01:24of a casino.
01:26To be constructed on Fashion Show Drive, near Ruffin's New Frontier Hotel and Casino.
01:31Trump had initially approached Ruffin two years earlier about developing a property
01:34on or near the Las Vegas Strip.
01:38Construction on Trump Tower Las Vegas was to begin in six to seven months and was expected
01:41to last approximately 18 months.

01:50to cost $272 million.

01:58with Trump regarding the project.
02:00The project was referenced again in the show's second season finale when winner Kelly Perdue
02:04was offered a job at the property.
02:07Jack Wishna, who introduced Trump to Ruffin, was a minority partner in the project.
02:12In January 2005, the project was valued at $1 billion.

02:42of 800 workers constructed one new floor for the tower approximately every six days.
02:47In May 2022, the tower was topped out on May 25, 2007.
