Yeah, the back is as good as the front.

Not quite. It loses some style points for going with an attached parking garage rather than an underground garage.

Also sad that this is what the public wants from their news shows.

Sorry for that OT rant. I love the Vegas photos! The more the merrier.

Dud, get off the constant liberal bashing. You can't be serious, anyway, since Fox is known for their blatantly sensationalist 'journalism' more than any of the rest. They are all guilty, so get off your liberal-basing bent.

Dud -

It was not a political comment. It was a comment on the media. I did not mean to disparage your enjoyment of viewing personal tragedies such as suicide leaps.

Is Fountainebleau undergoing 24 hour a day construction?

No, starts at 5am (wakes me up) and ends about 3pm. Mon-Sat and sometimes Sunday. Making huge progress on the foundation. Will provide a progress photo soon.

TheOldMan · #**2293** Posted **May 11, 2007, 4:31 AM**

i am assuming Fountainbleu's actual design is still unknown to everyone? a rendering or two would be nice. i wonder why none have been released

Maybe the Riv is serious this time. They actually hired some bankers.
They might even actually consider this bid:

I sure hope so. I am ready for the tidal wave of new projects that the north end of the strip will embrace. It is only a matter of time before the strip and downtown will dance.

beets281 · #**2296** Posted **May 11, 2007, 9:41 PM**

Incase you forgot.

Anyone miss this guy?

Pretty soon this building wont even be visible.

What a joke.

The start of what is currently my favorite building.

I awarded this second place behind the Belliago's for best water fountain on the strip. Boyd should of kept this baby for its new plans.

Superfish · #**2297** Posted **May 11, 2007, 10:21 PM**

Planet Hollywood is putting up a tall hotel sign. I wonder what it will look like. Probably will have a giant LED screen like all the others? But PH's frontage already is covered with LED screens.

Deposits have been returned. Oh well.

Awwww fuck, that really sucks, like really.
But honestly, I think it would be so much better, if W built a slender, sexy tower Downtown. just my opinion.
W needs to be in Las Vegas eventually though, its about the trendiest hotel out there, Vegas deserves only the most in vogue.

beets, when you said old, you weren't kidding! HA don't you just love how two-year-old pics (just a guess on time, correct me if I'm wrong) seem so dated in Las Vegas? pictures from 2005 (again, guess) in any other city would seem perfectly recent.

That's a shame. The project looked like it would be one of the few that would make it in the biz. I think the nail hit the coffin when CityCenter came along and advertised units as low as $500,000. Compared to W's $650K and lack of capital I'm sure a lot of on the fence investors jumped ship to MGM.
