Las Vegas Strip Construction, 2008

Las Vegas Development
Construction cranes dominate the Las Vegas Strip in 2008, a period of significant expansion for the city's resort and casino industry. The image shows several large-scale projects underway, including what would become the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, a luxury resort and casino that broke ground in 2007. This era of development reflected the city's continued growth as a major tourist destination, despite the looming economic recession. The construction sites represent the ambition and investment poured into creating new entertainment venues and accommodations on the famed Las Vegas Boulevard.
