If I’m not anorexic, will Alon let me in?

This is exciting!!! Love all things Vegas esp new construction. More to the north end.

Wow. They removed all the dead trees. Always wondered when that would happen (and who let them die off in the first place).

Yup, that is a whole lot of empty space. As a regular visitor, I’ve been interested in all things Vegas for years. I’m thinking in three years there’s still gonna be a lot of empty space. Hope I’m really wrong.
Love your blog. Informative and humorous.

To put it in perspective, its gonna have half as many rooms as Wynn across the street…not Wynn AND Encore…JUST the Wynn tower(1100 vs 2700 rooms), but it will cost almost twice as much as Wynn cost to build. Forget RW, THIS is gonna be spectacular….hopefully. From the artwork im hoping for an even more impressive cosmopolitan-style/sexy place. Should be exciting.

I actually quite like the artwork. You reckon clip-art? They wouldn’t, surely?!

Mind you with that name/logo lameness going on, maybe they would…

Do you think they’ll have A Lawn by the pool with deckchairs and tennis and croquet and Pimms?

By the way, what’s with the guy in uniform telling everyone at the pool to be quiet?

In reply to Scott Roeben.

For me it’s a hard one to call, but they’re both really exciting. I know some are skeptical (understandably after some of the disasters and near disaster of recent years, FB anyone?), but I think RW will deliver.

I know Genting don’t have much of a presence in the States yet but by quantity they’re the biggest casino operator in the UK now (somewhere around the 50 mark I believe), and they’ve just opened the first vaguely Vegas style resort (a RW) here this year. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nothing at all like a Vegas resort, but it’s the closest thing we have so far.

Except it’s in Birmingham. I don’t know what Birmingham, AL is like but if it’s anything like Birmingham, England, it’s not a place you get excited about going to, RW or no RW (unless it’s for the cricket, but anyway).

They do have much bigger resorts scattered through Asia though, and they’re a huge player there with a lot of cash behind them and about $4bn in revenue.

So to me there’s no concern that RW won’t get built, I just think they’re not making a noise about it right now. Probably because they’re Malaysian and that’s not the Malaysian style.

Anyway I don’t care which gets done first, as long as they both get done and hopefully in 2018. That is going to be a very exciting time in LV!

In reply to Bouldersteve. Hard to tell with these projects, but you could be right!

I think the Alon will be built before Resorts World project..if it ever does happen.
