River View? Not from this development.
It's easy enough to see how the breadth of the "public" plaza has been reduced from an earlier iteration of the proposed River View development to the newest one...

Disproportionate, multistory facades blockading the river, the loss of a significant piece of the commons, $12 million in public funding in the hole, and all the originality and authenticity of Vegas-- the next time I hear any of this touted as "public improvement" I'm going to laugh even harder.

But Jeff, I adore a penthouse view ... maybe they'll let me stand on the roof by the HVAC units.
