Good point regarding the view across the river... nothing particularly appealing about it.

What's the deal with that observation tower (again, not the best views from this spot)? We know how Stephen Ross loves architectural follies, is this gonna be our low-rent but taller version of Hudson Yards' Vessel?

Yes, would preferably like to avoid something gimmicky like the Vessel... though I'm not sure what would not be gimmicky but still act as a draw (beyond the casino) for tourists and locals.
