Never mind, one of their marketing executives just told me that they have all the zoning and gaming permits, but have three years to start actual construction.

Here's a shot from yesterday of that corner. Looks like they're drilling.

From across the street.

From the competitor's place.

Will be a great extension of the strip up north, which currently has way too many underdeveloped sites between great projects.

Wow that is crazy. The building never stops. I really like this building. Very nice...

It really compliments the Venetian nicely. And by "compliments", I mean "dwarfs".

It didn't seem to be over 600 feet tall. They're just so wide that it throws your sense of scale off a bit.

my EXACT thought when i went there in Febuary!

^Well remember that the Wynn uses the "Window Eye Trick" Each line on the building is two floors, instead on one.

Heres a more detailed page about it.

A great project, they sure don't build 'em like this out of Vegas.

It looks like all the low-rises being finished far ahead of the tower - do they need more time for all the fancy interior work compared to the relatively normal interiors of rooms in the tower?

mdiederi · #59 Posted **Mar 19, 2007, 2:32 PM**

They still say that they will open by the end of this year, but I bet it won't be completely finished if they do.

Viewed from Encore.

I think I'm startin to like it. Its just so HUGE!!

Once Palazzo is completed.
Venitian Las Vegas will be the largest Hotel Complex in the world, with almost 7,100 rooms
