Can someone post good pictures (if anyone has them) of the Mandalay Bay and TheHotel properties, and also ThePlace condos if anyone has the plan. THanks so much!

Here are some dated pics.

During the All-Star weekend

So old that it still says Mandalay Bay instead of Thehotel

Thanks so much beets!

I was not on the forum when the Mandalay Bay was going up, but I see all the time people complaining about Trump's Towers being gold. Is/Was there any animosity towards this casino having the gold glass?

They Changed it back to Mandalay Bay instead of THEhotel?

Nah its an old picture. originally THEhotel was just had the Mandalay Bay sign.

As for the gold comment when the Mandalay Bay tower was finished the gold was nice, only building on the strip with the gold glass and made it unique. THEhotel kinda made it a gold mess and if THEplace (horrible idea for a name) is built with the gold glass exterior it will be a gold nightmare in that area. MGM Signature also put up the gold with three towers. So when the plans for two 60 story to be built with gold glass you can see why people frowned upon it.

That's just an old picture.

We didn't like gold then and we don't like is now. Gold is tacky and cheap looking. There are those who do like gold, but I think us gold haters are a majority.

From the correct angle you would see Steve on one tower and Wynn on the other. That WOULD be funny! Of course then Trump would have to put DONALD on the top of his second tower.

A shameless plug, but one I love.

I visit your site often. It's great and keeps me update. BTW, I saw something incorrect on the site and emailed you, but never got a reply back. It was concerning the Boca Raton, a complex you had listed at 12 stories and 146 feet, but in its built form appears no such thing.

Sorry about that, I try to answer them all but some fall through the cracks.
I need to call the VG folks to get a solid answer and then I will fix the issue.

Shamless, maybe...but a good source is a good source (even if I say so myself)

beets281 · #**2590** Posted **Jun 14, 2007, 6:31 AM**

I counted 8 stories on Boca Raton when I was there last week.

Hey Mark you have any recent shots of One Queensridge Place? I would like to see them if you do.

I love that site, and it is awesome to meet you. I am from Biloxi, and I wish someone would do a site like your site for Biloxi, although there is not nearly as much going on. The guy I sit next to at work is going to Vegas this weekend and I am really jealous because he doesn't care about what he sees as long as it has boobs and a beer (nothing wrong with that but he could care less about the projects going up)

How long until the extension of the Monarail is completed to the airport or have they even started?

(ps~Jazfingr you could say on the site that the Beau Rivage was built in Biloxi because Steve had to have that name near water and the design would have just been to hard to do in Las Vegas. In Biloxi the water was already there

I like Wynn's first tower and I like how he named the second Encore. Trump's tower is nice but just like with every other building from him it is called Trump.

Jazfingr - first off, I really enjoy VT&T...

I noticed on your maps, 2 interchanges that would help traffic quiet a bit (the bridge @ Harmon/Valley View to cross I-15, and the bridge and redesign @ Industrial to MLK that would cross I-15)... Do you have any kind of time table for these projects or are they just pipe dreams???

jazfingr · #**2594** Posted **Jun 14, 2007, 7:36 PM**

Thanks everyone, for the kind words.

Both of those road projects are proposed and the map reflects the actual plans. I suppose funding is the bottleneck at this point. No news on this lately. Does anyone else in here know more details about them?

Also, special thanks to Mdiederi and Beats281 for the fantastic photo contributions which help keep VegasTaT current

Doing all this from the OC is a challenge, but I plan on moving to Vegas next year (if I can convince myself to tolerate the friggin heat).

Bender13 · #**2595** Posted **Jun 14, 2007, 8:09 PM**

The MLK/Industrial connector is part of Project Neon, an NDOT project that also includes widening the 15 between Sahara and the spagetti bowl and improving the off ramps, on ramps at Sahara and Charleston, among other things.
http://www.ndotprojectneon.com/
According to their website they are in the middle of the environmental study and construction is expected to begin in 2011. I don't know about the funding though.

Does anyone have information about the alzheimers center? I remember they had a ground breaking like a couple months ago. Is it under construction?

mttbox · #**2596** Posted **Jun 14, 2007, 8:44 PM**

hi guys, does any one know if the Plaza will some how connect to the Trump towers?

Got in my car today and it said 111

Well I hope that doesnt stop ya.

Are you trying to keep me away?

jazfingr · #**2599** Posted **Jun 14, 2007, 11:11 PM**

Although no palns have yet been released, I assume there will be some sort of connector to help keep the Trumpsters cool and dry on their way to The Plaza.

beets281 · #**2600** Posted **Jun 15, 2007, 6:30 AM**

If they build a monrail between the two, I'm moving out of vegas.
