Thanks for the pic. I like the matte bronze look. It'll provide a great contrast to the brighter colors of Veer and Harmon.

Vegas is well on its way to having the most unique skyline out there.

These building complexes truly make Las Vegas even more unique adding different styles to the already interesting and diverse skyline. It's nice to see modern/ sleek glass skyscrapers in Las Vegas.

FB has a good point. There is a big conflict of interest there.

We can only hope that FB wins this lawsuit. I just hope it doesn't drag on for too long.

Looks like the canoes are all in place. All those palm trees in the pool area look very nice.

One year ago from today, May 14, CityCenter commemorated the topping out of Vdara.

Wow. Its just one thing after another.

Luckily this lawsuit is an order of magnitude smaller than the other suites going on. It seems like its only over 2 million dollars.

Since everything these days is over billions of dollars, not millions, this lawsuit seems to be small potatos if you ask me... However, it's still another pain in the ass for Fontainebleau that they could do without...

It's been stalled for months. Nothing is happening on the site. An updated photo would only show more dust on the beams.

You know, I still think the Harmon will turn out pretty nice! Maybe they can eventually figure out how to reinforce the defects and build it to its full height. Look what they did with the Hilton many years ago when they doubled its height.
