How VegasTodayAndTomorrow.com came to be


Back in 2003, when I learned that Steve Wynn was building Wynn Las Vegas, I started looking for more info, because I'm an architecture enthusiast with an interest in Vegas.  Well, the tight-lipped Wynn didn't let much info out about his new resort.  I did find an aerial photo website that posted weekly photo updates of the construction and a few other photo sites where users posted photos of their Vegas vacations.  I kept searching and found some architecture sites which showed other Vegas projects but nothing on Wynn.

Then it happened; projects were being announced left and right.  New resorts, condos and other developments started popping up weekly, which gave me many more things to research.  As I researched these projects, I kept stumbling on more and more, and began to wonder why nobody had started a website devoted to this phenomena.  I then decided to be that somebody.

Ease of navigation, accuracy, and conciseness were paramount in the overall design of the site, as there was to be much content.  I gathered my info from: countless websites, forums, city and county planning agendas, developers, architects, title companies, public relations (at the resorts), fans, and more.

There are more than enough travel-based Vegas sites - talking about rooms, food, clubs, and entertainment.  My website was to be about the future, development, urbanization, and architecture (with a little fun and history thrown in).

Everything was falling into place, except that I had no good maps.  I needed some awesome maps and there were none to be found.  So, I spent countless hours (probably 400+) creating
THE Maps.

At first, this was a hobby, then I began getting offers from Realtors and developers for the use of the maps.  The maps are actually quite big 2.5'x 5' and 200 dpi (that's about a 1-gig file) and in their full resolution, print out beautifully for hanging in sales offices and crop nicely for PowerPoint presentations.  My maps can now be seen in the sales offices of Marriott's Grand Chateau, Allure, Panorama Towers, Verge, juhl, Streamline Tower, and on several Realtor websites.

It's been fun, I've met a lot of folks along the way, and the business is growing nicely. Many thanks to those of you who have contributed info and photos and to those of you who have sent
donations.
