Photos are actually better but had to dumb them down file size to big for AWS. From Wikipedia: Total cost of approximately $11 billion, City Center is the largest privately financed development in the United States also says six deaths have occurred since construction began. One of the deaths was an oilier on a Manitowoc 2250 crawler crane crushed as it was swinging. I saw an oilier working when I was there appeared he needed to get the hell out of the way don't know if it was the same guy. He was standing between the track and would duck when the house would spin around above him. Must have been 400 man lifts on site.

Looks like those guys are going to have some steady work for awhile. I was out at the pipefitters L.U. 525 hall during the Vegas AWS show and I couldn't believe how many guys had books out of there. CRAZY. Their hall is one to be matched, let me tell ya!!!!

I walked by that job when I was out there, blocked out the sun on the srtip for a block.
Not to bad looking from the ground though, archetechs dream come true.
