Look for the “Download Flipbook” button.<\/p>\nNaming things is hard.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThere’s also lots of incredibly detailed and impressive video. The biggest takeaway from the video is Gindi Capital has really deep pockets and we have probably tanked our chances of working there because of the whole talking shit about them, oh, well.<\/p>\nWeed breast pumps for the win!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOne of our favorite parts of the video is where the mall materializes out of what appears to be a possibly-toxic cloud of smoke.<\/p>\nGreen smoke grenades are sometimes used to signal medevac helicopters. Sorry to make it awkward.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThere are some undeniably cool features, or possibly amenities, planned for BLVD. For example, there’s a seating area overlooking another high-end shopping center very few people visit right across the street.<\/p>\nAttention jumpers: You’re only going to sprain an ankle, move along.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWe kid, Gindi Capital!

Some longtime blight on the Las Vegas Strip has been demolished and a shiny new “high-profile, high-impact, all-day destination” is in the works.
