LAS VEGAS, Tuesday, July 12th, 2005, is destined to be a monumental day in the history of Las Vegas, as partners Donald J. Trump and Phil G. Ruffin personally lead a ceremonious groundbreaking at the site of The Trump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas.

Designed to be the most opulent condominium hotel ever built in Las Vegas – if not the entire world – The Trump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas is a joint venture between Mr. Trump and his longtime friend Mr. Ruffin, who is the owner of the New Frontier Hotel. The 2-million-square-foot tower is being built on a portion of the New Frontier property, directly adjacent to the Fashion Show Mall and across from the Wynn Las Vegas resort and golf course.

The Trump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas will feature 1,282 luxuriously furnished and decorated condominium hotel units, including 880 studio and 352 one-bedroom suites on the 16th through 59th floors, and 50 deluxe one-, two- and three-bedroom "Penthouse Suites" on the upper five floors. Representatives of Trump Las Vegas Sales & Marketing, Inc. report that 100 percent of the condominium units in the tower had already been reserved. Prices during the final phase ranged from the $600,000s to $6 million.

"The Trump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas drew an immediate and phenomenal response among buyers from around the globe," Trump said recently from New York. "People familiar with the quality of Trump properties wanted to be among the first to reserve their place in our latest achievement, right in the heart of one of the world's most glamorous and exciting cities. From the center Strip location, to the luxurious condominium hotel units and spectacular views, this is going to be a true showpiece – beyond anything ever created in Las Vegas. When completed, we envision it as being the crown jewel of the Las Vegas Strip."

Ruffin added, "Donald is a great builder and innovative thinker. His insistence on using only the highest quality materials is impressive. Remember, the difference between a good project and a great project is paying the extra 30 percent to get the best materials, as we have done here."

True to Trump form, The Trump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas will be resplendent in every possible fashion. From the exterior, which will be clad in 24-carat gold glass, to the elegant lobby areas and luxuriously furnished and decorated condominium hotel units, every aspect of the building will reflect the superior level of quality that is synonymous with the name, "Trump."
