News of the completion of the CityCenter Complex on the Vegas strip has been bittersweet.
At long last - a section of the boulevard that was once swamped with ubiquitous construction crews in hard hats holding up traffic (and prone to nasty dust bowl configurations that triggered many a tourist's search for prettier climbs elsewhere) - is about to transform into a dazzling jewel known as the CityCenter.
Unfortunately, workers who were gainfully employed for months on end, must wrap up their tool kits and move on.
Hopefully, with the holiday season upon us, there will be ample work to keep the home fires burning cozily.
On air at one of the Vegas TV stations, a couple of locals were lamenting to all within earshot, that they were thoroughly annoyed about being turned away from a swank new Hotel ( Mandarin) just opening its doors at the chi chi multi-million-dollar complex.
"Since when do we have a dress code in Vegas," one disgruntled desert resident wailed!
I expect that if a posse of those cowboys in town for the rodeo shuffle over for an exotic cocktail and a lookie-loo, they'd be wise to don their Sunday best, and scrape the manure off their boots, too.
Meanwhile, condo builders at the site are praying for an economic turn-around, so that a handful of the emptyluxury units will start moving in the New Year.
Although pricey, the residences are quite appealing in design, with quite a few amenities.
Notwithstanding, just outside the perimeters of the residential housing, there are quite a few swank boutiques and trendy eateries to satisfy the most discerning self-indulgent lifestyle.
News at 11!
