Local businessman says he can ‘shrink wrap’ Echelon

After reading Sunday’s Inside Gaming column, Garth Harris came up with an idea for what Boyd Gaming Corp. can do with the mothballed Echelon project – shrink wrap the nine-story steel and concrete structure.
Harris owns the Las Vegas franchise of Fast Wrap USA, a national provider of shrink wrap materials. He said the company has shrink wraped residential, commercial and industrial projects.
He said the $4.8 billion Echelon would probably take between 200,000 and 250,000 square feet of material to cover. Harris provided an image (below) of what Echelon might look like after the process.
