Here comes City Center!!

It has taken almsot 5 years to complete and nearly $10B, but we are on the eve of City Center's grand opening. From my balcony, I have watched the largest privately funded project in US history be constructed and all I can say is, "I have seen the future". City Center is ulike anything I have ever seen before. It looks like something out of a movie based upon the future. As MGM/Mirages new crown jewel, City Center has been opening in phases over the last few weeks. Comprised of 5 seperate properties, City Center's Vdara opened first, followed by the Mandarin Oriental and Crystals (Retail Shopping Plaza). The last property to open is the Harmon Hotel, which opens its doors in the spring '10. But, this week opening is for Aria Casino Resort and the Veer Towers, the condo residential part of the development. Aria is to set the new standard of mega-casino's around the world. With over 4000 rooms, lavish resturants, nightclubs/lounges, spa and casino, Aria is the new kid on the block. Aria will also host the all new Cirque du Soleil Viva Elvis show in the Elvis Theatre. Will this mega-resort turn around Las Vegas, I think so.
