8/10

I'll give it a 6, but only because I'm kind (and haven't seen it in person so I have to be lenient).

That skyline sucks. Las Vegas sucks. 4

i feel u on that 1 Detroit

negative 10

Las Vegas isn't a real city. It's skyline isn't real.

Really unimpressive in the daytime. Very little density. Very small highrise area. 4.5/10.

nothin special....
skyline: 3.5
nightlife: 10POINTS
Me encanta LA CIUDAD DEL PECADO,,,,,,,,,,,,, :D

i dont like las vegas

looks fake and stupid
2/10

IT LOOKS AUWFUL! :rant:

The actual downtown skyline is pathetic considering the size of the city. The "strip" skyline, if you could even call it that, is not that great. Just a bunch of huge boxy hotel towers, although there are a lot of high rise condos going up that will help. The whole thing looks the best at night, awful during the day. Las Vegas is good for many things but skyline is definitely not one of them. 4/10

Hmmm...Las Vegas' population has more than double and is the fastest growing metro in the USA....

Even though it's not tall, and it's a medium sized city...I love the colors!!!


7.5

6/10 The buidings are cool and greatly themed but they're not high enough. The Stratosphere Tower is very cool (and high), though !!

Ah no i don't like Las Vegas it's skyline..All boxes and some towers are copied..
4.0/10

,,,..a neat mini skyline...6/10

Amazing night shoots 7\10

Still I was expecting a higher vote for this
But when you think about it is all just hype and pretty sad
No real tallies
Yet but at night gosh it glows and that part of the sky line so gets my vote

7/10

little attractive buildings, seem of toy and artificial, it takes 6.5
by the height of some of them

I don't like those buildings

Some of them are too boxy !!

But considering the size of the city, I think the skyline is great !!

8/10

5/10

I don't think they're skylines, they're more like artworks.

8.5/10

the New York skyline is cool:cheers: and ofcourse the eiffeltower:)

6/10

Small skyline and ugly buildings...5/10

I shall not vote. All I can say is negative so I shall refrain... Interested in their new monorail though. Any pictures of it?

Those picture do it NO justice. Sure it's not great compared to some, but if you see some better pictures you'll think it's a little better. And I agree, at night it looks neat. And I don't think it was designed to be a skyline anyway, it's a bunch of hotels and casinos!

3.5 out of 10

Las Vegas looks damn ugly at daytime but stunning at night.

Las Vegas looks damn ugly at daytime but stunning at night.
Agreed. I give it 4/10 for the daytime and 8/10 for nighttime.

density is not so high.... 5/10.

Yuck-O Matic...3

7/10

4/10. Been to Vegas quite a few times. Skyline and the town kinda depressed me in the daytime, so when I'm there, I just do like most other visitors and sleep through the day.

I like the buildings themselves but not the skyline 6/10

Skyline sucks, but Las Vegas is one of the greatest cities in the world...

I'm not impressed with this skyline. The Panorama Tower is great though. Too bad that this is such a 'fake' city, but that's also special about it. I would love to see it in real.

Not much in the way of tall buildings, especially for a city of 1.5 million. 5.5/10.

Okay for now, but will get better soon. I give it a 6.5/10.

^Agreed, especially after the Summit(73 floors, 945 ft.) is
built. I think that edition alone will boost the skyline tremendously.
Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the U.S. and probably
the world, so there is no need for towering office blocks all over
the place. It moves to the beat of it's own drum regardless of
what other cities may think, which is why it's also one of the fast-
est growing metro. areas around. And if a city is considered 'fake',
what does that say about the people that live/are moving there..
....? Nevermind, don't answer that. Anyway I give it a 7/10 for
mimic architecture.

9/10

Best of its kind. Las Vegas a fake city? Duh! Of course, and that's the point! Las Vegas exists only to entertain, and real life is boring, which is why Las Vegas has divorced itself from real life. You can't entertain if you're boring. 10.

I like it alot.....
10/10 :)

Thanx for the lesson, haunted!Don't know why
I didn't see this myself.

I like Las Vegas but not its skyline.
Individual bldg. looks great though.

