Three 40-story towers at The Residences at MGM Grand under construction

Construction is underway and work is ahead of schedule on all three towers at The Residences at MGM Grand, a condominium-hotel being built on the northeast end of MGM Grand’s 116-acre property.

“We began construction on Tower C three months early because sales were moving so quickly,” said Dan Riordan, director of sales for The Residences at MGM Grand. “We have less than one-third of the residences remaining in Tower C, and once those are gone, we’ll be sold out. Prospective buyers who want to own a prime piece of real estate overlooking the Las Vegas Strip won’t find a better location or amenity package than we offer at The Residences at MGM Grand.”

A joint venture between MGM Grand and developer Turnberry Associates, The Residences at MGM Grand offers the exclusivity of a condominium community and the excitement of MGM Grand’s premier amenities.

“Many of our buyers want to be able to walk to the attractions on the Strip, they want the amenities of a world-class hotel at their fingertips and they want to enjoy the standard of excellence that Turnberry and MGM are bringing to this development,” Riordan said.

Fully-furnished studio, one and two bedroom combination suites are available in Tower C and they are ideal for people who want to enjoy a low-maintenance, luxury lifestyle. When complete, The Residences will house 1,727 total residences.

“The Residences provides a turnkey lifestyle of convenience where you can live part-time or year round and come and go as you please,” Riordan said. “Many people are opting to use their residence as a second or vacation home and plan to invite their family and friends to visit.”

Residences will be fully furnished and boast crown moldings, raised panel wood doors, plush wall-to-wall bedroom carpeting, high-speed voice/data connectivity, granite countertops, imported Italian kitchen cabinetry by Snaidero, and private owners’ closets for added storage space. Additional highlights include Sub-Zero refrigeration, Miele appliances, luxurious bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs and ultra-thin flat screen HDTVs.

Prices range from $550,000 to more than $2.5 million.

Residents will have the luxury of world-class amenities at their fingertips. Highlights include MGM Grand’s 171,000-square-foot casino, a lush outdoor pool complex with five swimming pools and private cabanas, the Grand Spa with 30 treatment rooms, a variety of signature and casual restaurants featuring award-winning chefs, shopping outlets, and entertainment, including Cirque du Soleil’s newest show, KŔ.

Each of the three towers will feature 24-hour front desk and concierge services, in-suite dining and a guarded security entrance. Residents can stay in shape at the state-of-the-art fitness centers or relax at one of the exclusive swimming pool complexes.

The 6,000-square-foot sales and information office, which features a designer-furnished two-bedroom model residence, is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. in MGM Grand’s Studio Walk.

The development is under construction on 15 acres south of the Las Vegas Beltway, just west of Buffalo Drive.

TRUMP INTERNATIONAL

Well, after what seems like years of "The Donald" saying he's going to do something in our town, it looks like it's finally going to happen. Donald Trump says he'll build a 64-story hotel and apartment tower on the New Frontier property. He promised his Trump International Hotel and Tower will shake up Las Vegas' already thriving timeshare and high-rise residential markets. "It's going to be a spectacular building," Trump said, like he's going to say anything less.

The $300-million project is a 50-50 venture between Trump and New Frontier owner Phil Ruffin, whose names have often been linked to rumored redevelopment of that hotel-casino's 41-acre site. Ruffin said the tower will use just 3.5 acres, leaving plenty of room for nearby changes. At 645 feet, Trump says his would be the tallest building in Las Vegas. Actually, the 1,149-foot-tall Stratosphere Tower is by far the tallest, but Trump responds, "That's not a building." Love him or hate him, it's good to see him finally coming to Las Vegas. Can only give us even more exposure.

The 1.6 million-square-foot building will include more than 1,000 hotel-style units ranging in size from 636 square feet to 1,057 square feet; some units can be combined to form 1,693-square-foot suites. Ruffin said the units will be sold, but owners can lease space on a time-share basis through Trump's management company. The tower will include 50 apartments ranging from 3,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet. Luxury features include a spa, salon and restaurants.

TURNBERRY TOWERS

Each Turnberry tower will feature a fitness facility, an outdoor pool with a sun deck, lavish landscaping, tennis courts and 24-hour security.

Homes are being offered in the second 45-story tower at Turnberry Towers in Las Vegas, a condominium development by Turnberry Associates, which has more than 35 years of experience in the industry.

Construction of the East Tower began last June, just three months after sales began, and construction of the West Tower is expected to begin early this year.

When completed in 2008, Turnberry Towers will house 636 condominiums.

Priced from $500,000 to more than $1.3 million, the homes come in floor plans with one bedroom and 11/2 baths; two bedrooms and two baths; two bedrooms, a den and two baths; and three bedrooms and 21/2 baths.

The one-bedroom residence features an open kitchen that extends to the great room. The home also has a bar.

The two-bedroom residence with a den features floor-to-ceiling windows, a spacious living room and spectacular 180-degree views of the Las Vegas Strip and surrounding mountains. Similar views are provided by a two-bedroom, two-bath residence that takes up an entire floor of the West Tower.

Situated on the top 12 floors of the towers, the three-bedroom residences feature oversized balconies overlooking the Strip.

All of the contemporary-style residences, which feature 9-foothigh ceilings, will be finished with Italian marble baths and Jacuzzi tubs, granite-topped Europeanstyle kitchen cabinets and General Electric Monogram appliances.

Smart Home technology will be provided. With the push of a button, residents will be able to request their car from the valet, communicate with the front desk, schedule a maintenance appointment or get information on the latest in dining and entertainment, among other options.

Within the gated community, which is designed by Robert M. Swedroe Architects and Planners, each tower will feature a fitness facility, an outdoor pool with a sun deck, landscaping, tennis courts and 24-hour security. Residents will be within walking distance of two Las Vegas Monorail stations at the Las Vegas Hilton and the Sahara.

The train takes passengers to hotels along the Strip.

Turnberry Associates Principal Jeffrey Soffer introduced the highrise condominium lifestyle to Las Vegas in 1998 with Turnberry Place. Currently, Turnberry has five high-rise residential towers under construction in Las Vegas, including the Residences at MGM Grand.

Turnberry has sold more than 3,000 condominiums in Las Vegas since 1999, according to John Riordan, Turnberry Associates senior vice president for sales and marketing, western region.
