New luxury hotels under construction in Vegas
The construction of new luxury hotels along the Las Vegas Strip is quickly changing the city's world-famous skyline.
ENCORE The sister property to Wynn Las Vegas will have about 2,000 rooms and its own shops and casino when it opens in December.
FONTAINEBLEAU The resort boasts it will have the world's largest rooftop pool. The 63-story tower, across from Circus Circus, is scheduled to open fall 2009.
CITYCENTER Under construction south of Bellagio, it is expected to open in late 2009. The 75-acre behemoth will feature the elegant Harmon, Mandarin Oriental and Vdara hotels.
ECHELON Another sprawling property will rise on the site of the former Stardust hotel. Scheduled to open in late 2010, it will include Delano, Mondrian and Shangri-La resorts.
