Between now and the end of the decade, over 38,000 hotel rooms will be built in Sin City with an estimated value of $30 billion. Here's a quick rundown on some of the major construction taking place right now in Las Vegas-
- Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino - the transformation of Aladdin Casino and Resort will be completed this year
- The Venetian Palazzo - 3,000+ hotel rooms for a little over a billion and a half dollars (we assume the theme is "Italian")
- Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa - adding 430 hotel rooms this year as well as expanding their spa and opening a 72-lane bowling center
- Palms Place - this $600 million project will open next year with 599 rooms (1 room = $1 million?)
- Trump International Hotel & Towers - Donald's newest creation will debut next year with over 1,250 rooms
- The Cosmopolitan Resort and Casino - this mammoth project costs in the neighborhood of $2 billion and will have roughly 3,000 hotel rooms
- Encore - the second tower of the Wynn Las Vegas will have 2,000 rooms and will cost $1.4 billion when it is completed next year
- CityCenter - an absurdly grandiose project from MGM Mirage, the 18 million-square-foot project will include almost 5,000 hotel rooms, 2,700 luxury residences and cost an estimated $7 billion making it the largest privately funded project in America. Amazing.
- Echelon Place - this one won't open for another three years but when it does there will be 5,300 new hotel rooms in town
- W Las Vegas Hotel, Casino and Residences - also scheduled for 2010, this project will have a mere 3,000 rooms

Although Vegas is often seen as worthwhile going to only if you're a gambler, more and more regular people are going there for vacations.

I hope that the town of Wendover Nevada grows to the even 1/10 of the size of Las Vegas. It would be nice to see such beautiful photography like that one day. Wendover actually has it's own beauty since it's next to the Bonneville Salt Flats. If you want to learn more about Wendover, feel free to visit this cool site: http://www.WendoverWinnings.com
