On March 15, 2005, Station Casinos announced an "Accelerated Expansion" plan to double the number of hotel rooms available in the tower. Ground was broken on Apwith a projected cost of $475 million. The project was designed by Portland, Oregon-based Architropolis, Las Vegas-based The Friedmutter Group and SADI, with landscape designed by Newport Beach, California-based Lifescapes International. The hotel tower was reduced in height to 198 feet (60 m) and the condominium towers were eliminated from the project. The problem was rooted in a zoning variance granted to the Howard Hughes Corporation from the normal 100 feet (30 m) to 200 feet (61 m) for the site when there was no development in the area.Īfter much discussion between Station Casinos, Howard Hughes Corporation, Clark County, and residents, a consensus was reached that allowed the project to move forward. While other aspects of the design were issues, such as the traffic impact and the brightness of the signs, it was the proposed 300 feet (91 m) tower and the inclusion of condominiums in the project that caused most of the concerns. Beginning in 2003 and continuing into 2004 there were significant discussions about the construction of the proposed towers.
