Donald Trump Breaks Ground On Trump International Hotel and Tower Las Vegas

Fresh off the heels of the opening for the $2.7 Billion Wynn Las Vegas, comes Trump's lastest swing for the fences. Expected to be the tallest residential tower on the strip, and with a price tag of half a billion, you know bold-gold-and-gaudy is the design line.

The 64-story Trump International Hotel and Tower Las Vegas is going up on a portion of the New Frontier hotel-casino property -- across from the newly opened Wynn Las Vegas resort and next to the Fashion Show Mall.

It's due to open in early 2008 -- clad in gold glass with white trim -- with the Trump name on top.
It'll have almost 13-hundred luxury residential and hotel units, a spa and restaurants.
Priced between 600-thousand and six (M) Million dollars, they've already sold out.

But the real story here may be the rebirth of the North-end of the Las Vegas strip, sparked by Steve Wynn's massive gamble.

Perhaps the biggest story involving this hotel (Wynn Las Vegas) is not so much the aesthetics of it, but what it will actually do and already has done to the power-core of the Las Vegas strip. For years, the strip has been dominated by the big players on the South end of it (Bellagio, Mirage, etc.). With Wynn opening on the forgotten North end of the strip, all of a sudden old relics like the Sahara, Stardust and Riviera find themselves back in the spotlight, back in action and in the crosshairs of a revitalization movement they did nothing to create.
