I guess I am the only one who likes all those replica buildings in Las Vegas

Even the architects who made them find those buildings disgustingly vile. I'm sorry, viper.

It's very cool. I wonder who designed it.

SmileyBoy · #**394** Posted **Mar 24, 2007, 10:59 PM**

BTW, I counted 36 storeys including that penthouse on top.

Brokenhead · #**395** Posted **Mar 25, 2007, 4:06 AM**

I can't really see that being built in Winnipeg.

Looks nice, although. Kind of different.

Smron · #**396** Posted **Mar 25, 2007, 4:36 AM**

Yeah it's a proposal. Fairly recent as well.

trueviking · #**397** Posted **Mar 25, 2007, 6:27 AM**

^ha, ha, cheeky monkey....how good is everyone's googling skills?...can someone find where this came from?.....the reward will be a very cool animation of the proposal....and a great web site...

BTW this is one of the three proposals that the city is considering right now....along with the park and the other tall (but shorter) building.

Why do I have a bad feeling that the city is going to pick the worst one?

Probably for the same reason that those of us who hoped that Manitoba Hydro would have built a 40 storey tower but somehow knew they wouldn't because they wouldn't want to offend those people that are against tall buildings (due to the fact that tall buildings cast a shadow).

The reason that they wouldn't build a 40 storey tower would be that it is very expensive to build 40 storey towers and because for what is basically a single-tenant building it makes no sense.
