    I'd like to see it built. I love shiny new buildings.

    Not holding my breath though.

    I wonder if Fontainebleau will kick in and start building? Resorts World seems to be taking a long time making progress. I am really surprised at how some of the projects take their time in Vegas, almost as if the owners say "go slow so we can go bankrupt"..

    I'll believe it when the place has been open for three years. Not before. :p

    Disappointed they are downgrading the theme from Classic Chinese to Modern.

    View from Cosmo 69th floor and you can see contruction going on. There is a lot of framework for a new tower up, and there does appear to be activitythere.

    These construction workers have it made. Talk about job security. Those 12 workers got put on a lifetime assignment with unlimited overtime.

    For every person you see working, there is another 4 or 5 doing nothing. So, I'd imagine there is 48-60 people on site, just most are out of plain view! Playing cards on a folding table hidden between two work trucks or something like that.

    IMG_20171224_1512401_rewind.jpg There are 4 cranes currently up and not running (it being Christmas Eve and all.) But there is a lot of construction geedus scattered around the lot and there seems to be work going on in the underground areas as well, like loading docks and such.
