The new Las Vegas Montreux will be a $1.9 billion, 2,750 room hotel and casino complex based on a Swiss theme. The Montreux will offer a giant 465-foot observation wheel similar to the London Eye, giving outstanding views across the Las Vegas strip. In addition, the Montreux will feature a 104,000 square foot casino, and a giant shopping mall that links directly to the existing Fashion Show giant shopping mall.
Located on the site of the old Frontier (which was demolished a while ago), The Montreux will be an upmarket hotel, featuring bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Given its location immediately opposite the new Wynn Encore and in front of the new Echelon Place (both new mega-casinos currently under construction), it’ll have to be upmarket, though, as a downmarket place in an upmarket neighbourhood is not going to draw the crowds.
The Las Vegas Montreux is expected to open in early 2009.

Towards the north end of the Las Vegas strip, the new Cosmopolitan Hotel and resort is under construction. Situated next to the famous Bellagio Hotel, the Cosmopolitan will be a $2 billion hotel and casino featuring 3,000 condo units, 800 hotel rooms, a 75,00 square foot casino and over 300,00 square feet of retail space. It will even boast 40,000 square feet for a spa!
The Cosmopolitan will be the last word in luxury, and will boast stunning views of the famous Bellagio fountains. Opening late 2009, the Cosmopolitan has no theme, unlike the Montreux, just sheer exclusivity.
The Palazzo also focuses on luxury (a common theme in the latest Vegas hotels), and will feature a 60 foot glass domed entry lobby, flanked by fountains that reach two-stories high. Built to the same stunning attention to detail as The Venetian, it will offer:
3,025 rooms in its 50-floor hotel tower
a 105,00 square feet casino that will have room for 1,900 slot machines
450,000 sqaure feet of meeting space and convention space
375,000 square feet for shops.
There’s even an underground car park for guests. Unlike other hotels around the world, though, the Pallazo will make sure you’ll be able to find a parking space - it has room for 4,000 cars, all beneath the building!
The Palazzo is costing $1.8 billion, and its construction is currently well under way. The grand opening is expected to be late 2007, early 2008.
Echelon Place will feature the following:
The main hotel (the Echelon Place Hotel), comprising 2,600 rooms;
the 700 room Echelon Place suites tower;
the 1,000 room Mondrian Hotel;
the 600 room Delano Hotel;
the Shangri-La Hotel, offering 400 rooms.
the third largest casino in Las Vegas with 140,000 square feet!
two theatres (one with 4,000 seats)
a 750,000 square feet convention centre
30 restaurants and bars
350,000 square feet of shopping space.
All the new hotels feature large shopping malls. More compitetion, better buys for you!
Echelon Place will open in 2010 and we will be there!
