George Clooney and Brad Pitt's project in Las Vegas is over

George Clooney and Brad Pitt's Las Vegas, Nevada dream is over - their ambitious Las Ramblas hotel complex is dead.

Ten months after its much-publicised launch and following multiple rumours about its demise, the Las Ramblas sales office has been closed and the 25-acre plot of land the hotels, casinos and play areas were to stand on has been sold to the developers of the neighbouring W Hotel, Casino & Residences for a whopping $202 million (£112.2 million).

The news has been confirmed by Dan Klores Communications, the New York-based publicity firm representing Las Ramblas.

A spokesman says, "We are no longer dealing with that account as I understand the Las Ramblas project is no longer going ahead."

Vegas insiders claim rising construction costs are behind the decision to shut down the Las Ramblas venture - a project backed financially by Clooney and CINDY CRAWFORD's restaurateur husband Rande Gerber, and supported by new dad Pitt.

Pitt and Clooney were signed onto a boutique project rumoured to involve Gerber and Station Casinos on the plot of land currently housing the Wild, Wild West Casino.

When the project details were unveiled in 2004, they included 4,400 rooms and 11 high-rise towers.

Sin City property watchers now believe Clooney and Gerber will collaborate on a smaller Las Vegas hotel and casino property designed, in part, by architecture fan Pitt.

Thanks goodness, George deserves some better partnership. I am sorry but I cannot stand that cad of a man, called Brad Pitt.

Hey George, if you need a massage or something after this, gimme a ring okay...........

I totally agree with you. Can't stand Brad Pitt--i too think of what a cad he is whenever i read about him. Anyway, I remember reading about this project; it seemed that George was excited about it. I hope he does go forward with it. George totally has a vibe/a way about him, that is reminiscent of the "Rat Pack" era of Vegas, which is really cool...He just seems perfect to do some sort of project in Vegas. Brad, on the other hand, does not seem like the type at all--ANYMORE. (Or, i should say, RIGHT NOW.--The man totally changes with whatever woman he's spending time with at the current time.) I'm sure he's much too busy off in the wilds of Africa with his new family to go forward with his friend George on this project he had agreed to do. I hope George does it anyway.
