Resorts World Las Vegas is once again on it's way in Las Vegas Nevada ;o)

 

The Genting Group purchased the property along with existing buildings along Las Vegas Blvd, that was called Echelon Place.

 

The old Echelon Place located approx 30-40 feet south of Circus Circus was a HUGE project that went belly-up when the market crashed many years ago.

 

Here a video that Vegas Bob shot of some of the old steel building structures which will be used by the Genting group to construct Resorts World Las Vegas.

 

Here in some information on Resorts World Las Vegas ...
 
Resorts World Las Vegas is a proposed Asian-themed resort on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. In March 2013, Boyd sold the Echelon Place 87 acres site to the Genting Group for $350 million. Genting announced plans to develop the site as with phase 1 construction beginning in the second half of 2014. The $4 billion first phase, including a 3,000-room hotel and a 175,000-square-foot (16,300 m) casino, is planned to open in 2016. Notable features will include a panda exhibit, as well as an indoor water park. The completed 21,847,314-square-foot (2,029,681.9 m) project will eventually include 4 towers totaling 6583 rooms and could cost up to $7 billion.

Vegas,  A very steady hand with your video.  Well done.  And this video with only two named casinos shown makes me realize how long it has been since being there.  Mark

More hotel rooms, more jobs, greater housing need....

Projects like this are definitely helping sustain Las Vegas housing market recovery. Great news and great reporting Bob.
