The Cosmopolitan Resort and Casino project was originally budgeted at $2 billion dollars (KHS&S Scope approximately $75,300,000) when KHS&S started on the project. In the second quarter of 2008, the project went into foreclosure. The project was close to 40% framed, 25% drywalled, and nearly all of the GFRG was fabricated.

In November of 2008, KHS&S was issued the first re-design drawings with a one-week deadline to have our rough order of magnitude turned in for the entire phase 1 package which included the traditional and theming scope.

The redesign of the Cosmopolitan did, however, create an opportunity for KHS&S to nearly double the contract value to approximately $146,000,000 and even with the construction delays and design changes KHS&S was still able to deliver the project on time and within budget.
