lockmat Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 From Wikepedia CityCenter is a 76-acre mixed use development project proposed (currently under construction) by MGM Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. The development will be on the site of the now imploded Boardwalk Hotel and Casino and adjoining land between the Bellagio and the Monte Carlo, and will be connected to these resorts via a state-of-the-art people mover system. With a total cost expected to exceed $7 billion, CityCenter is proposed as the largest privately financed development in the United States. Unlike other themed resorts along the Las Vegas Strip, plans include multiple high-rise buildings with contemporary urban design. CityCenter will feature approximately 2,700 units of luxury condominiums, a 4,000-room luxury hotel and casino; two 400-room, non-gaming boutique hotels; and a 500,000-square-foot retail and entertainment district. The project will initially employ an estimated 12,000 people. Apparently, one of those towers is supposed to be 61 stories. http://www.citycenter.com/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moni Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 WOW! I didn't think that there was 76 acres available in that area. Sure will be something. Big money means big plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProHouston Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Damn, it's already under construction. I'm surprised I haven't heard about this yet, especially with all the talk around here of the Mandarin Oriental brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I stumbled across this website ... Its designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli, Foster & Partners, and Rafael Vinoly...I think its a nice break from all the colorful Casinos. Good for Vegas, a "normal" skyline! MGM Presents CityCenter.com. "Destined to be one of the great urban places of the world." ; Also has a Mandarin Oriental hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OkieEric Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I remember it had some bad press a few months ago regarding safety - apparently 6 workers had already died there by June. LinkI stayed across the street from the development a little over a year ago and it was already quite impressive. Must be something to see now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Las Vegas got a taste of Houston, but it was not budget cuts, rather poor construction. Topping out at 28 stories instead of the proposed 49, the incredible shrinking Harmon seems unfortunately fated to look like a stubby, squashed stepchild next to its soaring CityCenter siblings, the 61-story Aria Resort & Casino and the 57-story Vdara condo-hotel.

infinite_jim Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Despite not being part of the design intention, the final height complements the "street valley" scale versus the canyon effect we normally see in downtown high rise densities. It may not be as iconic as the original rendering but, as in life, scars are what make you beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I saw an episode of Colossal Construction on the Science Channel showing this site. Talk about order! They only have such limited space, and everything is going up at once, what a management nightmare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
