New agenda sheet on Echelon.
7,400,000 square foot resort hotel/casino consisting of 5 up to 57 story towers and a total of 5,280 hotel rooms, the parking structures are approximately 3,100,000 square feet resulting in a total of approximately 10,500,000 square feet of project area. The prior plan also included approval for 1,000 resort condominiums, which are now omitted with these revisions.
Echelon Component.
This component includes a total of 3,537 hotel rooms within 3 towers. The Resort Tower is 650 feet high, the Shangri-La Tower is 442 feet high, and the Suite Tower is 542 feet high. This component anchors the entire site and is located on the north side of the site and consists of the elements required for a resort hotel. The Echelon podium is 110 feet high and will include 630,000 square feet of gaming areas, restaurant, and retail promenade, a 225,000 square foot, 4,000 seat performing arts center, a 65,000 square foot, 1,500 seat touring act theatre, and a 740,000 square foot convention center. Elevation plans depict a contemporary architectural design with the 3 high-rise towers constructed of steel and concrete columns and low reflective glass curtain wall systems. The low-rise and mid-rise buildings are designed to match and complement the design of the towers and finished with granite and marble accents with miscellaneous cast stone, metal, and glass accents. Two separate porte cocheres are provided along the proposed North Road to serve the Shangri-la and Suite Towers. A main porte cochere is depicted at the Las Vegas Boulevard South entry to the site serving the main portions of the resort and the Resort Tower. With this revision, the project now meets the height setback ratio for the Resort Tower from Las Vegas Boulevard South, but the need has arisen for a height setback ratio reduction for the low-rise and mid-rise structures on Echelon Resort Drive.
Morgan Component.
The Morgan Component consists of a total of 1,600 hotel rooms with kitchens. One thousand rooms are provided in the Mondrian Hotel, and 600 hotel rooms with kitchens in the Delano Hotel with both towers including associated recreational areas including spas, pools retail, and dining areas. This component is located on the southeastern portion of the site adjacent to Echelon Resort Drive and Desert Inn Road at heights of up to 474 feet and connected to the Echelon component by the low and mid-rise podium portions of the buildings. The towers are also located on a podium served by separate porte cocheres, with access from Echelon Resort Drive for both the Mondrian Hotel porte cochere, and the Delano Hotel porte cochere. According to the plans, the towers will consist of a glazed aluminum window/curtain wall system, and the podium will consist of an exterior insulating finish system with miscellaneous cast stone and metal accents, and include frameless glass and custom storefronts at entrances. A pedestrian realm is provided along the Las Vegas Boulevard South frontage, and wraps the corner of the site onto Echelon Resort Drive and continues onto those portions of Industrial Road where the resort has frontage with a detached sidewalk. The pedestrian realm areas include a detached sidewalk along Las Vegas Boulevard South, which includes extensive landscaping and several fountains/water features on Las Vegas Boulevard South.
Two fountains are located on Las Vegas Boulevard South, one at the main port-cochere and the second at the retail mall entrance on the northwest corner of Las Vegas Boulevard South and Echelon Resort Drive. Two additional fountains are provided at the entrance points to the porte-cochere adjacent to the 3 hotels on the north side of the site. The total area of the proposed water features are approximately 4,000 square feet where Title 30 allows for up to 26,000 square feet of water features in association with a resort hotel of this size. A 30% reduction in parking is requested which is justified by an analysis provided by a competent professional as required by code. The final determination from the Federal Aviation Administration for the approved height of the high-rise buildings was submitted with the application.
