Permission has been obtained to build the tallest hotel on the strip to date, at about 1,000 fet in height. By comparison, the Stratosphere Tower is about 1,100 feet tall. The tallest purely hotel tower, the still under construction Fontainebleau measures about 750 feet. The new, currently nameless, hotel dwarfs anything that came before. The FAA has given approval so maybe this project will materialize. Keep in mind that fantasy project that come to reality are as rare as a million dollar jackpot.

By contrast, we, dear reader stick to reality. With that in mind we donate this space to a local artist. The artist of the month is an author with several books on the market. They are; Nevada a Strange State, Silveropolis, The Great Lake Mead Water Caper. I have read everyone of them. They range from interesting to fascinating and thrilling. Good reads all around. Hopefully you are able to help out with a purchase. For that we thank you. They are available on Amazon.