10/10 for impressive skyline at night. :banana:

:sleepy: at you people.

"Its fake" "its boxy""what a horrible town"


Lemme tell you. horrible towns do not win the award for most visited city in the world.

Not a real city? What dont we have that keeps up from being a real city? We have industry, government, beautiful homes, many commercial districts, and most of all, ENTERTAINMENT. We just hit our centennial two months ago, yet we are still many steps ahead of major citys three or four times our age.

http://hummoff.org/TrailPhotos-F/Exploring03-01/strip.jpg

Oh what are those big ugly dirt blobs? CONSTRUCTION sites! We are the fastest growing metropolis in the world! (four year old pic BTW) Every city needs to grow, ya know...

Tacky, fake hotels? Yeah, you know what? Fuck fake. Lets take a look into reality...

http://www.unichemcoatings.com/grafx/kretchmr.jpg

People come here to escape the trials and tribulations of reality. And i'm totally for detroit, but what the hell, its lost 53'000 people with 5 years, whereas the Valley gains 5000 per month. Las Vegas is home to the most bustling economy in the world, and it goes much farther than gambling. You got electrictians from Baltimore coming by the boatload, 2500+ to work. People come where the work is.

And the neighborhoods in my hometown... who the fuck wants to live in an area such as Delray, Detroit?(http://www.detroitcity.8k.com/delray%20zug%20island%2004.JPG) Some of that shit gotta compare to the Southside Bronx in terms of blight. You won find very much blight in Vegas. Crime, yes. Blight? Hell Naw; Even the ghettos here get Paved roads and completely remodeled every other year.

Oh yes, we got development also...

i dont get the hate...

Mediocre.

4/10.

9/10- not much of a skyline, but hey, it's vegas :)

It's not a look of it's own. It's kind of like a greatest hits collection. Edited version.

8/10

tyhe ugliest city I have ever seen in my life. Zero character, its a hell hole for people with gambling addictions. Its just a garbage city.

5/10

A unique and crazy city which such a peculiar history, I think it's a must see even if you're not addicted to gambling.
7.5/10

7/10

could be better

Las Vegas is a gambling playground, not a city. 3/10

7/10.

Hmmm...Las Vegas' population has more than double and is the fastest growing metro in the USA....

Yeah...all the sell-outs have to live somewhere.

you mean people looking for work?^

10/10

las vegas is a unique city, whether the subject is the united states or even the world.

i fail to see how las vegas is a fake city. tourism and gambling are the big industries in las vegas, so of course hotels and casinos are going to dominate the skyline. other cities include hotels when discussing their skylines, so why should las vegas be an exception? or is a skyline only commercial headquarters? las vegas is different from new york city, chicago, houston, charlotte, or any other city in the u.s. las vegas is not going to have office towers everywhere if it's not the city that caters to corporations.

each city's skyline is shaped by the dominant industries, whether it be banking, finance, aerospace, insurance, etc. this is also true for las vegas; their industries are gambling and tourism, and the skyline reflects the city's dominance in these industries.

as for anyone who says the skyline lacks height, las vegas has the tallest building west of the mississippi river. there are 4 other structures that are over 500 feet as well.

yeah what do u ppl mean when u say its not a real city? just because its main industry is gambling/ tourism? its a major US city, over a million ppl live in the area, ppl work there, gambling is a major business, so what makes it not a city?. define city, and name one thing that makes vegas not a real city... i was gonna vote 6/10 but now i vote 8/ 10 because some ppl dont knw what they are talking about (the skyline isnt that great but i think its alright im really just trying to settle the problem of ppl calling vegas NOt a city)

6/10

las vegas is fantastic!!! you'll really enjoy yourself spending money..

8/10

Zesty skyline. The Ivana Trump will set shit off real proper-like when
completed. For now, I give it an 8/10, but will be raised once the topping
-off of the aforementioned.

Vegas is the SeXc'est city in the world its hot and i love it, the skyline is amazing IMO

-10

5/10, but it's growing. Everything in Las Vegas is new, it's amazing.

A street lined with hotels, not much skyline wise. 4.

7.5/10 Nice!

