YouTuber Bubbaflubba is continuing to make progress on a Minecraft version of the Las Vegas Strip, a project they began over eight years ago. Screen Rant first reported on Bubbaflubba's Las Vegas build in 2021, and the creator's work has been ongoing, with updates made occasionally between their work on other projects.

Bubbaflubba took to Reddit to share an updated aerial photo of the Las Vegas build, providing a glimpse of The Cosmopolitan Hotel, Allegiant Stadium, and the Fountains of Bellagio, along with other iconic fixtures of the Vegas skyline. Minecraft fans were amazed at the level of dedication and attention to detail poured into the project, with a few Reddit s asking if Bubbaflubba plans to put the project on a visitable server, which the creator didn't provide an answer to. Bubbaflubba has not shared when they expect to be done with the project or whether they'll tackle resort interiors before completion.

Las Vegas Isn't The Only City The YouTuber Is Building

Ambitious Minecraft builds have been a staple in the game since its inception, and large-scale projects are part of Bubbaflubba's brand. In cooperation with his city build team, which consists of 16 other Minecraft enthusiasts who assist with the Vegas build, Bubbaflubba has created a massive fictional city called San Almendro, which includes a port, subway, and a detailed highway system. The team has also tackled a replica of Disneyland complete with rides and interiors, suggesting indoor builds may be planned for the Las Vegas build after all.

Bubbaflubba has worked independently on a ton of projects as well, with Hogwarts and Caesars Superdome in New Orleans being two of the most recent. The player's other creations include the Florence Cathedral, Sydney Opera House, the Taj Mahal, and the Louvre, all of which are shared on Bubbaflubba's YouTube channel to over 80 thousand subscribers.

Our Take: Minecraft's Longevity Is Thanks To Fan Innovation

The Game Hasn't Waned In Popularity Since Its 2009 Release

There aren't really any limits to what players can do in Minecraft, which is a huge driver of the game's appeal. The franchise has only grown in popularity over the years, recently capitalized on by Minecraft mods and updates are constantly added to servers by developer Mojang Studios as well as enthusiastic fans, so much so that the game is considered to be "never finished" by developer Mojang Studios.

Minecraft was founded on the basis of infinite possibilities, and fan engagement has kept the game alive for over a decade. The rise of livestreaming on platforms like Twitch and cooperative servers on the game itself has only attracted more players, who are eager to explore the work of others while crafting their own projects. Minecraft will remain a staple of the gaming world, and it's all thanks to the innovation of fans like Bubbaflubba, who are willing to take their creativity to new heights.
