The 815-foot (248 m) tower is part of a proposal to construct a hub for the world's jewelry industry, across from World Market Center Las Vegas.

As of 2012, the skyline of Las Vegas is ranked 66th in the world and 18th in the United States with 176 completed high-rises.

The first high-rise hotel and casino resort to rise higher than 492 feet (150 m) was the 529-foot (161 m) New York-New York Hotel & Casino, completed in 1997. īeginning in the 1960s, high-rise hotels began to become more concentrated on the Las Vegas Strip. The tallest completed building in the city is the 59-story Resorts World, which rises 673 feet (205 m) and was completed in 2021. This building, however, remained unfinished for several years due to the late-2000s recession. The tallest building in Las Vegas is the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, which rises 735 feet (224 m) and was topped out in November 2008. However, the Strat is not considered a building because the vast majority of the tower is not habitable. The tower is also the tallest observation tower in the United States.
