All Net Resort and Arena is at it again.<\/p>\n

The doomed project, with zero prospects for ever actually happening, dropped some new renderings and media outlets unquestioningly ate them up, as is their way.<\/p>\n

\"All
Renderings are magical in that magic also involves smoke and mirrors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The fact is, hope for financing this project faded long ago, and there’s no real indication that’s going to change despite the bafflingly enthusiastic news coverage.<\/p>\n

While we appreciate the ongoing optimism of former UNLV and NBA basketball player Jackie Robinson, his whimsy has now drifted into the realm of delusion, and breathless reporting of project financing being “lined up” is an exotic blend of naivete, gullibility or good, old-fashioned “we need words to fill up air time and column inches, so run it.”<\/p>\n

Fun fact: All Net Resort originally broke ground in 2014. And, yes, we’re using “fun” very loosely here.<\/p>\n

The All Net site sits just north of the abandoned Fontainebleau, soon to be called JW Marriott Las Vegas Blvd.<\/a>, because, you know, it actually appears to have financing.<\/p>\n

Here’s some 2017 video we took when All Net put on a little show<\/a>, staging a collection of dirt-hauling trucks to give potential investors the illusion things were actually happening on the site. It looks the same today, just without the trucks.<\/p>\n
