Stalled resort construction and a future demolition project cluster along Las Vegas Boulevard generally between Desert Inn and Sahara. Construction on the Fountainbleau (tall blue building) ceased in 2009, while Boyd Gaming's Echelon Project stopped construction on former Stardust site back in 2008. That project was revived as the Resorts World Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Visitors and Convention Authority has scheduled the demolition of the Riviera Hotel and Casino for in summer 2016 to make way for a convention center expansion.

Local news segment reporting on Charles Ruthe's (Boyd Group President) comments around the monorail project, and how it should go down Las Vegas Boulevard and his refusal to align with either company's proposal. Clips from an interview with Ruthe where he favors the Strip route, but doesn't want to get involved with details about funding and planning. Don Williams (HSST Nevada Spokesman) hopes that Ruthe's support will help others get on board with the project. Original media VHS, color, aspect ratio 4 x 3, frame size 720 x 486.
