I hear from a good source that the entire palace station property is up for redevelopment: New Sports Arena, hopefully for a pro baseball team, 7 condo towers around the arena, and a casino. You heard it here first!

Do you mean basketball ? 'Arena' sounds like a place to play basketball.

Would that extend all the way down rancho/industrial to the old Scandia property???

If this happens, and other proposed projects follow through, in 2025 driving down the stretch of I-15 from 215 to 95 will be like a canyon of tall skyscrapers!!!

It was reported in a SEC filing a few months ago that Station Casinos and a partner had acquired all the land along the freeway from Palace Station all the way down to Desert Inn and west a few blocks, and that it would be a major mixed use development in the future. But there were no details at that time.

So yeah, that's the first I heard of an arena over there.

I wonder if they are confused with the Neon Lights development on the other side of the freeway? That has an arena in it's plans and a bunch of condo towers and was on the city planning agenda just last week.

I doubt Station Casinos will announce any new projects until after their privitization is finalized, though they did just apply for early grading on their Durango site.

MSUMIX, I hope you own stock in your company, I just got in a few months ago, and its up almost 50%. You guys are on fire! Any word if you'll be building the Fountainbleau project? Or working on the property at the New Frontier site? You guys seem to own that town. I still don't understand how or why your president Ron Tutor, also runs another whole seperate private company. How, Why, do you run 2 companies at once that do the same thing and compete against each other?

Nice find mdiederi. While the design of the condo tower is nothing spectacular to me, it does fit in with with the whole Palazzo/Venetian complex better than I thought. When they first announced that the Condo would be a modern glass and steel tower, I was picturing something very different that would really clash with its neighbors, but they seemed to have blended it pretty well.

I do love how newer developments on the Strip are being built right up close to the road. It'l give the Strip a much more denser urban look.

They did a nice job fitting the condo tower in with the overall project. And that tower will have amazing views thanks to Sands controlling direct North and South areas with low rise buildings.

Its ok, not really surpriseing, I was pictureing a more modern tower. The Palazzo was never really on my favorites.

The Windows are too god damn big.

The creativity that has gone into projects like CityCenter and Encore/Wynn is definately lacking here, but I still can't wait to see it.

This is nothing new, but I guess now the Las Palmas project has bought the land, so I guess it is closer to being a reality.

mdiederi · #**2532** Posted **Jun 8, 2007, 3:55 AM**

Sounds like they're gonna start the construction on that hotel pretty soon if they want to open it in 2009. It will be interesting to see how luxury non-gaming hotels do here, especially off the strip.

mdiederi · #**2535** Posted **Jun 8, 2007, 1:58 PM**

There is no Paradise Road entrance in the plans, but there is one on Riviera Boulevard.

Today's Las Vegas Review Journal printed version shows the official rendering for the Fontainebleau Resort Las Vegas and it's incredible. Trying to get the photo as it is not showing on the RJ online version for the article.

What??? Dang it. I was just there this morning. I could have grabbed a newspaper in the airport. Scan it and post it pretty please. Can't wait to see it.

BruceH · #**2538** Posted **Jun 9, 2007, 7:17 PM**

Here's the rendering for the Las Vegas Fontainebleau Resort. For the past 24 hours, Fontainebleau has been undergoing its foundation cement pour. I will post photos later to show its progress. Steel is now rising for the future convention center and parking garage. This is an incredible design and it's no surprise why it has been kept under wraps.

kinda looks like Staples Center in LA with a big tower next to it.

Here are two photos of the Las Vegas Fontainebleau Resort construction progress and foundation cement pour today. These were shot from the top of Sky Las Vegas luxury condo tower which is now open with more residents than I expected to be living in it.
