This poll is multiple choice, but please vote for no more than 3 options. First, second, and third place.


Fontainebleau is #1 by default, so no need to vote for it. Same goes for Echelon/Resorts World.

Im sure im forgetting a few eyesores. Feel free to discuss your own nominee.

Treasure island's new retail does look out of place. Sort of like lip stick on a pig theory.

But does it look any worse than a big green frog, on a very red sign, in the middle of a freakin pirate bay????


I love Excalibur. Why does everyone have a problem with that and Circus Circus?
Do you want more bland buildings that look like every other building? Good lord why?

Green frog?

Doesn't matter if the buildings are bland or colorful. We need buildings that will keep the tourists coming back. 42 million repeat visitors will dictate what stays and what goes. I like the Excalibur for the fact that my daughters think that it is a princess castle every time we pass by it.

Sorry, you guys didn't give me time to add the poll!!


My vote goes to Slotzilla. Way to sell out your city LV council! The heart of your city no less. Do they have any pride or standards? What was once a great streetscape is ruined. I loved Fremont Street. The tower is hideous and the main street platform/stage is even worse. It's a nightmare.




How could they approve blocking off main street like that? Could they at least paint it? It looks like cardboard. It's not even centered on the street!!!



Runner up, Excalibur. Excalibur could have been awesome if it was constructed with better materials. You know, something resembling stone. As it is, it looks like a dirty styrofoam lego castle.
