Echelon Place is Boyd Gaming Corporation's replacement for the Stardust Resort & Casino. Echelon Place has an estimated cost of $4 billion with construction beginning in 2007 and the opening in 2010.[1] The $4 billion price tag would make Echelon Place the second-most expensive hospitality industry development ever.[citation needed]
This will be an 87 acre multi-use project with a 140,000 square foot casino, 4 hotels providing 5,300 rooms, 25 restaurants and bars, the 650,000 square foot Las Vegas ExpoCenter, and a convention center with 1 million square feet of space. The Echelon Resort will be a 3,300 room hotel owned and operated by Boyd. The other hotels are expected to be a Shangri-La Hotel, a Delano Hotel, a Mondrian Hotel, and the Echelon Tower.
