Attractions -
Real Estate Construction and Renovation
This
section of Source1LasVegas.com is all about letting you know
of various on-going and future real estate construction and
renovation projects taking place in Las Vegas.
Some of these may affect your plans but most will fall under the "you
may be interested to know" category.
Las Vegas
Strip
Echelon
Place
 These are
probably some of the last pictures taken of the legendary
Stardust (1958-2006) before it
was imploded in the early morning hours of March 13, 2007 to
make way for Echelon Place. 
One of the largest
projects to date on the Las Vegas Strip, the $4.4 billion Echelon Place
will consist of
four hotels (Echelon Resort, Shangri-La, Delano and Mondrian for a
total of 5300 rooms), shopping, theaters, a huge convention center and
140,000 square feet of casino space. Completion of this
megaresort is
scheduled for 2010.
Project
CityCenter
 If
you
happen to pass by the area between the Monte
Carlo
and Bellagio you will see a huge construction project underway. When
completed in November 2009, this 76-acre site will be the home of MGM
Mirage's Project CityCenter. At a cost of approximately $7 billion,
this "city within a city" will include a 60-story,
4,000 room hotel-casino, multiple boutique hotels, luxury
condos, restaurants, shopping and entertainment. The complex will house
the  Vdara
Condo
Hotel, The Residences of Mandarin Oriental
and The Harmon Hotel and Residences. Also part of the complex
will be the Veer Towers. These unique twin
37 story glass towers will lean in opposite directions - five degrees
from center. The picture above is a street level view and the
one to your right was taken from the VooDoo Lounge atop the
Rio in late Aug. 2007.
Aladdin/Planet
Hollywood
 Work
is about complete on the transformation of the
Aladdin to Planet
Hollywood
Resort & Casino. No small feat since the "old" Aladdin
had
an Arabian
Nights theme. This was actually the second one
(built in 2000) to have the name Aladdin
and occupy
this location
(the first being famous as the site of the 1967 wedding of Elvis
Presley and Priscilla Beaulieu). The old Aladdin's
popular Desert Passage
shopping area has been renamed to Miracle Mile Shops and boasts 170
stores and 15 restaurants.
Fremont
East
District (Downtown Las Vegas)
Adjacent
to
the Fremont Street Experience is the  new
Fremont East. Dedicated on August
24, 2007, this $5.5 million "streetscaping" project is another example
of local downtown businesses and the City of Las Vegas taking
action to revitalize the downtown area. Seven months
in the making, the project installed lighted gateways and 40-foot tall
neon signs. Visitors interested in seeing some new downtown sites will
find nightclubs, cocktail lounges and other night time
entertainment.
