back on Dec. 6, 2017<\/a>. And, no, we were not aware “panegyrizing” was a word until 12 seconds ago.<\/p>\nA release issue by Wynn Resorts contained a number of tasty nuggets: “The agreement completes a unique assembly of contiguous real estate of approximately 280 acres that spans from the Las Vegas Convention Center on Paradise Road from the east, to Industrial Road on the west. The combined frontage on the Las Vegas Strip is over 3,500 feet, including rights to approximately 1,000 acre feet of water. It is adjacent to nearly six million square feet of convention and exhibition space. The average cost of the full assembly of 280 acres is less than $3 million per acre.”<\/p>\n
The most intriguing part of the news release, of course, alluded to future plans for the Alon site (before that abandoned project, it was the site of the New Frontier casino).<\/p>\n