7/10

8/10 Looks great @ night time.

Will be better when all the new condo towers are finished. The hotels are too wide (gotta cram as many rooms in as possible) which makes them appear smaller than they are. The new condo towers are more thin.

9/10.
Vegas is one of the 6 cities I have to see before I die... The others are: Shanghai, New York, Tokyo, Dubai, Singapore.

6/10...

9/10 because is la ciudad del pecado hahaha

Those attractive hotels that make Vegas' skyline lack the height but they got character especially New York New York which gives the city's skyline an NY twist! But the Stratosphere can make up for Vegas and gives definition for the skyline!

8/10 for Las Vegas :D

The skyline should get better with the number of projects coming up

The view is nice from the Airport.
6/10

The view is nice from the Airport.

10/10!! LV is an amazing city! though not a real city, more of a playground..

i just dont get how there is snow in the mounts and its in the desert at 100+ degrees. :)

9/10
Shafick nice photos :okay:

7/10

One wouldn't say so, but the hotels are pretty tall - unfortunately also very wide... Buildings are very over the top. 7/10 because this skyline is one of a kind.

I love how people who've never been to Vegas say it's nothing but a casino city or that it isn't a 'real city'

try visiting it and seeing it for yourself in person

it's one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world and there is far more to it than just gambling

i have had a great time whenever ive been and i can't wait to go back
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e199/ujustwait84/Picture132.jpg

It is such an experence to walk along the strip

In all fairness Las Vegas is one of the most fun cities in the world. It is an example of why huge skylines tell half the story, or 1/4 the story about the heart of a city. I for one dont think we should judge a city by its skyline. Some of the comments about Las Vegas seem a bit personal and cruel.

Most seem jealous of Las Vegas and are making comments about the city and not the skyline. Being fair I give Las Vegas a 6.5 but, look out in 7-15 years Las Vegas will be one of the largest cities in the U.S if the growth its having continues. We all are adults so we all know Las Vegas was mostly a tourist town.

Its just starting to go after other growth and once it fully goes into finanial and tourist growth combined, the skyscrapers will rival most larger American cities. I visited Las Vegas and let me tell you, there are cities with bigger skylines in the U.S but, there nowhere as fun as Las Vegas.

Lets be fair an adult when judging each others cities. Theres no need for rude and cruel statements!


GOD IS GOOD!

i just dont get how there is snow in the mounts and its in the desert at 100+ degrees. :)

Are you serious?

Impressive skyline.10/10

In a way, it's not a city because the strip is not even in the city limits.

The Stratosphere Tower is the tallest structure west of the Mississippi River.

Of the 20 largest hotels in the world (all in the U.S.), 17 are in Las Vegas, including the 8 biggest. More hotel rooms than any other city on planet Earth, with a 98% occupancy rate all year long. Completely sold out on busy days and there is demand for much, much more.

As land becomes more and more expensive on the strip, they will have to build upward on smaller footprints, which is what the new condo developments are doing. Before the Turnberry project, there was only one tall condo tower in the entire valley. The highrise condo market is just now starting and is set to explode.

One city you have to visit before you die. I loved it. Tack and way, way beyond!!

Viva Las Vegas.

Las vegas is strange.Even know is not really a skyline,just a street and a small downtown never talked about,its better than kansas city,kansas where people were giving it 8/10 with only a couple of midrise buildings,ill give it a 2 for the stratosphere.(I never knew the desert is so close!)

Wow, I couldn't agree more with this statement!! Las Vegas is the shit, plus it has the tallest structure in western North America!! :)

Las Vegas doesn't have a really WOW skyline, but the city itself is beyond words...what happens there stays there supposedly :D

no skyline

no pretty buildings

no nice place

... to cut a long story short...of Las Vegas only I like the CSI chapters

4/10

it needs a real downtown.There is alot of money in vegas i cant figure out why there is no real downtown.no downtown but its a unique city so i gave it a 4

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/mdiederi/Misc/skyline.jpg[/QUOTE]

OMG this is the ugliest skyline ever in daytime but by night this place looks amazing interms of skyline.

