Trump cuts ribbon on Vegas condo hotel

Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Donald Trump says he'll wait to build a second high-rise to augment his new gold-plated Trump International Hotel & Tower on the Las Vegas Strip.

At a ribbon-cutting this morning, Trump said he wants to close sales on all the condo and hotel units in his first 64-story building before breaking ground on another.

Trump executives, civic officials and Miss Universe Riyo Mori joined The Donald for the ceremony at the 645-foot tower next to the Fashion Show Mall. It was held Friday because Trump was in town now for his Miss USA pageant.

The tower opened March 31, at a cost of $1.2 billion. It has 1,200 luxury suites, and distinctive gold windows.

It doesn't have a casino, but it features a signature restaurant called DJT, a heated outdoor pool and 2,400 square feet of meeting space.
