It is the new athlete support center facility. I don't remember the official title. FWIW - It will have a pedestrian walkway on top (similar to the building behind vines) and a bridge crossing over to the other side.

The building is hilarious, but fortunately that is not the correct drawing. A bunch of national sites have posted a photoshopped drawing (the phallic tower). :oops: Here is the correct drawing of the new Freedom Tower:

I think it looks fantastic! I get tired of the Liberal Media taking cheap and untrue shots at LU. Makes me so mad. This is a wonderful building and I can't wait for it to be finished. Then Jerry Jr. can tell all of the Big Libs to SUCK IT! :)

Much much better. Still not sure why it had to be 'the biggest' but I guess some people are in to that

If anyone has stood on the observation deck of the one-third replica of the Eiffel Tower at Kings Dominion or Kings Island in Ohio, that's only 264 feet tall, and LU's tower will be 275 feet tall.

The people at Kings Dominion and Kings Island say you can see 18 miles away from their observation decks.

I've been to the one in Vegas. Had a real nice dinner with Mrs Purple and gave her a 10 th Anniversary ring that I may or may not have paid for with gambling winnings

I have also been to the one in Vegas. Then I went to the Stratosphere and rode Big Shot, X-Scream and Insanity.

Anyway, this picture looks like the one that was originally posted a while back and I am glad that the design did not change. This is definitely much better.

They clearly changed it because the rendering I posted was the one in the WSET link originally.

Yeah, the WSET link was the one that had the picture you posted. However, the one he posted was actually what it originally looked like. I'm guessing someone somewhere wanted to change it, it got the attention, and they changed it back...or something.

They let you sit in on the high rollers Bingo game? You don't ever sneak up to Runk and Pratt and clean 'em out, do you? :)

It seems like they changed their plans, unfortunately. At least they're still going forward with their redesign of the old circle.
