Las Vegas Wet n Wild Has Option For Purchase

Wet 'n Wild Las Vegas site moved closer to its fate today. Archon Corporation, owner of the site, south of the Sahara Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, announced it had contracted an option agreement to sell 27 acres of Las Vegas Strip real estate to Christopher Milam. A real estate developer from Austin, Texas, Milam will pay $450 million (or $16.98 million an acre) for the closed remnants of the Wet 'n Wild Las Vegas amusment park, which closed in September 2004.

$16.98 million an acre for commercial land represents a new high for North Strip real estate. Nearby acreage cobbled together by Concord Wilshire for a Maxim Magazine Las Vegas branded casino averaged $9.6 million an acre and the former site of the Westward Ho was recently revalued at $12 million per acre.

North of Wet n Wild Las Vegas, Sahara Hotel CEO Al Hummel is rumored to be seeking as much as $20 million per acre for their 55-acre parcel. It’s a great piece of Las Vegas Strip real estate with the potential growth from nearby Turnberry Place, Sky Las Vegas, Hilton's timeshare towers and several forthcoming developments, including Boyd Gaming's Echelon Place. This real estate is in the middle of all of this high growth.

Purchasing Wet 'n Wild would give Milam 950 feet of Las Vegas Strip frontage and 850 feet on Paradise Road, with 26.5 acres in between. He plans a $3.75 billion to $4 billion mega resort and said he's lined up three prestigious design firms: the Paul Steelman Group, for the casino; RTKL, to design the retail component; and the Chicago branch of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill for the hotel tower.

The terms of Milam's option-to-buy deal call for a $5 million upfront payment, due last Tuesday, followed by $40 million more on Sept. 22. Milam forfeits the entire $45 million if he's unable to consummate the purchase agreement by April 2008. Financing hasn't been formalized.

Revitalization of Downtown Las Vegas With Fremont East

Las Vegas Downtown Fremont Street is in revitalization as key components to the rundown downtown Las Vegas area is being transformed into entertainment venues.

The City of Las Vegas is serious about Fremont Street, between Las Vegas Boulevard and 8th Street, becoming the French Quarter of the West and give it a reputation as a entertainment and music district, even naming it "Fremont East."

"We really do want it to be like Bourbon Street in New Orleans or Beale Street in Memphis," said Steve van Gorp, the city's redevelopment manager in the office of business development. "A real hopping district in the next couple of years."

According to a Las Vegas City officials, there are 20 commercial projects in various stages of development for the entertainment district, which will cover a six-block area.

"We've worked with the owner's association for a couple of years to get the district going," van Gorp said. "It's a public-private partnership to build the streetscape."

A mixture of boarded-up properties, small businesses in old buildings and a new entertainment haunt now operate in the area. The Las Vegas City and the district's owners association is scheduled to embark on a $6 million landscape plan in August to make over this stretch of road.

The street will be remade with a downtown Las Vegas history 1950s retro theme that includes 40-foot neon signs down the median and gateways over each end of the district. The plan also calls for a widening of the existing sidewalks to allow for cafes and a narrowing of the street.

Unlike the Las Vegad Downtown Fremont Street Experience, this portion of the street will remain open to vehicular traffic, closing only during peak business times of weekend nights and New Year's Eve in Las Vegas.

New Swanky Las Vegas Night Club, CHERRY, at Red Rock Casino

Hip new Las Vegas Nightclub, CHERRY, at Red Rock Station Casino created by Nightlife entrepreneur Rande Gerber, along with his brother Scott, founders of After Midnight Company, and creators of glamorous restaurants, lounges, and bars across the country, is a hit.

CHERRY, designed in collaboration with The Rockwell Group of New York City, encompasses 8,500-square-feet of cool, luxurious architectural detail with an indoor nightclub and outdoor pool deck. CHERRY’s electric red leather walls, translucent crimson glass doors and compelling mirrored entranceway lead guests into an extraordinary oval shaped venue. In contrast to the mega clubs for which Las Vegas is known, this intimate night club will generate great energy in a compact environment.

“CHERRY will be a nightclub unlike any other in Las Vegas or anywhere else,” said Rande Gerber. “The combination of indoor and outdoor space, vibrant design elements and a spectacular sound system ensures a unique experience, unparalleled on the strip.”

Located directly off the casino and pool, the entrance of CHERRY night club is accentuated with a hanging dome and beaded chandelier. Guests entering the club will be greeted by a magnificent 7-foot sculpture of red cherries, created by renowned artist Takashi Murakami, which is part of Red Rock’s extensive contemporary art collection. As you enter the nightclub, a long mirrored tunnel spills out onto the main dance floor and bar, where walnut wood and polished chrome detail the interior. A circular bar acts as the main focal point of the room, covered with a red living glass top.

