Americas premier motorsports attraction is growing in the Las Vegas Motor Speedway infield. Construction crews have started adding the second floor to LVMS Neon Garage. The second level will allow race fans who have purchased passes to the Neon Garage to look directly down into the garage bays as the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series crewmen tune their cars. The Neon Garage will be positioned in the center of the infield. It will be composed of four buildings constructed in the shape of a diamond in which the NASCAR Nextel Cup teams will prepare their cars to race. The center of the Neon Garage will be open to credentialed race fans. There will be a sports bar with big screens to watch the on-track action, concession stands and continuous entertainment acts that represent Las Vegas best shows.
Recycling as much debris as possible has become part of the process of demolishing structures in this day and age. Some items taken from buildings, such as steel, wood and concrete, are in high demand and command fairly nice prices. Then there are items left behind that the demolition contractor can salvage and sell. Pat Clauss, owner of Clauss Construction in Lakeside, removed a pair of wood and glass doors that once served as the entrance to Steve Wynns art collection at the Desert Inn in Las Vegas. The doors, including frames with inlaid gold, and magnificent beveled glass designs, were installed at his new Lakeside office, along with glass sconces retrieved from the same project. At several sites he has found workable heavy equipment and other machinery easily sold, or re-used by the company.
