A second construction accident in about a week at Fontainebleau, though this time no one was killed, unlike last week. It appears a major collapse in the parking garage area that is under construction has taken place.

Las Vegas Construction Update - May 2007
Posted by Hunter on May 30, 2007
Here's some more info on upcoming Las Vegas construction, based off of filings with the county.
THEPlace - The condo development to sit between Mandalay Bay and Luxor is still on track, despite there not being a peep from them since the initial announcement. Some details on the project stats, which will include a rather large 256 square foot water features.
Hard Rock Condos - Nothing really here - just a request for an extension for the new owner to figure out what they want to do.
Cogent? - Anyone know what this is?
New York New York Nightclub - This is finally coming together, with an indoor/outdoor setup.
Fontainebleau - Work continues as they are asking for a batch plant.
Casino Royale - They want to expand the casino in the back with all sorts of new space.

Fontainebleau Floor Plan - Construction Continues
Posted by Hunter on May 5, 2007
Well, construction is on going at the Fontainebleau site, even though they have yet to really announce anything.
This site plan shows some of the features of the new casino, including a zen garden - no doubt Schaeffer's contribution as he is into that stuff pretty heavily.
This project will be one to watch, no doubt.