The architectural details enter every facet of the club, down to the provocative design of the restrooms. As patrons enter, they are confronted with what appears to be a holographic wall; two projectors suspended from the ceiling beam an image onto a clear glass with a special film that captures the image. Without the image, the glass is clear and guests can see through to the restroom’s custom washbasin. The surrounding walls of the bathroom are made up of snakeskin tile mosaics and the doors to the stalls are translucent from the inside out. Shipped all the way from Holland, the gentleman’s urinals are made up of glass, red hot, pouting lips.

Both the Las Vegas night club and pool deck feature private spaces for guests to enjoy. The club’s interior includes VIP areas overlooking the dance floor; each lined with banquette seating, flat screen TVs and polished steel cocktail tables. An operable glass wall, which can be opened and closed depending on seasonal conditions, separates the indoor club area from the outside pool deck. This pool deck, exclusive from the casino pool, has rotating sun beds and individual daybeds nestled in private areas. A fire and water fountain flows next to the pool bar which is lined with back lit onyx. Adjacent to the pool, eight large VIP cabanas offer plasma TVs and stereos as well as refrigerators, fans and private bars.

The club’s entertainment, courtesy of CHERRY’s exclusive house DJs, will provide an eclectic mix of music, with occasional celebrity DJs making guest appearances. All will have access to the most advanced lighting and sound system ever created for a club anywhere in the world — the system took more than a year to develop and months to program.

Reservations: Call (702) 423-3112 Hours of operation: Open Wednesday - Saturday, 10 p.m. - 4 a.m. Cover price:

• Wednesday - Thursday: $10

More Money For W Las Vegas Condos Hotel And Resort

To raise money for its "W Las Vegas Hotel and Resort" and "Edge East" real estate developments Edge Group is selling 63 acres on the South Strip, across from Mandalay Bay. The company and its investors, Weststate Holdings, bought the land less than two months ago for $201.7 million, or $3.2 million per acre. The property borders the west side of I-15, between Russell Road and Hacienda Avenue. Edge Group has decided to cash out.

Weststate Holdings is listing the property for sale with the starting price at $441 million, or $7 million per acre, which more than doubles its cost in just 60 days ago. The money will go toward paying off The Edge Group's recent purchase of the "Las Ramblas" site, say sources.

The company last month bought 25 acres of Las Vegas land along the north side of Harmon Avenue, between Koval Lane and Paradise Road, for $202 million, or $8.080 million per acre, from Centra Properties. The commercial property previously served as the planned location of The Related Company's $3 billion, 4,000-unit Las Ramblas hotel-casino-condominium project, which was recently canceled. Centra had spent $75 million, or $3 million per acre, acquiring the site in March 2005. Its recent sale represents a 62.8 percent premium over its original purchase price.

Edge Group is now planning to build a Las Vegas hotel tower at the site, called "Edge East." The new project is located adjacent to the company's $2.5 billion W Las Vegas Hotel, Casino and Residences, which is being jointly developed with Starwood Hotels and Resorts.

"Edge East will be a master-planned complex that will feature lifestyle elements that are uniquely aligned with the W Las Vegas project currently being developed."

The Las Vegas luxury real estate project plans call for two, 50-story glass towers with a combined 4,000 hotel and condo-hotel units. Residences run from 500 square feet to 3,000 square feet, with prices starting at $650,000. W Las Vegas will also feature 20 restaurants, bars and lounges, as well as 100,000 square feet of shops and a 75,000-square-foot casino. The 24.5-acre site development is scheduled to open in 2009.

Las Vegas Red Rock Station Casino Offers Adventure Spa

Las Vegas David Bert, outdoorsman, starts Red Rock Station Casino Las Vegas, Resort & Spa's "Adventure Spa," and he says it's the fulfillment of a 10 year dream.

As the eco-tourism and wellness center at the new Red Rock Casino Station Casinos' resort in Summerlin, the spa offers a wide range of outdoor activities at the Red Rock National Recreation Area and on the Colorado River below Hoover Dam, including conventional services such as massage and exercise.

Bert credits Red Rock Casino Las Vegas President and General Manager Scott Kreeger with the idea of creating an adventure spa. Kreeger said he got the idea when he was staying at a similar outdoor recreation spot in Utah. "I saw that it was a very successful spa, and what we had in Red Rock was just as good." Red Rock Casino-Resort guests can now bike or hike in the Red Rock National Recreation Area.

Kreeger and Red Rock Station Casino Las Vegas Vice President and Assistant General Manager Ronan O'Gorman subsequently called Bert to see if he would head up the venture. "I told them, 'I'm very busy with two TV shows and a radio show but I'd like to hear what you have to say,'" Bert said.

