I hope they leave Paris alone, the quality of detailing and materials looks top notch (for Vegas.)

I don't see much difference between those drawings and the final design.

bellagios the same - the casino in wynn was drawn black n white - there is a larger garden in encore - and the tree feature in macau was gonna go in encore., there is also a sneak at wynn monico.

Click on Wynn Las vegas and scroll through the pictures until you come to the last few. It looks really different.

Alrighty then... now with the cladding on, I'm liking this marginally more... Will withhold further judgement until the project is done...

I find it endlessly entertaining that the biggest mindf**k of a building in Vegas is a brain institute. Can you imagine bringing mental patients up to what probably looks like a carnival funhouse to them? That aside, it's looking fantastic.

It's also another tourist attraction that people can add to their "to-do" list and can swing by and snap a photo of it!

With this, City Center, Cloud Nine, the 855 foot bungee jump off the Stratosphere, and the eventual Mob Museum, Las Vegas will have a hell of a lot going for it and all above will only add to the several reasons to visit!

Call me strange, but I am honostly excited for construction to resume on Fontainebleau and for that project to finally finish up eventually. I do not know when that will be, but it will happen and that when it does it will be amazing! Despite all the current shit that is going on, Las Vegas currently and always will have that shimmering glow to it that no other could possibly ever have.

Who knows, maybe mental patients see it as a perfectly normal, quietly inviting building with flat walls, a sweeping veranda, and a nice comfortable porch swing.

Call me mental, but I like it.

Patients don't enter the building on the melted side. They enter on the opposite side that looks like a pile of blocks.

I find it oddly sick that a building that helps Alzheimer's sufferers is in the shape of a melted brain.

in news of the ritz closing casino monte lago is closing at lake las vegas as well

Also, it must've been a challenging pain in the ass for the builders/constructon workers. I'm guessing there was more than the typical amount of "wiat a minute, are you sure that piece is next? Let's check the drawings one more time."

[DowntownGymRat]

I'm actually bummed to see the Brain Institute turn out to be just a smaller Disney Concert Hall. I think it takes away from one of LA's great landmarks.

Anybody have any updates on the Cosmo? Looking at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone Bar webcam, it looks like there is at least something going on, but it's difficult to tell.

I am very familiar with the happenings of comso and can tell you that every phase of the project from casino floor to rec deck is under full time construction towards a 4th quarter 2010 completion date.

This project is going to finish out very nicely, some really unique features as well.. should be a refreshing contrast to the surrounding properties.

The casino to the Rec deck is only about 5 or 6 floors. What do you know about the rooms, as far as amenities or how they will be furnished?? How do you know what is going on??? Will they have cooking facilities, etc. Just curious as I do not see that much work going on above the casino and Rec. levels.
