Las Vegas Wants To Build A Downtown

"For its architectural antics, [Las Vegas] has found both acclaim and derision. And now there's a new move, perhaps the most head-spinning of all. Las Vegas wants to build a real downtown... [Las Vegas] wants tall office buildings, urban dwellers in swank condominiums, an arts district with residential lofts, a medical research center, a museum, a sports arena, and a performing arts center." Developers from across the U.S. will be be competing for the multi-billion dollar project. According to noted California architect the problem with downtown Los Vegas is that "There is no there, there."
