From what I read people seem to find the countless rumors of a Ferris Wheel on the Las Vegas strip funny. I’m not sure if it the Ferris Wheel or the same idea being repeated over and over that’s funny. It’s probably a bit of both, but it seems as if the first straw has been drawn in the great Ferris Wheel battle.
The Clark County Commission approved the Skyvue Las Vegas Super Wheel project in March, and today with various public officials in attendance, groundbreaking ceremonies celebrated the clearing of the 11-acre site at Las Vegas Boulevard and Mandalay Bay Road.
The Ferris wheel is being touted as the largest in the Western Hemisphere and third tallest in the world. The project is also planned to include 200,000 square feet of restaurants, retail and entertainment uses.
I’m not sure this will ever be completed but the best thing about this, specific, project is that it’s on the south end of the strip. I’m not a kid person and I expect this will be a haven for kids (again, if it’s ever finished).
On a business side, this would be great for that area as that end of the strip is littered with middle to low end properties that are affordable for families. On the personal side, this only gives me reason to avoid that end of the strip – again, if it’s ever finished.
