damn, thanks for breaking down the citycenter site like that! its great to be able to just focus on one building at a time, rather than be overwhelmed by the site as a whole.

Dubai World

Big, Big news.

Dubai World is buying half of CityCenter, plus a big chunk of MGM.

Who said it's "bad" news?

I think it's great news. This means that MGM can quickly pay down debt and start new developments sooner.

Sure, some selective color corrections, but no cloning, or duping or HDR composite. Shot in RAW format with a DSLR.

Wow, that project has really moved along since I was last in Vegas, which was back in May.

Did it look like they were making any progress on the Veer towers??? They seem to be the slowest towers going up...

You can see most of the Veer towers in that first pic. They're only as tall as the mall, which means, yeah, they're rising really, really slow.

I am in awe of this project. I was out there in October and loved to see the Vegas boom in person. Now If I could just get my wife to appreciate construction like I do.
