Hope this doesn’t come to fruition. I’d hate to see another piece of LV history go Kaboom, even though it’s a terribly shitty property. Go build on the Wild Wild West site with the Fertitta’s.
Personal opinion, the A’s will get the deal done with Alameda County. They won’t let a third team, plus tax revenue, walk.
Well its odd and a bit confusing..... Bally's apparently acquired the Tropicana but the land under it is still going to be with the current owner so Bally's will own the hotel/casino but lease the land from the current owners. So.... The A's must be ready to fork over more than a billion for that corner while the stadium will coast over a billion itself. Better off finding another corner or building a stadium next door instead. But, that being said, The A's are looking for a hefty hand out as well from the city/state of Vegas. They want the city to foot half the bill. Baseball isn't as big a draw (outside of a few markets NYC, LA Chicago, SD Etc.) as other sports, Vegas would rather spend that money to lure in the NBA.
"Hard Rock International announced Monday that it is buying The Mirage’s operations side from MGM Resorts International for more than $1 billion in cash. Through the deal, it said, it plans to build a guitar-shaped hotel tower on the Strip."
I mean the rendering was made by literally photoshopping in a night time photo of the Hollywood Florida building over the Mirages volcano. Really hope this doesn't happen
Hey, i was in Vegas the past weekend. What's going on with the property across the street from Park MGM/Aria? Those tacky shops that have haunted me for decades? they were all boarded up and closed.
The shopping center in front of polo towers and the shopping center directly next door to the south. both boarded up and empty. Haven't heard any news on any new developments on those plots of land.
Ah ok, surprised it's just retail/clubs, figured another hotel/casino mix was making its way onto the strip but that parcel of land is kinda small so I get it.
Now that Resort World is competed and Fountainebleau is on its way to completion, Why is there no urgency for Circus Circus to completely tear down and rebuild ? they just announced a "30 million renovation" which is barely enough for carpet and new bedding and paint.
They should hire me, i could fix their problem easy and in phases.
Phase One.. Start with a new hotel tower and casino on the on the land facing the strip where the McDonalds and storage sheds are now currently, once completed, open it.
Phase Two. DESTROY the old hotel/casino and pool area (keep adventure dome)
Phase Three. Build 2 more hotel towers and expand the casino on where the old property was
Phase Four. Destroy the parking garage next to the adventure dome
Phase Five. Expand the adventure dome and create a water park around it, maybe one with a retractable roof (or just make another dome and put a water park inside)
Phase Six. Destroy "Circus Circus Manor" its always been weird, in its place, build a massive parking garage there, it'll be needed,
Phase Seven., add another dome where the current "skyrise tower and parking garage" is to entice a cirque show to have a residency there
This will all probably cost a billion, but they will make a billion back in the first year alone. A 30 million renovation is a laughable waste of money.
Three hotel Towers. Three domes of entertainment. Ditch the Circus Circus name and rebrand it "Three Ring Circus"
Hi y'all. Here's a few shots of progress at Fontainebleau and a couple other spots.
Stuff being added to the Death Star from the top down. Is that just cladding or is it the actual LED lighting system?
Alternate angle, same subject:
Resorts World setting up for Christmas:
Was this cutout at the top of HGV Elara something new, or was it never finished?
And here's what's going on at Fontainebleau...
Cladding of the base is nearly complete along Elvis Presley Boulevard:
I saw tons of activity in and around the parking structure.
Some earthmoving happening right along the edge of EPB:
Starting to look a lot more put-together from across the Strip, but if they don't have some video signage or at least some very slick lighting features along that massive wall facing the convention center, it's gonna be a yuuuuge missed opportunity:
Did someone already determine what these pillars behind the mobile crane are for? The marquee?
Massive steel structure in place over the main driveway:
I could be imagining it, but the façade looks cleaner?
And I think they might be redoing the cladding on the top deck:
I never get tired of the sheer scale and elegance of Resorts World:
The developers of Fontainebleau Las Vegas, the 67-story north Strip hotel-casino, secured a $2.2 billion construction loan — assuring completion of the project by late 2023.
The financing, arranged by partners Fontainebleau Development and Koch Real Estate Investments, was announced Friday.
“We are eager to bring our iconic Fontainebleau brand — timeless beauty, unparalleled service, and innovative design — to the Las Vegas Strip,” Fontainebleau Development President Brett Mufson said in a release.
The towering resort is expected to one of the biggest Las Vegas projects set to debut in 2023, joining the 17,500-seat entertainment venue MSG Sphere at The Venetian which is due to open in the second half of 2023.
The Fontainebleau will have an estimated 3,700 rooms, 550,000 square feet of convention space and a shopping district that will span 90,000 square feet.
Fontainebleau is one of the city’s biggest turnaround stories.
The property’s past has been marked with bankruptcy proceedings, halted construction, different sets of owners, national economic meltdowns, and years of guessing what might happen with the Strip’s tallest skyscraper.
