The Remnants of the W Las Vegas Dream Still Remain

Even in the boomtime of the hospitality industry, The W Las Vegas could never get off the ground. By May 2007, the project had officially crapped out due to rising construction costs and growing financial requirements. Also, we think the Las Ramblas curse had something to do with it.

So when we were in Las Vegas last week, we happen to notice this sign. Sad. But even sadder, the W Las Vegas would have opened this year. The photo in the inset is a rendering of one of the proposed W rooms. Will W try their luck in Las Vegas again? Possibly as there is absolutely nothing happening on this site. But we wouldn't place any bets on it.
