Very heavy lift vehicle prospects?

Are there any serious proposals in work now for a very-heavy-lift (Saturn
class) booster? Potential uses might include the space-based laser, getting
future nuclear-powered missions off Earth, tourist hotels built as one units,
etc. Is there enough of a market that anyone is seriously pursuing this?

Thanks,
