MS Las Vegas Real Estate is always happy to receive and respond to comments from the blog. Hey John, thanks for the comment! No question about it, Donald Trump is a serious ego-maniac…..and that was before The Apprentice! The guy definetly believes too much of his own press. You’re quite right about his financial troubles back in 1989, and I think Citibank was more worried about what it might do to them if he defaulted than what it would mean for “The Donald”. I’m not sure that his exit from Las Vegas will be as swift as you think though. Remember, this is not a gaming property, this is a luxury high-rise Las Vegas real estate development. One thing you can say about Trump, his success in the luxury high-rise market in NYC and Florida is difficult to argue against. The Las Vegas development is extrememly similar to the Trump International in New York. Anybody been there recently? Is the building as beautiful as it looks in photographs? How about more commentary about Trump in Las Vegas? You can view John Madonna’s comments and others as well by clicking on the “last comments” link right below the calendar on the right side of the blog. Who doesn’t have an opinion about Donald Trump!?!

As Donald Trump entered the Las Vegas real estate market by breaking ground at Trump International Hotel & Tower last Wednesday, officials representing a different Trump project were preparing a sales meeting/party for real estate brokers and agents at Bellagio. Ivana Las Vegas is the newly announced condominium tower at the Strip and Sahara Avenue. In addition to lending her name to “brand” the project, Ivana Trump will assist in designing interiors for these Las Vegas luxury homes. The 923-foot Ivana Las Vegas will have 943 units ranging from 500 square feet to 1,900 square feet. Prices begin at about $800,000 and go up to $1.7 million. On-site amenities will include an ultra lounge, a spa, restaurants and a gym. Will this newest high-rise tower actually get built? The Donald doesn’t think so….something to do with financing.

An NBA team is negotiating to buy an entire floor of the 64-story Trump International Hotel & Tower that opens in mid-2007, a spokesman for Donald Trump confirmed. In case you were wondering, that’s 28 apartments total! How much? About $20 million. Now that’s a serious investment in Las Vegas real estate!

Groundbreaking for Donald Trump’s first ever Las Vegas real estate development is set for July 12. The $500 million, 64-story Trump International Hotel and Tower will be built across from the Fashion Show mall. The project’s 1,282 Las Vegas luxury homes were 100 percent reserved as of early May, and Trump has said he plans to add an identical 64-story tower to the site. The first tower will include 880 studio units and 352 one-bedroom condominiums on floors 16 through 59, and 50 suites of one, two, or three bedrooms on the top five floors. Prices range from $600,000 to $6 million. Is Trump himself coming to the Vegas groundbreaking? Of course! Wouldn’t you want to make your claim to the finest in high-rise Las Vegas real estate in person?

Two Las Vegas real estate penthouse condominiums at Turnberry Place will be offered at live federal public auction on Wednesday, May 18, at 2 p.m. at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel. Interested bidders may also participate online through a live Internet simulcast of the auction that allows online bidders to compete against in-person bidders. Now, how do you think these two incredible pieces of high-rise Las Vegas luxury real estate ended up in the hands of the federal government? Take a guess.

Here’s some red-hot Las Vegas real estate! Reservations have been completed for all 1,283 units in tower 1 of Trump International Las Vegas. A second tower is planned and it seems as if they’ll need it. The big job now is to turn those $20k reservations into complete transactions. Trump Las Vegas will include 880 studio units and 352 one-bedroom condominiums on floors 16 through 59, and 50 suites of one, two, or three bedrooms on the top five floors. Prices range from $600,000 to $6 million. Call MS Las Vegas Real Estate for more info at 888-349-2595.

A twin-tower high-rise Las Vegas luxury real estate project is planned for development by The Congress Group of Boston. The site for this newest proposed high-rise is the Scandia Family recreation center adjacent to the I-15 freeway near Sahara Avenue. Various Las Vegas real estate experts are predicting that less than half of the projects currently announced for development will actually come to fruition.

Florida-based Turnberry Associates confirmed Wednesday that it has secured a 3.6-acre parcel of Las Vegas real estate on the Strip, the former site of the $400 million Krystle Sands high-rise condominium development.

Krystle Sands, a planned 45-story, 568-unit condominium hotel, is no longer offering units for sale and many Las Vegas real estate experts believe it could be just the first of many of the 100 or so announced high-rise local projects to fail. The project received zoning approval from the Clark County Commission in April 2004 for a 510-foot tower. Las Vegas can expect some turbulence in the high rise condominium market going forward. MS Las Vegas Real Estate would highly advise the professional services of an experienced Las Vegas real estate agent to assist in the exploration of high rise condo opportunities. This is not a market for amateurs or do-it-yourself types.

A new development of high-rise Las Vegas real estate is set to commence construction within a month. Turnberry Towers will be comprised of two 45-story buildings that will provide 636 Las Vegas homes. The first tower is scheduled for completion in early 2007. These beautiful new high-rise Las Vegas luxury homes will be designed in contemporary style and finished with Italian marble baths and jacuzzi whirlpool tubs, granite countertops and European kitchen cabinetry and General Electric Monogram appliances.

The constantly expanding high-rise condo market in Las Vegas will gain another player. The Palms announced plans on Wednesday to add a 50-story luxury tower that will provide additional romping room for the property’s celebrity clientele. Palms developer George Maloof said the residential project is part of a $600 million expansion at the 4-year-old property. Already under construction is a 40-story hotel tower that will have 347 rooms and suites along with entertainment offerings, two new restaurants, a 2,200-seat showroom, and an 8,000-square-foot recording studio. The 34-acre site on West Flamingo Road will eventually encompass 1,300 rooms in three towers once the current expansion is completed. Las Vegas real estate gets another boost from a casino company that looks to combine additional hotel rooms with high-rise condo units for sale. Through the Maloof family’s network of Palms customers, including sports figures, actors and actresses, recording artists and other celebrities, sales have been brisk. The units are priced from $500,000 to $7 million.

The Greek Isles Hotel on Convention Center drive (right next to the Marriot) is yet another building in the immediate strip area that is sitting on land that’s just too valuable for the building itself. Moshe Mor, president of M&M Real Estate Development of Queens, N.Y., said Monday his investment group will pay $52 million for the Greek Isles, which Chicago-based Mark IV Realty owns. Mor said he hopes to close the transaction in April. What are the plans? To demolish the current 206-room hotel (of course) and build a 600-room luxury condo project (yes, another one) on the main portion of the site. Las Vegas High-Rise Condos….there’s no end to the projects because there is still no end to the demand. The product demands global attention and the market for High Rise Las Vegas real estate reflects this more every day. The Showcase Mall (right on the strip in front of MGM) is about to get in the game as well. San Francisco-based City Center Retail and partner Angelo Gordon & Company bought the Showcase Mall two weeks ago as well as an adjacent 3/4 acre parcel where Denny’s now sits (next to the Walgreens). Mark Stefan, a City Center Retail principal, said Monday that the new owners will add up to 80 luxury condominium units on the parcel where Denny’s restaurant now sits just a few feet north of the Showcase mall. “It’s one of the few residential projects that is right on the Strip,” Stefan said. “A lot of the other (announced condominium) towers are set back, but this is (ideal) for somebody who wants to be right in the center of things.” MS Las Vegas Real Estate is fully prepared to present the entire range of options in the market for Las Vegas High Rise Condos.
