BLK85 Report post Posted December 1, 2009 There was something on TV this weekend about it. That place looks insane. They said the place was 12 billion dollars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ct1 Report post Posted December 1, 2009 That is one whale of a "if you build it, they will come" gamble. It seems to buck the thematic trend of Wynn, Paris, Belagio, etc. which in the past seemed to entice vistors as a new and "exotic" experience. This project just seems to be Dubai big for the sake of being big. Meh, I don't get it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_chorizo Report post Posted December 1, 2009 I wouldn't mind having a unit in the Veer towers. The City Center looks gorgeous, but I worry about the build quality. I think it's suspect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Report post Posted December 1, 2009 Ben and others who live there will comment, but in real life they are horrible eyesores, being far too tall and too smashed together to match the other attractions on the strip. Should never have been approved. And godforbid you live within the complex, getting in and out of how they've jam-packed the residential and hotel buildings is nightmarish. Will fail miserably, and become a permanent monument to the real estate speculation bubble. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SP-superJay Report post Posted December 1, 2009 The City Center looks gorgeous, but I worry about the build quality. I think it's suspect. I do too...it looks as though it's being built in a rush, and that was my first thought when reading the article in the LA Times. Other than that it appears the design team, and engineers flew all over the world to soak in each city's nightlife to fully incorporate it into this center. It'll definitely be interesting to see how this plays in the economy. Some say it isnt the right time to build such a goliath, and I believe that as well, but it can also offer a lot of jobs to people, and it gives people something to be excited about. I think possibly the only way to pull us out of this "recession" is for people to start spending. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roguetrader Report post Posted December 2, 2009 I wouldn't mind having a unit in the Veer towers. The City Center looks gorgeous, but I worry about the build quality. I think it's suspect. Are the entire building structures themselves finished? Or are they just opening a couple while the others are still being built. If they finished it between the last time I was there when it looked like a bunch of scaffolding and now, then I'd definitely be concerned about the build quality.

I'm talking about every average American. Not spending every cent they make, that would just be stupid, but if all they do is save then their money is stagnant, and that doesnt help the economy at all. I can see how this is a big gamble considering the people who invested in this City Center project probably aren't using their own cash flow, and if it indeed fails it could come crashing down...yes I understand that. But if it flourishes, helps people get jobs, and entices people from around the world to spend, then I dont see it as a bad thing. It's VEGAS, it's a gamble nonetheless.

ben Report post Posted December 2, 2009 I think its just a bunch of news about nothing. CityCenter opening will be same as Wynn/Encore/Palazzo/Venetian opening. Its now the newest, it'll have the upscale and the premium, and everything will just adjust. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
