City Center Workers Walk OFF Job

I reprted last night that MGM's Multi million dollar development was getting ready to lose one of it's main assets, it's construction workers. Work usually goes on around the clock at CityCenter, the largest private commercial development in U.S. history so if workers aren't working there will be delays with the completion of the massive multi billion dollar develeopment. It's sad to see so many people loose their lives on the job, this latesyt death was the sixth person to have lost their life at MGM's City Center construction site. Workers have formed a picket line in front of the developments strip entrance. There is no time line set for how long work will be stopped on City Center but according to sources the workers are refusing to go back to work under the same unsafe conditions. Click Here to watch a short video of the picket line on the strip in front of city center & Click Here to watch a video of the announcement that was made by union leaders who are demanding action be taken from the general contractor. I will continue to keep everyone posted on this story so please check back soon.

This late breaking news has just hit about 20 minutes ago. The Las Vegas Sun is reporting a massive walk off from construction workers at the multi billion dollar development City Center. According to the article that was published at 9:20pm on 06/02/08 "Union leaders affiliated with the Southern Nevada Building and Construction Trades Council agreed that workers will walk off the job because of safety concerns and the lack of proper response from the site's general contractor, Perini Building Company, according to Steve Redlinger a consultant for the council.
Workers will picket in front of CityCenter until an agreement is reached, Redlinger said" I didn't have a clue this was coming and i don't think anyone else knew either based on how this story has been released. Construction workers will begin picketing at midnight to night and wont stop until there is some type of resolution. Will there be a resolution before midnight to night so that the show can go on or will this massive multi billion dollar super development come to a scretching hault, check back soon for more updates.

Condo Hotels In Las Vegas. Safe Bet Or are The Odds Against You?

There have been many questions surrounding the new Las Vegas Condo Hotel opportunity's since their debut. One question is, will they actually produce some sort of cash flow for the owners, and another question is will they last? I have some thoughts about these kinds of projects i would like to share with everyone. First things first you have to understand that every persons situation is different and not every condo hotel was bought in the same conditions. For example you might have paid more for a unite than the person who owns the one across the hall from you which would mean that theirs might produce cash flow before yours because of the lower purchase price. Another thing you must think and know about before you buy is what are the management fees and any other cost that come along with owning a property of this nature. Allot of disgruntled buyers are upset at the wrong people over their situations, blaming their problems on the developer or management company's when in fact they should be furious with who ever, if anybody, represented them in their purchase. I feel that it is the responsibility of the Realtor who is representing the buyer to educate them and make them aware of everything before they purchase otherwise they could quit possibly end up loosing money or their property. There have been Condo Hotel buyers who have had great success and others who have had nothing but head aches. I feel that people who are upset and disgruntled get a whole lot more attention than anyone who has been successful with there Condo Hotel from the news and other sources of media. I read in the Las Vegas Sun today a very interesting story about the Condo Hotel scene that made made some very interesting points. (read the full article here) Like i have said before and i will say it again you always need to make sure that your have the best representation possible when buying any kind of High Rise Condo here in Las Vegas whether it's a strictly residential development or Condo Hotel because there are allot of ins and outs that might be missed if you let your guard down. If you are a Las Vegas Condo Hotel owner and would like to express you satisfaction or dissatisfaction please leave your comments. Once again remeber to always get the best representation when buying any kind of Real Estae especially a luxury High Rose Condo here in Las Vegas.

Union Park has been Mayor Goodmans dream development to revitalize downtown Las Vegas for several years now. This massive work/live development is now underway with the infrastructure phase of construction underway residential and retail construction aren't to far behind. This is a new look for las Vegas which will draw new residence and professionals to Las Vegas to live and work which will in turn help out our local economy. The Union Park project is going to be a brand new look for Las Vegas, "The first phase of the Union Park infrastructure project is expected to take seven months to complete. Development will begin in the southern portion, from North Discovery Drive to Bonneville Avenue, first. When complete, the urban center will have about 3,100 high-rise residential units, 1,750 hotel rooms, 363,000 square feet of retail and 1.9 million square feet of Class A office space, according to city plans." and this town defiantly needs a new look and feel in my opinion. I am looking forward to the development of this huge project which will bring with it style and a whole lot of opportunity for investors, business owners, and professional.
