View from another angle shows what appear to be the same tower/s - in a vacant lot across the street from the concert venue. Any idea what those towers are?

Left-over stacks from a cement batch plant -- maybe?
There's an airport nearby, and all those hotels used a lot of concrete -- millions of cubic feet.
On Google Maps some joker labeled the stacks, or quite close nearby to those; Shooter's Perch.
Sounds fishy...I wonder when that name became attached, and who did that. Some comedian at Google saying "watch this! They want conspiracy theories? let's give them a piece of one --right here-- " ???
Using the address obtained from Google Maps, and search made entering the address led to a web page that focused on old motels in the area; Las Vegas Motels - Then and Now
Down-page a ways is:
More searching led to real estate listings, this one (below) having a recent photo;
https://www.officespace.com/las-vegas-nv/building/717349-3941-south-las-vegas-boulevard ..."This property isn't on the market right now." ...the page indicates.
BUT there is an image of the property in the lower right corner.
Click the "+" sign one time, and the photo enlarges enough to see side view of one of what I'd guessed (after further examination of the Google Maps image, after I'd posted a wild guess, but went back to examine the image further) may have been deadman anchoring points for some tower structure that apparently had been under construction.

Looks like a power generation or cogeneration plant. “Smoke stacks” are designed to remove exhaust gas safely so as not to dump the exhaust onto adjacent working/living environments, but to allow the gases to mix into the air above and continue to dilute into the environment.
They started work on a giant observation wheel at that site some years back, like the one they eventually built further north at the Linq, but the project became a casualty of the Obama economy and was abandoned. The two support towers remain as silent witnesses to his perfidy. :)