Ahh Vegas, my home town. More beautiful at night as said before. Love the pic with the mountains in the background. So much natural beauty around Vegas that nobody cares to see when they visit, still the skyline isn't the best but I give it a 7/10. There's not much height there but since the city's economy is based on entertainment and tourism you can't expect that much.

I think the skyline is growing alot, but so far it gets a 5/10.

Nice mountains!

"It's my kind of town!"

Las Vegas is an awesome city, on of my favorites but the skyline is weak.

Only a fake NYNY and giant needle in the middle of nowhere. At night, photos down the strip look pretty good and there seems to be a feeling of a skyline but during the day it just looks like a huge Epcot Center. 7.5/10.

Wish there would be a nice commercial downtown made up of skyscrapers not casinos but LV is still a smallish city.

its too fake to be called a city

Not much of a skyline, the appeal of Las Vegas is obviously more at street level.

A lil too artificial to me. Unlike other major cities around the world, Las Vegas is lack of culture. History enriches the place and people with the sense of self. I still give it an 8, and it's not a lucky number that everyone should bet on. Be yourself and use your own number. Go go Red!

I really dont know what to think of this skyline. Its not very dense. 5.0

I vote 3,5/10. This is the most awful and kitchy city in the world! I don't know how people can live in something like this?! :down:

Interested in their new monorail though. Any pictures of it?

I like the way it looks at night.

Nice...i love vegas.

Nice...i love vegas.It's amazing the way that it is growing that city.Incredible.9/10

Strip: 7/10 - mostly because of the Stratosphere tower and the great night displays

American cities are snow of yesterday

your a tool. and you are one of the creeps that votes less than 5 because you suck. :bash:

And you are one of the creeps that votes higher than 4 :/ Matbe it's nice city for lots of americans and for people without taste. For me this "large village" is awful! It's a kitchy mix of all architectural styles in the world and it's horrible! :runaway:
Luckily there is no city like LV in Poland.

LV is a very cool town! Fun! not bad skyline.

Not a impressive skyline. But the city is impressive in different ways i think
5/10

7/10

8.5/10

I give an 8/10

Yuke, it's a not worthy of the word city.

very booming 9/20

i mean 9/10 lol

8/10

I just came back from Vegas. I think it's amazing...all what's best and worse in the US on the strip. Wynn hotel is wonderful even its design and Vegas tends to be more and more luxurious, which is a good point knowing the reputation...

I give it 6/10

Gave it an 8.5

It's tacky. It's plastic. But it's Vegas! That's what it's all about. They took the best the world has to offer and made it their own. Some of the buildings are absolute rip-offs of the originals, but others are neat interpretations (Luxor comes to mind). It's the kind of skyline a child would design and because of that, I find it daring, original, and humourous. Plus I love the Stratosphere, as observation towers go, this is the best one I've seen.

7/10

Vegas very funny.

why only 2.0???
lame city??? oh..no...
show evidences why las vegas get only 2.0?

8/10 Great city!

only 5/10

looks like epcot center, 5.5/10

Id give it a 7, just bc it realy does have many different shaped buildings
but for all the skyscraper people out there this city will get low scores

7.5, not much of a skyline in the traditional sense, but definitely one of the most unique cities in the world, and a wonderful cityscape helps push it up, plus the skyline is not too shabby at night.

Wow, from those shots^^ a 9/10. I love Las Vegas!

Las Vegas is fantastic.. 10/10

10/10

las vegas is a unique city, whether the subject is the united states or even the world.

i fail to see how las vegas is a fake city. tourism and gambling are the big industries in las vegas, so of course hotels and casinos are going to dominate the skyline. other cities include hotels when discussing their skylines, so why should las vegas be an exception? or is a skyline only commercial headquarters? las vegas is different from new york city, chicago, houston, charlotte, or any other city in the u.s. las vegas is not going to have office towers everywhere if it's not the city that caters to corporations.

each city's skyline is shaped by the dominant industries, whether it be banking, finance, aerospace, insurance, etc. this is also true for las vegas; their industries are gambling and tourism, and the skyline reflects the city's dominance in these industries.

as for anyone who says the skyline lacks height, las vegas has the tallest building west of the mississippi river. there are 4 other structures that are over 500 feet as well.
Exactly

Is that even a skyline?!?!? A bunch of tacky casinos and hotels on one street!?!?
Great city but c'mon that a joke.

