Last week, the Echelon Place officially got under way. Located south of Circus Circus, the 87-acre development is expected to hold approximately 5,000 hotel rooms, 750,000 sf of convention and meeting space, 300,000 sf of retail, two live entertainment venues, 30 dining and nightlife venues and a 140,000-sf casino.
The total estimated development cost is $4.8 billion, up from a previous estimate of $4.4 billion. Initial completion for 65 of the 87 acres is slated for the third quarter 2010.
