I don't know where they're going to put all these giant structures but then I'm not an engineer.

Las Vegas continues reinventing itself and despite the amazing number of ongoing construction projects for new casinos and additions to recently erected mega-resorts there are even more projects on the drawing boards.

When I moved here nearly 20 years ago Las Vegas already seemed "finished", but in a few years the first of the mega-resorts went up, and it's been non stop ever since.

In about 5 years the Las Vegas Strip will be unrecognizable to anyone who hadn't visited within that time frame.

The latest of The Monster projects at the proposal stage is the brainchild of James Packer, the multi billionaire Australian business mogul.

His concept, the "Crown Las Vegas", will be the tallest building in the United States and boast a rather unique design that I find appealing.

Anyone who thinks that Las Vegas is about to take a rest or allow another part of the world to dominate the gaming scene will change their thinking when they realize just how much new investment capital is flowing into the city.
