Las Vegas Montreux

The new Las Vegas Montreux will be a $1.9 billion, 2,750 room hotel and casino complex based on a Swiss theme. To me, a Swiss theme means mountains, but there aren’t any planned for the Montreux, and looking at it, I’m not entirely sure where the Swiss influences are!

Naturally, I’ve saved the best until last. If you’re blown away by the billions being spent on the hotels I’ve just mentioned (and remember, these hotels and casinos are all currently under construction – they’re not just a designer’s pipe-dream), wait until you hear about Project CityCenter.

Situated on the site of the old Boardwalk, opposite the Planet Hollywood hotel (the old Aladdin), CityCenter will contain over 7,000 hotel rooms across 5 separate buildings, the largest of which, the 4,000 room CityCenter resort and casino, will tower some 60 stories high. It will also offer a 165,000 square foot casino, a 70,000 square-foot spa, 2,000 seat theatre, and, yes, some shopping.
