Echelon Place was an unfinished hotel, casino, shopping, and convention complex on the Las Vegas Strip, developed by Boyd Gaming. It was to be a multi-use project on with a casino, 4 hotels providing 5,300 rooms, 25 restaurants and bars, and the Las Vegas ExpoCenter. Echelon Place would have been a 3,300 room hotel owned and operated by Boyd; other hotels were expected to be a Shangri-La Hotel, a Delano Hotel, a Mondrian Hotel, and the Echelon Tower. Construction of the project was suspended on August 1, 2008 due to the effects of the Great Recession. In March 2013, the Genting Group bought the site, with plans to develop it as a 3,500-room hotel and casino named Resorts World Las Vegas. == History == Boyd Gaming acquired several properties to build the resort. It acquired the Budget Suites adjacent to the Stardust site and the land between the Stardust and the Westward Ho. On October 2, 2006 Boyd Gaming acquired of land adjacent to the site from Harrah's Entertainment in exchange for the Barbary Coast Casino. Boyd Gaming announced the Echelon project on January 4, 2006, to replace the Stardust Resort & Casino. On November 1, 2006, the Stardust was closed and was imploded on March 13, 2007. The cost of the new resort was estimated at $4 billion, with construction beginning in 2007, and opening initially planned for 2010. On August 1, 2008, Boyd Gaming announced that construction would be halted for 3 to 4 quarters due to economic conditions. Amid falling profits in 2009, Boyd announced that the project would be suspended for at least three to five years. As late as 2012, Boyd Gaming stated that it still hoped to finish Echelon Place and that it was determined to have a place on the Las Vegas Strip. It received an extension until 2018 from Clark County to finish the project. However in March 2013, Boyd sold the Echelon site for $350 million to the Genting Group, a Malaysia-based gaming company. Genting announced plans to develop the site as Resorts World Las Vegas, with construction beginning in 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Echelon Place」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
