M Resort Vice President and General Manager Hussain Mahrous said he expects construction will begin on the site within 60 days and the tower would be completed and ready to open in 18 months. In addition to being connected to the current structure that opened in 2009, the buildings also will be attached underground so that new convention facilities under the resort will be continuous. The new tower will be just southeast of and attached to the existing tower.
