A New York City artist has built a replica of the soon-to-open Trump Dubai hotel tower out of thousands of Lego pieces.
Nathan Sawaya's 10-foot version of the distinctive five-star hotel is expected to be unveiled Monday in Columbus Circle. The actual hotel on the island of Palm Jumeirah won't open until next year.
Sawaya is known for his life-size Lego sculptures, such as an 18,000-piece bumblebee that Ashlee Simpson's husband gave her as a wedding gift and a model of a rebuilt New Orleans made of 120,000 of the toy bricks.
The replica Trump Dubai tower was based on architectural drawings of the building. Sawaya's tower will be on view through Tuesday.
