CityCenter

Las Vegas, NV

CityCenter, an unprecedented $8 billion urban metropolis will be defined by spectacular architecture, renowned for premier experiences and unrivaled as the address to live and live it up. A joint venture between MGM MIRAGE and Dubai World, this groundbreaking design will introduce a dazzling vertical city at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. Every building will be an icon of superb contemporary design, and together, they will create an unparalleled skyline that will define a new Las Vegas. A world-class development, CityCenter features a soaring 61-story, 4,000-room hotel/casino; two 400-room non-gaming hotels including the city’s first Mandarin Oriental; a 500,000 square foot retail and entertainment district featuring flagship shopping and restaurants by internationally renowned chefs; and approximately 2,650 luxury residences. The CityCenter hotel/casino will be home to a new Cirque du Soleil production celebrating the musical legacy of Elvis Presley. Currently, CityCenter is the largest privately financed development in the history of North America. Charting a new course for responsible growth in Las Vegas, CityCenter is pursuing the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. As planned, the 18-million-square foot, multi-use project will become one of the world’s largest environmentally sustainable urban communities. CityCenter will open in late 2009 on 76 acres between Bellagio and Monte Carlo resorts.

The Resort-Casino

The dramatic soaring hotel tower, casino and convention center designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects will be CityCenter's iconic feature.

Mandarin Oriental and The Harmon

Acting as the gateway to all that CityCenter has to offer, the high-end, non-gaming hotels, operated by hoteliers not currently represented in Las Vegas, will bookend the development. Kohn Pedersen Fox (with whom Perini worked on the expansion of Mohegan Sun in Connecticut) will design the world-class, five-star Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas with renowned interior designer Adam Tihany. Foster and Partners will design The Harmon Hotel & Residences conceived and operated by Andrew Sasson's The Light Group.

Vdara Condo Hotel

Vdara Condo Hotel, designed by RV Architects, LLC led by Rafael Viñoly, will create an urban complex that will forever change the future of architecture and design in Las Vegas and set a new standard for urban development worldwide. This 50-story ebony tower located between Bellagio and the hotel/casino will include approximately 1,543 condo hotel units.

Retail and Entertainment District

Designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind, CityCenter's retail district will feature international luxury brands and high-end couture under a crystalline canopy of unprecedented brilliance. For the interior architecture, David Rockwell and Rockwell Group will create an experiential environment within the retail district complementing the overall city scene. This inviting neighborhood of unique retail shops, dining and entertainment venues will form the core of this urban metropolis.

Veer Towers

Two 37-story glass towers with approximately 337 condominium residences; studios, deluxe studios, one- and two- bedrooms, and penthouses ranging from approximately 500 to 2,600 square feet. Veer’s pair of inclining glass towers convey a distinct sense of movement—and respond to each other to bring their shared space alive. They’re the ideal expression of an exciting and dynamic life.
