ARIA Resort & Casino - Vdara Hotel - Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas - Crystals
Conceived
to bring a true center to The Strip,
CityCenter is much more than a
collection of resorts and residences;
it's a community - a welcoming
environment for people to gather, relax
and enjoy. Great pedestrian corridors,
dynamic public spaces, authentic
richness and diversity of experiences
evoke the energy of the world's most
exciting places. CityCenter's public
Fine Art
Collection
enliven the street and engage passersby.
As if in a strolling gallery, guests
happen upon works by world-renowned
artists such as Maya Lin or Nancy Rubins
as they wander through CityCenter's
walkways, hotels and residences.
"CityCenter bridges the vitality of Las
Vegas with the experiences travelers
seek when they visit great cities around
the world, whether London, Hong Kong or
San Francisco - spectacular
architecture, culturally significant
art, great public spaces, sophisticated
hotels, unique restaurants and
incredible amenities," said Bobby
Baldwin, president and CEO, CityCenter.
"It is an evolutionary destination that
aims to transform Las Vegas as a new
symbol at its core, like the Guggenheim
in Bilbao,
the Pompidou in Paris or the SONY Center
in Berlin."
ARIA
Resort & Casino
is a fusion of energy, inspiration and
vision, featuring an unprecedented
combination of striking architecture,
sustainable design, high-end service and
spectacular amenities. Even in a city
such as Las Vegas, with its
extraordinary history of dynamic
cutting-edge developments, ARIA is
demonstrably different than anything
that has preceded it.
-- Architecture. Designed by the world-renowned firm Pelli Clarke Pelli,
ARIA's two breathtaking curvilinear steel and glass towers embody
the excitement and vitality of Las Vegas in a 21st century building; a
crystalline, undulating form gleaming in the desert light. Soaring open
spaces, ranging from ARIA's three-story lobby to its guestrooms,
fill with natural light and evoke breadth and freedom.
-- Dining. ARIA has assembled many of the best and brightest chefs and
restaurateurs from around the country, uniting a pair of remarkable Las
Vegas newcomers with those who have played integral roles in the
development of Las Vegas' culinary scene: Masayoshi Takayama, Shawn
McClain, Michael Mina, Julian Serrano, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Sirio
Maccioni, Jean-Philippe Maury and The Light Group. Each delivers a
concept totally new to their repertoire.
-- Entertainment. ARIA takes one of the most captivating, hip-swiveling
forces of all time and re-create an old-school vibe in its intimate
approximately 1,840-seat theatre. The visionary team at Cirque du Soleil
has partnered with CKX, Inc. and its subsidiary Elvis Presley
Enterprises to create a permanent production celebrating the timeless
musical legacy of Elvis Presley. This production aims to pay tribute to
Elvis' music and life, fusing dance and acrobatics, live music and
iconic tracks, nostalgia and modernity, high technology and raw emotion.
Extraordinary artistry, astonishing acrobatics, stunning special effects
and The King revs up vintage Vegas into a show like no other.
-- Art. At ARIA, famed artist Maya Lin is creating an approximately 84-foot
silver cast of the Colorado River, which is her first work of art
displayed in Las Vegas; Jenny Holzer displays a thought-provoking
LED sign spanning more than 280 feet; Tony Cragg has commissioned three
sculptures that examine the relationship between nature and the man-made
world: Bolt, 2007, Bent of Mind, 2008, and Untitled (tall column), 2008;
and Antony Gormley displays Feeling Material XXVII, 2007, an 8-foot
sculpture that uses spiraling steel to depict the silhouette of a human
body at the center of an orbiting energy field.
-- Accommodations. Within ARIA's 4,004 guestrooms, including 568
suites, panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer magnificent views
of Las Vegas' striking skyline. Modern decor, lavish amenities,
cutting-edge entertainment and next-generation technology is the
hallmark of these plush retreats.
-- Guestroom Technology. ARIA features the most technologically
advanced guestrooms in the country. As guests first enter, they are
"greeted" as curtains open, lights turn on and the TV displays
a menu of preferences. Guests can wake up through controlled
temperature, preferred music or TV channels and the opening of curtains.
One touch can make-over the entire room: the "good night"
button turns everything off - from TV and music to lights - as the
privacy notification turns on.
-- Spa. In ARIA's 80,000-square-foot spa, nature's healing
properties take center stage. Salt, stone, earth, fire and water join to
create a spa experience that elevates guests to a meditative state.
The two-level Spa features 62 treatment rooms, a full-service salon,
an advanced fitness center and Las Vegas' first co-ed spa balcony,
featuring an outdoor therapy pool and views of ARIA's spectacular
poolscape.
-- Nightclubs, Lounges and Bars. ARIA features 10 chic bars and
lounges, including Haze Nightclub by The Light Group, a colossal
cutting-edge space in which guests are challenged to question their
sense of perception and reality. Designed by award-winning interior
design firm, ICRAVE, the nightclub features large hanging props over
the entryway that draws guests to a grand staircase transporting
them to the mezzanine level where they enjoy a bird's-eye view
of the action below. The main dance floor peers up at a wall of
interactive projection screens stretching 100 feet across on a
performance structure where impromptu acts by world-renowned artists
regularly take place.
-- Meetings and Conventions. ARIA provides a premium meeting experience
with 300,000 square feet of technologically advanced meeting and
convention space. A spectacular glass curtain wall spans the entire
north facade of the three-level meeting facility, allowing guests the
ability to enjoy the brilliance of natural light that streams in from
ARIA's lush poolscape.
-- Pools. ARIA's vast 215,000-square-foot pool deck is a tropical
oasis in the heart of the desert. Shielded by lush plantings of
oversized palm, acacia, pine and bottle trees, the soft and sensual
paradise features three primary pools, Liquid - an adults-only pool
- hot tubs and more.
-- Casino. ARIA's casino approaches the gaming experience in a new
light; natural light, to be specific, which streams onto the gaming
floor in pools of illumination. Offering 150,000 square feet of gaming,
ARIA's unique layout and design elements allow guests to enjoy
the energy and excitement of their favorite selections in a more
personal and intimate setting. For high-end players, exclusive salons
offer high-limit slot and table games in private environments.
Throughout the casino, never-before-seen technologies allow ARIA to
provide guests with unmatched customer service.

stunning commissions at CityCenter with Big Edge. Measuring

and ocean vessels finessed into a gravity-defying form that Rubins calls
"a blooming flower." Peter Wegner has commissioned a

sophisticated retail and dining.

with interior architecture by David
Rockwell and Rockwell Group, Crystals
combines dramatic architecture with
exclusive offerings from the world's
most elite brands to become a preeminent

dynamic sculpture that presents a work of art from every angle. The
multi-faceted, brilliant glass canopy depicts the intricate beauty of a
quartz crystal that welcomes an abundance of natural light into the
stunning three-level experiential environment.
-- Atmosphere. Within, Rockwell was inspired to create an abstracted 21st
century park that reintroduces and celebrate nature and seasons. A
central element of this design is the three-story sculptural tree house
that reaches 70 feet from the ground level to frame an oculus in the
roof. Visible throughout Crystals, the tree house serves as a
meeting point for guests and unfold on the second level to surround the
terrace seating at Mastro's Ocean Club. Crystals also features

-- Art. In The Park between ARIA and Crystals, guests will find Henry
Moore's Reclining Connected Forms, 1969-1974, a sculpture inspired
by the fundamentals of the human experience. Measuring approximately 10
feet tall and 17 feet long by 7 feet deep, the abstract work of art
displays a baby wrapped in its mother's embrace. On The Strip near
Crystals, CityCenter has acquired works by French designer-sculptor
Francois-Xavier Lalanne. CityCenter showcases three of
Lalanne's edition of Tourterelle, 1997, a large-scale turtledove