Within 10 minutes of meeting with the resort executives, Bert said he knew he would leave some of his TV work to take the job Kreeger hadn't even offered him. Red Rock Station Casino Las Vegas did, however, offer him the position heading up its new outdoor activities program, and since March he has been assembling and operating a menu of adventures like hiking, rock climbing, road and mountain biking and horseback riding for visitors. Bert also offers a driving tour of the Red Rock area.

Las Vegas Project City Center $7 Billion Resort Pours Concrete Foundation

Las Vegas $7 billion Project City Center, a mixed-use urban village, by MGM Mirage started pouring the 10,000 cubic yards of concrete foundation just after midnight Sunday to start the largest privately financed construction project in the United States. This is taking place between the Bellagio Hotel and Monte Carlo.

One million cubic yards of dirt were removed to pave the way for the concrete pour and construction work for the new tower.

MGM Mirage Resorts President Robert Baldwin, who is overseeing the 18 million-square-foot, mixed-use urban village, Project City Center, said the pour is one of the largest in Las Vegas history and marks the first stage of construction on the project.

Starting this project shows MGM Mirage's commitment and marks a paradigm shift for the company.

The Project City Center Las Vegas real estate project will integrate residential condominiums and a retail mall with a hotel-casino development with a living experience like none other in Las Vegas. This is MGM Mirage largest real estate project.

Project City Center Las Vegas is a shift from the traditional three-point casino-hotel towers. This will be a self-contained metropolitan resort, maximizing the value of its every square foot on the Las Vegas Strip including residential condos, with many amenities and enough entertainment to keep their customers from experiencing other nearby resorts.

Within the next week there will be three phases for the 12-foot deep foundation, by Perini Building Co., of the Cesar Pelli-designed 60 story, 4,000 room hotel-casino tower, the most recognizable architectural component of Las Vegas Project City Center.

There are 600 people working on the design and construction management phase of Project City Center. During 2008, that number will increase to 7,200. At completion, 12,000 Las Vegans will be employed.

Project City Center has announced the addition of Studio Daniel Libeskind, Murphy/Jahn Architects and Rockwell Group to the architectural design team.

These firms will give shape Project City Center’s retail and residential parts which is a modern urban residential district with luxury gourmet restaurants, shops and unique pedestrian environments. The design team will shape the future look of Las Vegas and set the standard for new growth worldwide.

Would you like to live in the middle of Project City Center? We can help you with purchasing your Las Vegas Cosmopolitan condos. Call me today!

Las Vegas Real Estate Opportunities Recommended by Las Vegas Mayor Goodman

Las Vegas Mayor Goodman touts Las Vegas real estate investment opportunities.

The risks and rewards of urban investment are much debated in the real estate investment industry today, and a dozen mayors representing cities from coast to coast weighed in on opportunities and the role of government in development at ICSC’s annual Las Vegas convention.

Many city leaders tried to steer potential investors to underserved areas. “Where I want to see retail take place is not only in the areas that already flourish, but in the areas that need investment,” said Mayor Michael Coleman of Columbus. Oscar Goodman, Las Vegas mayor, touted Downtown Las Vegas rather than the glamorous Strip as the next big thing for his city. He called Downtown Las Vegas “a potential gold mine” and pointed to land values that have soared in recent years from negligible to up to $10 million per Las Vegas real estate acre.

Leaders also addressed the public-sector role in city development. “What we’ve got to do as mayors is remove the obstacles and create the climate so investment will flourish,” said Washington’s Anthony Williams. For its part, said Coleman, Columbus streamlined the development process by creating a one-stop shopping approach.

Census Bureau latest statistics show Las Vegas is one of the fastest-growing big cities in the country. Of cities with a population of 250,000 or greater, Las Vegas had the second-highest percentage of population increase from 2000 through 2005. Its 14 percent jump was behind only Fort Worth's 16.6 percent boost among major cities. During the five-year period, the Southern Nevada municipality grew from 478,000 to 545,147.

Suburban growth within the city limits has contributed greatly to Las Vegas' population expansion, according to Margo Wheeler, the director of Las Vegas planning and development department. "The northwest is our fastest-growing area," she said, "and the area north of Cheyenne (avenue) in the western part of the valley."

City officials are looking at ways to keep up with all the population growth. "As ever, it is to keep up with the infrastructure," Wheeler said. "Generally, in the northwest, it is handled by the Las Vegas real estate developers themselves. The presence of power is crucial to the development of the northwest. We are in talks with Nevada Power and a private consultant about the ability to supply power to all those units coming online downtown."

While outlying parts of Las Vegas played a key role in the most recent Census figures, Wheeler expects downtown Las Vegas resurgence and high-rise condo boom to fuel a similar population-percentage increase in the latter part of the decade. "We anticipate we'll be in the top 25 cities (in size) in a year or two."

