Thanks, TAB! I love stuff like this. It is amazing how much they had to do in the last 5 months. Such a beautiful hotel.

It was interesting to watch. Especially the part about the fake metal floor.Quote:

I'm excited t watch the whole thing. My heart was pounding for the steel beams and crane portions. I don't know how they do those jobs!

I know, Dina. When they were working 700 feet above the strip pretty much hanging on to a single beam. And those beams weighing 50k lbs. swinging across the strip. Don't think I would want to be walking underneath them.
And with their work space being so tight that all of the material was being held on a site 18 miles away. Truly fascinating!

Very interesting! The fake floor didn't surprise me, it's nothing new, but it didn't occur to me that the casino would worry about it. Those are the little things they think about that we don't. Thanks for sharing.
That was awesome! I learned a bunch and enjoyed it all. The iron workers. the rabbit, how far they had to transport stuff every day, and the crane operator - I didn't know much about any of that. Some of those guys are like Cirque performers at times!
I have seen the raised floor when they have been rearranging stuff on the slot floor, and didn't know that it was unique. So cool!
Thanks TAB, I loved it!
I called shenanigans on the Venetian renovation, the bathroom wasn't redone as far as I'm aware. Same marble sinks bud! Other than that, cool to see!
@zeus and @Nhcris, the tight space issue is very similar to what goes on in Manhattan. I'm amazed at these ginormous buildings being built and there's almost zero extra space. It seems sometimes like they take over the sidewalk in front of their site, have a loading dock and that's it.
I go by the Hudson Yards site almost every morning. It's the largest construction site in NYC at the moment I think. The number of cement trucks lined up to deposit cement ... goes on for blocks some days. The logistics involved are incredible.

If by some chance, I even was able to step out on a beam, I would freeze from fear. They'd need to pull me back . LolQuote:

You know, I never thought about NYC, but you are so right. If I worked in the city with a view of it all my productivity would plummet. [emoji2]Quote:

@DK528, I would be a nervous wreck walking around where all that is going on above me every day. I know you must get used to it, but it kind of makes me glad I live out in the woods. All I worry about is 60 feet trees coming down!
But it really is fascinating to see everything that goes into building something of the magnitude. I will have a better appreciation for so much of the property next time I am there. And I am truly amazed that we don't hear of more accidents with so many of these projects going on all over the country. It's truly remarkable.
That was great!
Nice wish there was more shows like this on thanks for the link
Is the Palazzo just remodeled rooms or is it Venetian?

This was really interesting, I like watching things like this. My husband is in the building trades and this what he does, people don't realize what electricians do when they are working on a building from ground up, they are one of the first trades on a site and one of the last to be done. @Nhcris, my husband always says no one on a job ever messes with the iron workers! He works with a few guys who spent a year in Vegas working back when most of the first casinos on the strip where being built.

D, good to see you, buddy! You must be working around the dang clock. I guess making that BR for the next trip. Slow down before you make an old man out of yourself.Quote:
