    So, did two separate companies have plans to build a giant sky wheel at the same time? Did each know of the other's plans?

    I wonder how long they'll be there before someone buys the land to develop it, and tears them down.

    Contractor was using prison labor. When he stopped paying them, the project died.

    I was told that was owned by Sisolak and there was an issue with the airport that caused the construction to cease. I was also told Sisolak then sued the city and made a fortune off of the city.
    Is there any way to investigate this to see if it's true.
    I was also told Sisolak owned the land that was bought for the Allegiant Stadium which as well know should not have happened since it couldn't handle the parking necessary for the stadium.
    Anyone have the scoop on that one also?

    and boom..another massive project that bites the dust.. like the Frontier property that the Wynn corp bought and just "sits on" now.
    maybe another Indian outfit will buy this land up as well, to go with the property they have i think, right across the street.

    Lies, 2 companies put in the bid to get wheels in las vegas, this company started the project until they lost the bid to the competition which is the wheel that exist today. Your story is not totally true and start doing your investigation before you put out false information while trying get paid by vegas Corp to promote vegas strip
