an estimated $13 billion."

What do you guys think, yay or nay?

mdiederi · #**5649** Posted **Jan 18, 2009, 3:23 PM**

Nay. Looks like a logo for a yogurt brand or something.

I wonder if the Crystals shopping center is behind schedule because from the polo webcam they are hard at work even on a Sunday morning.

Siemens who is installing the fire alarm system at Citycenter is under investigation for questionable maintenance at other facilities.

Thank you for your kind words. I visited the Fontainebleau sales center that day and they said they are still planning on selling 900 condotels on that center flat section of the tower from top to bottom. (The ones that face due south.) "No guarantee that they will become available however." I'll bet.

I snapped a few other pictures off from a balcony at Sky if you are interested but I already posted the best ones.

I wonder if there is some kind of protective film over the glass on top, it looks kinda funny

Wow mac78130, your finds are definetly a breath of fresh air! The shot looking down is definetly an interesting new vantage point of Fontainebleau showing once again just how much of an impact it is making! I also respect this project more than any other because they continue to move foward full steam ahead with their sleaves rolled up which cannot be said about numerous of other project right now in Las Vegas that are being put off for the time being. Then again it's still going to take quite some time to complete the Font's interiors since it's such a massive project!

Passed by this on the freeway the other day. There is definitely a color discrepancy. I hope it is a film so that it blends in with the rest of the building, which looks really slick.

Cool view.. The framing for the "people mover" station is being put into place
