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.

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.


Perhaps the most visually arresting aspect of these renderings is the design of the new Delano tower. Rather than being a simple vertical tower like Trump’s, the Delano is perched on top of the Mondrian tower, 400 feet in the air! Oddly, this isn’t shown in the earlier Echelon Place renderings that were released.

Just as impressive is the Delano’s core, which will apparently be encased by large pixellated LEDs, which should look fantastic at night. If there’s one thing Echelon Place won’t be, it’s anonymous!

Between them, the Delano and Mondrian Towers will feature:

• 1,400 rooms, suites, penthouses and bungalows (not sure how you can fit a bungalow into a skyscraper, but hey, this is Vegas, so anything’s possible!)
• 3-storey rooftop spa in the Delano
• Rooftop Skybar in the Mondrian
• Activity deck
• 400 foot rock climbing wall.

Two features that immediately jump out are the Mondrian’s rooftop Skybar, which should offer glorious views over the strip, and the 400 foot rock climbing wall, which by the sounds of it, should rise the entire height of the Mondrian tower! That has to be something else to see, whether looking up from the bottom or down from the top, never mind climbing the thing!

The other renderings give an idea of how other areas of Echelon Place will look, and the whole style seems seriously classy.
As more details emerge, Ecehelon Place is starting to look like it’ll fit in just fine on the strip, and should become a destination in its right. And don’t forget that these are renderings of just two of Echelon’s five towers – there’s a still another three that we have no details on yet. Echelon Place is shaping up to be a fine hotel, even if it doesn’t have a them.

Update: You can see these pics in a much better size in our new Echelon Place gallery.

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!

Hopefully this is just because it’s a poor rendering, as there’s little detail on display. This second rendering shows Echelon Place’s main entrance onto the Strip, but apart from the two giant towers in the background, it looks a bit, well, anonymous.

Time will tell, of course, what the finished project will look like, and any new renderings or pictures of Echelon Place will be published here as soon as they’re released. Keep checking back for more news as it happens, or add GloriousLasVegas’s newsfeed to your favourite news reader.
