Function
A mixed-use tall building contains two or more functions (or uses), where each of the functions occupy a significant proportion of the tower's total space. Support areas such as car parks and mechanical plant space do not constitute mixed-use functions. Functions are denoted on CTBUH "Tallest Building" lists in descending order, e.g., "hotel/office" indicates hotel function above office function.
residential / hotel
Structural Material
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning systems are constructed from steel. Note that a building of steel construction with a floor system of concrete planks or concrete slab on top of steel beams is still considered a “steel” structure as the concrete elements are not acting as the primary structure.
Reinforced Concrete
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning systems are constructed from concrete which has been cast in place and utilizes steel reinforcement bars.
Precast Concrete
Both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning system are constructed from steel reinforced concrete which has been precast as individual components and assembled together on-site.
Mixed-Structure
Utilizes distinct systems (e.g. steel, concrete, timber), one on top of the other. For example, a steel/concrete indicates a steel structural system located on top of a concrete structural system, with the opposite true of concrete/steel.
Composite
A combination of materials (e.g. steel, concrete, timber) are used together in the main structural elements. Examples include buildings which utilize: steel columns with a floor system of reinforced concrete beams; a steel frame system with a concrete core; concrete-encased steel columns; concrete-filled steel tubes; etc. Where known, the CTBUH database breaks out the materials used in a composite building’s core, columns, and floor spanning separately.

About Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas
The Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas contains a hotel and branded condominium tower on top of a multi-use base with ballroom and retail functions. The project is prominently sited on Las Vegas Boulevard situated within the new CityCenter mixed-use development. This unique context affords the project two distinct opportunities: on a macro level, the building acts as a gateway into Las Vegas; on the micro level, the building conveys a sense of seclusion for hotel guests, creating a city within a city.
The façade is a layered interlocking motif of vertical aluminum panels and high-performance, low-E glass with ceramic horizontal frit. From the interior, the frit provides various levels of transparency, allowing for open, naturally illuminated spaces in public areas and shaded, screened areas where more privacy is desired. To reduce solar heat gain and to conserve energy, heavily insulated spandrel panels are used to increase the percentage of opaque cladding area. The façade system accounts for about 9% of the building’s total energy savings.
