The Donald has officially arrived in Las Vegas. A glitzy ground breaking ceremony was held last week on the new Trump International condominium hotel tower planned for six acres behind the Frontier hotel on The Strip. The 64-story tower is the first of two planned for the property, each containing over 1,200 units that will range in sale price from $600,000 to more than $6 million. Also now open is the $3 million sales center right on The Strip between the Fashion Show Mall and the Frontier, directly across the street from Wynn Las Vegas, although stopping there may be strictly for curiosity purposes since, according to Mr. Trump, all of the units have already been spoken for in both buildings.
The owners of the condos will have the option to put them in a rental pool so average Joes like you and me will have a chance to stay in them like any other hotel unit.
The property will not have a casino but will have several on site amenities including dining and retail outlets.
The first tower is scheduled to open in early 208.

On the New Frontier Property
Meanwhile, on the same property, a temporary building is under construction that will house the sales and preview center for the Trump International condo towers planned for the back of the New Frontier site. In typical Trump fashion, the “temporary” building will cost around $3 million to construct. It’ll be open in June with construction of the first of the two towers expected to begin this spring.

Trump Trumps Himself With Second Tower
The Apprentice may not be faring as well in the ratings, but Mr. Trump is apparently having no problems selling condos in Vegas. Before a shovel of earth has been turned, more than 80 percent of the units in the proposed Trump International Tower have been reserved. The success has led The Donald to announce a second tower for the development – a twin for the $300 million, 64-story, 1,200-plus unit tower currently planned for about three acres behind the New Frontier. Ground breaking for the first tower, which will include hotel rooms, is expected in April of 2005 with completion in 2006. No word on a timetable for sales or construction of the second tower yet.
