As more renderings and photos of Echelon Place are emerging, I felt it only best to create a new Echelon Place photo gallery. Seeing the pics in the main blog is OK, but you can’t get a sense of the detail, so as there’s more room in the gallery section, it seems best all round to place them there as well.
I’ll update this with more pics of Echelon Place, along with any construction pics that are released as well, as they come in. I’ll also be adding some more galleries in the near future, both of existing hotels and also of new Las Vegas hotels.
The somewhat bland renderings of the new Echelon Place that were released a few days ago caused something of an upset on the main Vegas forums. The renderings seemed to show a pretty soulless set of buildings that would look anonymous in any city, let alone a city like Las Vegas.
However, an anonymous building on the strip would mean almost certain death for any project, and certainly one costing over $4 billion. Fortunately, a new set of renderings have emerged that ad far more detail to Echelon Place’s current design, and as you can see, this set looks far more spectacular than the last one.
More pics of Echelon Place after the jump.
Boyd Gaming gave us all an update on its progress with Echelon Place yesterday, announcing that thye’d broken ground and construction was about to begin in earnest. Tantalisingly, they also announced that new renderings of the $4 billion mega-resort would be made available, but hadn’t actually released them to the public - until today.
Here, then, are those renderings. The first picture (above), shows an aerial rendering of the entire complex, and mighty impressive it looks, too. However, the second rendering (below, after the jump), is marginally less exciting. In fact, it’s quite dull looking!
