The combination of Aria, Mand-Or, Vdara, Cosmo (blander than renderings?) make for a very generic backrop which is basically reflecting the sky?? I hate to say it - but for $11 billion you want something more than a reflection of the sky. Of course, Veer and Harmon may still add some sparkle.
Is that too critical? Does it look much better in person?

I respect your concern. Glass color wise, Veer Towers and The Harmon are exciting. When it comes to ARIA, one day I drove by and it was reflecting a very blue sky and it looked fantastic as the entire east side of it became deep blue.
From the renderings, it looks as if ARIA, Vdara, and Mandarin will reflect sunsets, the sky, other building's lights, etc. In a similar instance to the ARIA "sky blue" experience I had, I drove by Vdara during an orange and yellow sunset and the entire building turned those colors. Nice.
As far as Cosmo, the glass does appear to have changed colors. I think it looks bold and nice - personally, I'm tired of normal old blue towers.
And it's all about the night. Hopefully all of these properties will light up really interesting at night
