Las Vegas Aladdin Hotel receives $140 million face lift with set completion for the end of 2006 for this 2,587 room Las Vegas resort.

The Westgate Resorts Las Vegas timeshare and Las Vegas condos tower is located east on Harmon Avenue. The Las Vegas Planet Hollywood Towers, like the Strip façade, will be under a change of appearance.

Some construction inside of the Planet Hollywood casino will be removal of a lounge to create more casino space. There will also be a new 1,500 seat auditorium and a retail area. The Desert Passage shopping mall will have new signage and better pedestrian corridors.

Construction has been more complex and taken a little longer than expected because the property has stayed open while the crews continue with the remodel.

The Las Vegas building boom worth $20 billion, a five year timeline, is under way on the Las Vegas Strip. It will roughly double the inventory of luxury hotel rooms costing $200 a night or more, a new Standard & Poor’s study said.

This newfound focus on upscale visitors is largely a response to continuing Las Vegas demographic shifts.

Real estate projects that S&P said probably would be completed include:

• The $1.8 billion Palazzo Las Vegas high rise with 3,025 rooms.

• The $1.7 billion Encore Wynn Las Vegas with 2,054 rooms.

• The $7 billion MGM Mirage Project CityCenter with 7,700 rooms.

• The $4 billion Echelon Place with 3,300 rooms.

Gordon Ramsey interview on 6/06/06 about “Hell’s Kitchen” Las Vegas FOX cooking show.

The culinary competition Hell’s Kitchen Las Vegas program starring frequently agitated English Chef Gordon Ramsay debuted with a two-hour episode at 8 p.m. Monday on Fox. The show brings together 12 would-be restaurateurs in a competition officiated by Ramsay, a self-described perfectionist who has been known to, shall we say, verbally tenderize his contestants.

The winner of “Hell’s Kitchen 2,” taped in February in a Los Angeles TV station converted to a restaurant (with some segments taped at Red Rock Resort Las Vegas), will work as an executive chef at TBones at Red Rock Resort Las Vegas . The victor will also be eligible to receive a financial interest in the restaurant.

During a conference call from London, Ramsay heaped praise on Las Vegas as a culinary mecca.

“Las Vegas is the Monte Carlo of America. I have never been in a city like it that houses so many top international chefs,” Ramsay said. “It’s not a playground with a few casinos. It’s a culinary capital of talent from around the world.”
