Sky Las Vegas is a 45-story luxury high-rise condominium tower with 409 units, situated on a 3-acre site on the Las Vegas Strip in Winchester, Nevada. A two-story retail project had initially been planned for the site in 2001, although it ultimately did not materialize. Plans for Sky Las Vegas were announced in July 2004, with construction beginning the following year and its opening occurring in May 2007.

Opening and operation

Sky Las Vegas
Entrance

Sky Las Vegas opened in May 2007, and was the first high-rise condominium project to open on the Las Vegas Strip. Four three-story residences known as SkySuites – each with four bedrooms and five bathrooms and measuring 5,000 sq ft (460 m2) – occupy the upper three floors, above the penthouses. In July 2007, an unfinished 2,985 sq ft (277.3 m2) penthouse sold for $2.7 million. Some units were rented out because of difficulty selling them, as a result of the poor economy.

A 14,378 sq ft (1,335.8 m2) CVS Pharmacy store that operates inside the building was sold in March 2014, at a cost of $30 million, the most expensive sale price for a CVS store in the Las Vegas Valley. In April 2015, the tower's remaining unsold 65 units were put on the market as part of a bulk sale that also included 26,800 sq ft (2,490 m2) of vacant retail space on the second and third floors. The sale, with a listed price of "best offer," did not include the CVS store. In September 2015, Pathfinder Partners purchased the tower's remaining 64 units. The CVS was listed for sale in January 2016.
