CityCenter Las Vegas takes up almost an entire city block along Las Vegas Boulevard South between Harmon and Tropicana avenues. Created as a joint venture of MGM Mirage and Dubai World, it is a city within a city, with its own high-rise residences, shopping, entertainment, park areas, and an internal tram. The $8.5-billion complex occupies 67 acres of prime real estate, with structures rising to heights of 500~600 feet - a showcase of art, architecture, landscaping, and technology.
One of the centerpiece hotels here is Aria, with its 3,436 guestrooms, 598 suites, 16 restaurants, 10 bars/lounges, a luxury spa, a high-tech casino, and 30,000 square feet of function space. It is joined by the 1,495 suites of Vdara Hotel & Spa, the 640 condo units at Veer Towers, and the 360 opulent rooms of the Mandarin Oriental, opened in December 2009. Soon to debut is one more accommodating CityCenter building - the 400-room Harmon Hotel.
Lodgings here are complemented by the 500,000 square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment space offered by Crystals. The shopping complex features a wide variety of prestigious brands, including one of the world's largest Louis Vuitton stores, as well as flagship shops for Prada, Tiffany & Co., Gucci, Ermenegildo Zegna, and Roberto Cavalli, to name a few.
