Las Vegas Tower is a proposed supertall skyscraper to be built in Las Vegas, Nevada in the United States. If built, the tower would stand at 1,888 ft, or 575 meters, making it among the tallest in the world. The Las Vegas Tower would likely become the second tallest building in the United States after the 2000 ft Chicago Spire, surpassing even the 1776 ft Freedom Tower in New York City. The tower would also surpass the CN Tower, which is currently the world's tallest freestanding structure on land, and the Stratosphere Tower, which is currently the tallest structure in Nevada. The Las Vegas Tower would have 134 stories and be the tallest all-hotel structure in the world. The skyscraper would also host a casino and an observation deck. The tower would be built on Las Vegas Boulevard on the former site of the Wet n' Wild Water Park. The building's architect is the renowned architectural firm Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill.