Las Vegas is the 29th largest-ranked city by the Census Bureau. New York City remains by far the largest city in country with 8.1 million people.

Las Vegas Luxury Pinnacle Condos $850 Million Project Uncovered

Luxury condos Pinnacle Las Vegas were unveiled today including the vision behind this massive $850 million real estate condo resort project.

"We are unveiling a thoughtfully designed vertical community featuring resort-style living," said Michael J. Bellon, Pinnacle's Director of Development and Managing Partner of the Falcon Group, developer of the project. "We have vertically integrated an entire neighborhood on 12 acres. Our residents will have resort amenities and attractions such as a fully- equipped fitness and health center and full-service spa combined with a gourmet coffee bar, market and retail stores, restaurants, a movie theater and executive office space available. It will instill a sense of community in this age of Las Vegas urbanism."

The developers of Pinnacle Las Vegas waited while the dust settled on Las Vegas hi rise condos. "Since we've owned the land for the past 20 years, we took our time to carefully plan our development. We obtained all the necessary FAA approvals, permits, and licenses we needed to go forward. We also paid attention to the market in order to incorporate many unique offerings such as our Managed Resort program, a three-acre Wet Deck, and the Pinnacle Interactive Network," said Bellon.

Pinnacle Las Vegas luxury condos met two important project milestones by naming Marnell Corrao, as general contractor, one of the most recognizable and prestigious names in $850 million resort construction, and securing first-level financing from Berkshire Capital Financial of New York City.

"Having Marnell Corrao serve as our construction contractor is a clear validation of the soundness of Pinnacle Las Vegas condos. Their track record speaks for itself and we could not be more excited in having them construct our condo project."

"This is a company that has built some of the most exciting resort properties around the nation and we look forward to the day Pinnacle Las Vegas luxury condos is added to that list," Bellon added.

Pinnacle's design is highlighted by stunning suspended "sky bridge" suites that connect two separate residential towers. Pinnacle Las Vegas condos was designed by Jon Sparer of Youngblood Wucherer Sparer Architects, Ltd. (YWS) drew the inspiration for the sky bridge suites from Michael Bellon. In May, the company appointed Interstate Hotels & Resorts, the nation's largest independent hotel management company, to manage Pinnacle's 1,104 residences. This allows condominium owners the opportunity to place their units in a rental arrangement.

Set to break ground in late 2006, the project will generate approximately 750 jobs at the height of construction and contribute millions of dollars in tax revenues. Upon opening in Spring 2009, Pinnacle condos will create more than 400 permanent jobs in Las Vegas and will be the touchstone project in the growing district west of The West Strip.

Call me now for first phase pricing on the fantastic Las Vegas Pinnacle condos. With pricing starting from the $300,000s for a studio the value is tremendous.

Streamline Tower Las Vegas pours concrete for downtown Las Vegas condominiums.

The 3rd largest continuous cement pour in Nevada history. Streamline Tower's Las Vegas foundation requires a continuous pour of 6,700 square yards of concrete. 350 cement trucks will be pouring for approximately 14 hours, at 5 pour stations, two at a time. This will be quite a feat, for both coordination and cement production.

Martin-Harris Construction poured the foundation for the new 22-story Streamline Tower in downtown Las Vegas. The event took place at Las Vegas Boulevard North and Ogden Street. Thirty-five workers placed the concrete or roughly 670 truck loads worth during the marathon.

Rinker Materials supplied the concrete for the foundation pour, which took place from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Corus Bank of Chicago is financing the 275-unit Las Vegas condominium tower. Developed by Barclays North of Everett, Wash., the 700,000-square-foot high-rise will have 12,000 square feet of retail space and seven levels of parking.

Echelon Place Las Vegas Rises From Stardust Hotel Las Vegas

Stardust hotel stops reservations after November 1, 2006.

$4 billion Echelon Place Las Vegas, developed by Boyd Gaming, will rise from the rubble of early next year.

Previously, Boyd Gaming said it would accept reservations into December, now November 1, is the stop date.

Stardust neighbors are marketing themselves actively to Boyd Gaming customers in light of the development of the 5,300-room Echelon Place Las Vegas, although they are hesitant to discuss their promotional efforts publicly.

The Riviera and Circus Circus, as well as the Sahara and Stratosphere Hotel Las Vegas clustered at the north end of the Strip, are all offering hotel room rates of less than $100 a night in November.

Rooms booked on the Internet at Wynn Las Vegas and The Venetian Hotel Las Vegas, by comparison, average more than $350 a night, and no rooms are available in November at less than $250.

The Stardust Hotel Las Vegas must be closed to make way for commercial real estate Echelon Place Las Vegas, resort and hotel, and should be closed quickly.
