View North on the Strip
The blue building in the center is the Fontainebleau Resort Las Vegas. It was 70% complete and 2.9 billion dollars had been spent when construction was stopped. Chapter 11 bankrupcy started in 2009. As is the custom here in Las Vegas many lawsuits followed. At one point the then owner even sued himself !!! In 2010 Carl Icahn assumed part ownership for $150 million. It could be finished for about $1.5 billion but that now seems unlikely. If it were finished it would be the tallest building in Las Vegas. but now it is not a building, it is a construction site.
