The reality is that the exterior has been finished for somewhere near five or six years. No matter how fine you finish a house, it shouldn't take a total of eight or ten years. Oh, I forgot to say, IMHO.

That thing has been under "construction" for so long, I understand they're on their 3rd remodel of the kitchen--first tearing out the advocado appliances/harvest gold formica countertops; cycled through almond appliances and Corian countertops; now they've got to contend with stripping out the bubble-era SS & GCT. Will the county ever realize any decent property tax revenue from this place?...I'm betting not....oh, IMHO.

Like I said before, the Bellagio in Vega took 5 years to complete--from implosion of the Dunes in '93 until it opened in '98. If Hilton really wanted to complete that thing, it would have been done a long time ago--including successfully dodging the requirement for turtle lighting. This construction project doesn't impress me in the least--I'm more impressed with grassroots efforts of the folks who are putting up housing around NOLA for the poor folks who lost all to Katrina.
