Turnberry Towers is a 45-story twin tower condominium complex in Winchester , Nevada , near the Las Vegas Strip . Initially , plans were announced in 1998 for Great Masters , a $ 300 million condominium project consisting of 56-story twin towers . The land was sold in 2000 to Turnberry Associates , which announced plans to build Madison Towers on the property . The $ 250 million condominium project would include 25-story twin towers , but the start of construction was delayed due to poor economic conditions as a result of the September 11 attacks . Conditions improved and the project was redesigned to be larger , with the new name of Turnberry Towers . Construction of the first tower began in June 2005 , and was finished in 2007 , followed by the completion of the second tower a year later . In November 1998 , high-rise developer Bruce Stark and his Hawaii-based company , Stark Properties , announced plans to build Great Masters , a 56-story twin-tower condominium project with 592 units . The project would cost $ 300 million , with an estimated sales value of $ 500 million . The project would be built on situated at Paradise Road and Karen Avenue , behind the Sahara hotel-casino that was located on the Las Vegas Strip . Construction was expected to begin in August 1999 . Stark was not concerned about competition from Park Towers or the nearby Turnberry Place . Great Masters and Turnberry Place were among the largest condominium projects proposed for the Las Vegas Valley at that time , and Great Masters would be the tallest entirely residential building in the United States , standing at 724 feet
