Two new 'mini-city' developments in Las Vegas could alter the Las Vegas landscape by the end of the decade.
"MGM Mirage announced... that it will build a $4 billion "city" on the Las Vegas Strip. The company says the massive development is the size of New York's SoHo district, Times Square and Rockefeller Center combined.
...At the same time, casino impresario Steve Wynn is planning to build a huge resort development behind his latest casino project, Wynn Las Vegas. According to the plans, described by several people familiar with them, the project would entail as many as a dozen resort hotels surrounding a vast lake that would be built behind the copper-colored Wynn Las Vegas tower that now is rising."
