This is rising quickly. 120 W 42nd doesn't look bad either, though it's just short filler.

Good god, those silver mullions they added to the bottom floors are.... unfortunate.

This thing is a travesty. I cringe to think what they are going to do at the base. Images of Las Vegas comes to mind. Wrong, Wrong, Wrong in so many ways.

Although it would be cool to have a NY Casino in the area. It will add even more light to the area.

Building looks alright. Nothing great, but not too much of an eyesore.
