Very impressive...the buildings and the photos. I Wonder how Wynn Encore is coming along?

This is a model of the (original concept?) Wynn Macau Phase 1 & 2. Found it on Google. The
Macau was not built like this model....But maybe Encore will be built like this model only
3X taller....600+ ft.

IMHO...buying units at MGM would be nice because you get the amenities of the MGM Grand.

Allure Las Vegas

The Palazzo at the Venetian

Turnberry Towers

Thanks for the pics!! Trump is looking great! I didnt know the Pallazo is already cladding in the back. Eww, Those Tunberry Elevator Shafts sure are ugly. Allure is starting to look great after all! And Sky looks perfect. Project CC is looking great, so is the sales office.

MGM must be getting fed up with the mismanagement of the current system and have no confidence that they'll ever be able to expand, so they are going to build it themselves.

WOW what awesome pics!!!

lfc4life · #**1093** Posted **Dec 1, 2006, 8:21 PM**

Those towers look like little baby ones. Haha!! Cute and petite!!!

Was the original design of the towers shorter at first?

That's Wynn Macau, a shorter version of Wynn Las Vegas

Typical of Vegas. Let's use the same design again, and again, and again...but, hey, it means not having to pay the architect, twice. lol

I'll be in Vegas later this month. I'm glad to see so much activity beyond The Strip! Though it appears that much of the projects are "centers" and therefore are rather un-pedestrian friendly. They need to encourage people to walk AWAY from The Strip. I've been to Las Vegas a number of times (at least 20) and I can definitely say that I've NEVER walked away from The Strip. I never turned a corner and walked on a side street and to be honest, I don't think anybody else does as well! What efforts are being made to make Las Vegas a more organic environment that flows naturally?
