Even with the bad news about Vegas 888, I discovered two new higrises now under construction
One Las Vegas Tower two is already on floor two with its own crane.
A new tower is under construction at the Grandview Towers Site. (it's located directly south of the Southcoast Hotel.)
Here's some photos.
Well I take it back with my "Gold bar" statement, it'll still look like a giant gold bar, but notice the white lines between each floor, I don't think that was in the renderings. Is it temporary?
While on Trump might as well add this major observation about Trump's tower placement. I've always wondered why he would choose to put his tower in the back of the Frontier site. I thought well Ruffin's agreement allowed him to do so in order for the Montruex to be built in front. BUT.... Take a look at this google earth rendering. See it? yea, we all know the strip curves at aroudn the T.I., so going up the southern part of the strip, the T.I. always seemed to be in the middle of the street directly north. I did not notice anything different until trump's tower got tall enough to grow tall enough behind the T.I. to see that the Donald's Tower of Bling will be what people see looming in the middle going up the strip. He'll add a 2nd tower to double the effect.
Allure Las vegas, a nice angle here...
Panorama Towers, Building 2... Is it just me or it it taking months of top this thing off? Tower One's crane is gone btw. At night, the tower's red aircraft warning lights now turn on. They blink on and off every second or so, kinda cool. Most hotels have their lights on all the time.
lastly, I will reserve my personal comments for this building...
BTW Scott, I personally love monsoon season, something interesting for Vegas's weather besides constant sunshine and heat
Plus lightning is so cool to watch. Just remeber to respect the power and fury of nature.
See this page for other people's photos on the recent storms. The Frenchman Mountain one with the twin bolts is just stunning....
