City Center- Las Vegas, NV

So over the weekend Alicen and I went down the Las Vegas Bowl to see BYU play and the night before the game we walked a little of the strip. What we saw shocked us- the new place going up call the City Center is huge. Its owned by MGM and will be opening next year. We had to actually ask a cab driver what it was. We where so surprised by its size we had to take pictures (however these are from online).

We could not believe its size. It takes up a whole city block (we where told about 76 acres) and that it would have its own zip code. Its own zip code!! It is a monstrous place. It will have a hotel, casino, sports arena, Condos and shopping centers. Really everything a little city could use. It is just huge. We could not believe the work being done on it. What was funny is I took a picture and sent it to one of my works outside salesman- Chase. To show him and have look at the project. He was not too excited about it. Not sure if it was the text (not a texter) or the fact I sent it to him at 2 am. Either way he was not impressed. I just cant believe our salesman did not travel to see if we could get any concrete material sold. Just to see this thing makes me think- and we are in a recession. Anyway I showed construction photos but the last one below is the finished product to be seen. Its going to be cool to visit when done. Take a look.

(The picture just does not do justice)
