Captivating
" OK, 11 days I hear you say for a build. Mmmmm would have been done in 24hrs maybe solid but we rationed it as it was so amazing we wanted to make it last so we tackled 1 set of numbered bags a day and there were 11 sets in total. It was hard not rushing ahead but drawing it out added to the build.
It was an interesting build. By the nature of the model it was quite repetitive however LEGO managed to break up what could have been monotony with mixing in mini builds so you weren’t concentrating on say just the track for hours on end.
PROs - well look at it, words really aren’t needed. This is possibly one of my most impressive sets and I have a fair few. There is nothing not to like. I bought the motor functions and they are really worth it as an add on, you can literally sit looking at it for hours, it’s quite captivating. If you have the money or are considering spending this kind of money on a set this should definitely be in the running. It is big but worth the space.
CONs - maybe make it easier to detach in two half’s for transportation but I get this would possibly compromise stability. A little more detail, for example the gum under the seat on the bus is amazing, something only the builder knows is there, a little Easter egg almost. However this is my major gripe. Get the pieces right! Seriously LEGO I spent just shy of £300 on a model with you, I expect it to be right however instead of getting 2 1x6 flat pieces I get 1 2x6 flat piece. Luckily I had some in white I bleached up and used but really, every set I buy seems to have issues with the bricks, I shouldn’t be experiencing problems of that nature.
Overall great product though, think it should be sold as a power function set and the motors included as standard with the option to add them into the build as it totally makes the set.

Great location but disappointed
" I was soooooo excited to see LEGO add this to their Architecture range. However.... sadly the original model which was designed to include the Mandalay Bay wasn’t released and it was redesigned to include The Bellingo (fantastic substitute), my gripe however, and it really is, is I’m a Vegas fan, I love it, I love everything about it, apart from this LEGO model assosciated with it. Why? Well it’s quite simple but it’ll only really impact Vegas fans. The model depicts the strip. Sadly when they put in the Bellagio they didn’t redesign the order of the buildings so now my OCD isn’t happy as it doesn’t depict Vegas properly. I’m finding over time LEGO is giving less and less attention to detail and this is sadly another example.
