Despite the general economic downturn in the American economy, and in the building industry in particular, Las Vegas continues evolving and expanding.

The much heralded and highly anticipated city within a city, City Center in Las Vegas has run into some funding problems, but no doubt will be completed, more or less per plan.

Now, the second city within a city in Las Vegas is about to be born, as Mayor Oscar Goodman's long time dream of a renewed Downtown Las Vegas will soon become reality.

Naturally there will be at least one casino/hotel, after all this is Las Vegas, but the majority of this project will consist of a performing arts center, office space and residential units.

This latest Las Vegas wonder called, Union Park, should provide a much needed enhancement to Downtown Las Vegas.
