Yay! The next few months are going to be interesting for the bridge. Next up is road surface I believe. I wonder what its observation area will be like?

Everything is coming along quickly.. Veer West glass has reached the top.. The metallic roof of the Crystals looks great. I'm still disappointed with the tram stations, but it is what it is.....

i understand what you're getting at solediavolo, but all the structures at citycenter are far enough away from the MC tower that it still gives each room a large panoramic view... i [/URL]


Oh, I hear ya. That's why I said in my post, "To be clear, my thoughts were eventually based on pictures of the new Cirque theatre which is right there, looking over the pool. Not the further off high rises."

I was pretty much talking about the theatre, which every time I look reminds me of Paulie Walnuts sitting outside Satriale's butcher shop, tanning with that reflective metal thing. It just looks like one ginormous reflective tanning thingamajing. So I guess that's actually perfect for a pool setting.

From Mandarin's Facebook:

"Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas, opening December 2009, has been fitted with two oversized building wraps on the hotel’s south exterior and Strip-side ballroom. The building’s south-facing façade is adorned with a 144-foot by 144-foot “We ‘Fan’ Vegas” screen wrap, a playful pictogram using the Group’s well-recognized symbol – the fan. The Strip-side ballroom’s floor-to-ceiling glass windows are fitted with a colorful version of the hotel Group’s celebrity fan campaign. Twelve of the Group’s most recognizable fans will overlook the Strip-front Grand Ballroom. The Mandarin Oriental ‘Fan’ campaign features celebrity “fans” who regularly stay at the hotels and consider themselves to be fans of the Group."

Looks so good. Only three months to go!

About Fontainebleau, it is a shame that banks had to abruptly cut funding, however the project did require an amount of credit that simply isn't available in this market. Their best hope is mediation between the banks and a combination of investors to get the project finished.

Also sad is that Bofa valued the project at 1.76 billion when it would require 3.2 billion. Almost devalued by half!

New interview with MGM CEO Jim Murren:

http://www.cnbc.com/id/32642315

He says CityCenter condo price adjustments will be available in Oct. along with financing options for buyers.

Interestingly enough he says MGM has sold more than 70 percent of condo product at CityCenter. That wouldn't be possible unless they took out Vdara's unsold inventory, which would mean they will likely absorb more than half of the units there.

Those units will probably be the inventory for when the hotel opens in Dec., since closings for Vdara were scheduled for Feb. - Mar. 2010.

I honestly believe that the eye of the hurricane has past. Sure the economy may take time to rebound in Vegas; however, I see stalled projects eventually being completed and new life as always emerging in this great city. Those new photos of Cosmo/City Center Progress are just unbelievable! In time both places will be packed!

[glowrock]

Was in Vegas for a couple of nights last week. A few comments governing City Center:

1) It is truly an amazing project in terms of size and scope. Extremely tall, extremely dense, and very modern! :tup:

2) Poor Monte Carlo Hotel. Can't even see the damn thing anymore! :)

3) Construction, construction, construction! I stayed at Planet Hollywood, and I couldn't get to the parking garage without a half-hour of gridlock no matter which way I went! The Strip, Tropicana, Harmon, Koval, all a nightmare! :(

4) I wonder how many of the units are REALLY sold already, and I wonder how many more hotel rooms are REALLY needed... Will the project be half-empty or more for years to come?

Aaron (Glowrock)

it depends on which angle you're looking at it from. there is still a huge section where it is highly visible. i know because i was looking at it and thinking about it last time i went down there. yes, from the north you can't see it, but you can't see the luxor either.

Was "condo" removed from the Vdara website (http://www.vdara.com/)? I swear it said condo hotel under Vdara near the opening countdown?? Under the about section (http://www.vdara.com/about/) Vdara is described as an all-suite boutique hotel, not sure if it always said that or if it was recently changed?

Good for them. I thought they were aiming for Silver and they actually got Gold!

Looks like it should follow up with LEED certification for Mandarin, Crystals and Veer.

To be able to market Aria and Vdara as the first Gold certified LEED hotels will be quite a marketing feat.

Damn. As if Las Vegas wasn't mesmerizing already...

Las Vegas sun has a good article (http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/sep/15/potential-buyer-negotiations-stalled-fontainebleau/) on it.

It wouldn't surprise me if Apollo Management bought it and handed it over to Harrah's. I think Harrah's can see the bottom of the economy and wants to buy up property before the prices gow up again.

VEGAS' CITYCENTER OPENS DOORS TO WORLD'S MOST SPECTACULAR OFFERINGS IN ONE SINGULAR SETTING, DECEMBER 2009

http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/mgm/40097/

New PR from MGM Mirage. Includes a new video and further details each facet of the project.

In the description for Vdara, the company notes 'sophisticated condo-hotel units', so it looks like speculation that the condos would be axed isn't true.

Aria opens in 3 months :)

They edited out the Mandarin and Harmon crane... :P

this may seem like an obvious answer.......but where will the actual casino/gaming part of City Center (will just Aria have a casino) be located and when will it open?

[Xtreme215]

The Harmon seems to be topped off floor-wise. They are now adding the crown...

Now that the final buildings are all in place the large, medium, small from left to right doesn't seem so bad. With Harmon shorter, Vdara actually does a nice job to bookend the property and provide a sense of depth.

Driving home from work I noticed that the crane on Veer West is coming down as well. Can't wait to see the finished product! :D
