Check back on the beginning of the Project City Center photos here. See the newest update here. The city within a city is beginning to show foundation…lots of it. I was out cruising the heat filled streets when I decided to veer offinto the employee parking area off of the Strip onto Harmon. The entry was open but I was stopped immediately by a female security guard. A green plastic something or other covers all the chain link fence around the construction area and it’s impossible to tell what’s on the other side of it.