8/10 ...a bit artificial...bit okay

Great city. Had a good time back in 2003. 6/10

10/10 Las Vegas definitely has a unique skyline. With all the new projects that are planned and currently under construction, it will only get better!!! ...not only on the Strip, but also in downtown.

It's a 5.5 with the Wynn and Stratosphere Tower...It would be a 3.5 without.

Lovely city, one of my favourite

7/10 great city... bad skyline but getting there now!

Dang it lol I voted before I saw the last page I change my vote to an 8 now lol

How can you people not vote 10 for a city that produces these kind of sunsets???

I found this in the LV Review Journal...

Scroll –––––––>

It looked more interesting before this sudden boom of new hotels

Amazing picture!!

I'd say 7,5 too hot/warm for me. Nice skyline. It's just a different city to the rest of all in US.

I guess for architects means paradise.

OMG this is the ugliest skyline ever in daytime but by night this place looks amazing interms of skyline.[/QUOTE]

10/10 for the city. 8/10 for the skyline it definatly looks better in person.

no skyline

no pretty buildings

no nice place

... to cut a long story short...of Las Vegas only I like the CSI chapters

4/10

Hahaha, it is improving and will get better, even the locals are tired of the themed hotels/casinos. Vegas is known as the entertainment capital of the world and not a financial center so you wont be seeing multi-nationals setting their regional hub in Vegas as you would in Los Angeles or New York with their all glass skyscrapers.

City center is having a big impact on the skyline of LV. Las Vegas is one of my favorite places in the world!

Steve

9/10

last pictures wow :uh:

Only if it could have a certain CBD with a skyline to go with it.

I am amazed at how fast the city growths and the only city i know for its casinos.

Vegas is not really known for its skyline but rather the entertainment value of the city for travellers. From world class production shows, to world class artists from all over the world, add the shopping, nitelife, dining and it is truly a destination. The beautiful desert sceneries are a plus if people wanted to check out nature. As far as the building structures, they are improving and changing. With the current City Center project, it is definitely more interesting at street level. The area is massive and with more retail, dining, nitelife, world class public art, the future of the Vegas Strip is definitely looking better.:)

I would call it "Dubai of the desert" if Dubai wouldn't be located in a desert itself :D

10/10! lovely las vegas! :cheers:

Las Vegas has two skylines. It has the downtown north of the stratosphere and the strip to the south with it's own buildings.

I wonder if Las Vegas will ever be 'finished'

the most rising city in America ..

4/10, but its getting better

I stayed at the Stratosphere hotel back in Nov 2006 and totaly loved the place. I am amazed how much the skyline has changed since i was there "Looking great". 8/10

Don't know if I already posted it:

this is las vegas ???

its name not as familiar in the movie....
4.5

The brightest city at night from space!but this is about skylines-6/10!

I like Las Vegas, but as far as I know, the sphinx doesn't qualify as a skyscraper...:)

5/10

Very weak skyline for the so-called "Entertainment Capital Of The World".

Just went last week to see my brother get married. Coming into the city from Henderson, the skyline actually looks nice and long, and the hotel/casinos were much taller than I was expecting. I was also surprised by how scenic the surrounding was. Beautiful place with spectacular skyline lighting and unique buildings.

New York hotel is the coolest

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3382/3558338108_97df42bbfa_b_d.jpg

last pics represent the city very good, 8.5/10

I think its okay, but i think if the towers were more near each other with more variation of heights with these towers then it be a different story.

so for now i will give you a 5/10

8/10

skyline very original !

7.5/10 - Awesome city.

8/10. The skyline is great and original especially at night. It's sad SSC seems to attack cities with personality while at the same time glorifying Chinese lookalike cities with perfect 10's. Call me weird but i'd rather have a city of glitz and uniqueness than a city full of Brutalist highrises covered in smog during the day. But that's just my opinion. :)
