The Trump International Hotel & Tower – In his Image

Every thing Donald Trump does is in keeping with his larger than life image and flamboyance. It looks like his Las Vegas venture is just that and more. This USD 300 million was booked fully within days of announcement of the project. Eager investors have deposited either $10,000 or $20,000 for each of the 1282 units in this 64 story high rise, which will be the tallest in Las Vegas. Of course that will be till the project of a certain ex- Mrs. Trump takes shape! However, we are not here to talk about the proposed luxury tower, Ivana, but the two million square foot tower that will be encased in 24-carat gold glass, The Trump International Hotel & Tower.

The ground breaking ceremony took place on12th July 2005 so we do have long way to go. None-the-less Trump envisages his pet project to be the most incredible landmark in Las Vegas when completed. The attention to detail is exceptional and I guess the unrivalled luxury will be reflected in every aspect of the building. Once you enter Trump Towers chances are you find yourself in a time warp. The Brecchia Onecciata marble floors below Italian crystal chandeliers and the Lalique-inspired glass panel at the Brazilian rosewood registration desk are reminiscent of the 1930s. The lobby floor with its oversized brick design and inlaid pattern of St. Laurent, Calcutta Gold and Emperador Light marbles reeks of opulence. It doesn’t end there, as gold and silver accents are part of the scene all through. The decorative panels of the wall are flanked by copper-colored silk drapes and the classic accent pieces, a circular ottoman and a Brazilian rosewood table, are outstanding.

The overall impression and style sends you back to a glamorous hotel of a bygone era that you see in the movies. Apparently, the designers want to be distinctive by using a twist on a classic design. The lavish interiors, incredible luxury and sumptuous furnishings will no doubt be accompanied by exceptional personal service and inimitable pampering. As I mentioned, Donald Trump's first Las Vegas development received tremendous response; of course the bookings still have to fructify into actual sales. The building is being built on a portion of the Frontier Hotel property, across from the Wynn Las Vegas resort project and golf course and next to the Fashion Show Mall. This will be the most luxurious and incredible condo-hotel ever built in Las Vegas. The units are an outstanding investment as Donald Trump has already announced that the price of units in the planned second phase will be 35% higher.

Work seems to be progressing steadily. A Fortune 500® leader in mechanical and electrical construction, energy infrastructure and facilities services has recently announced that it has been awarded the project for mechanical and plumbing systems including a 2,700-ton central air conditioning plant on a design / assist basis. Trump has already announced plans for a Trump Towers in Philadelphia and is eying land in north Texas as the next location for high-end condos, Trump Towers Dallas!
