Opportunity to Live the Las Vegas Strip Experience LAS VEGAS, June
26 /PRNewswire/ -- With more than 10,000 cubic yards of concrete
delivered by convoy, MGM MIRAGE set the foundation today for the
transformation of the Las Vegas Strip. Project CityCenter, an
unprecedented $7 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 design
collaboration between MGM MIRAGE (NYSE:MGM) and six internationally
acclaimed architects, CityCenter opens in 2009 on 66 acres between
Bellagio and Monte Carlo resorts. At the heart of the action on the
Las Vegas Strip, CityCenter will feature a soaring 60-story,
4,000-room hotel/casino; two 400-room, non-gaming hotels; 500,000
square feet of retail shops, dining and entertainment venues; and
luxury condominiums. "This marks a significant milestone in our
vision to create a living experience like none other in Las Vegas,"
said Terry Lanni, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MGM
MIRAGE. "Project CityCenter's stunning contemporary architecture
coupled with its singular collection of amenities will set this
global city apart as a place not just to visit, but to live." MGM
MIRAGE also announced today three additions to the unrivaled
architectural design team assembled to bring the CityCenter vision
to reality. Studio Daniel Libeskind, Murphy/Jahn Architects and
Rockwell Group have been selected to join CityCenter's celebrated
and world-class design and architecture team. These firms will give
shape to the project's pulse-setting retail/residential component:
a modern urban residential district rich with high-end shops,
gourmet restaurants and unique pedestrian environments. "The
addition of Studio Daniel Libeskind, Murphy/Jahn and Rockwell Group
-- architectural firms acclaimed for their remarkable global
portfolios -- appropriately round out a design team with the
credentials to shape the future look of Las Vegas and set the
benchmark for new growth in this city and beyond," said Robert
Baldwin, President and CEO of Mirage Resorts, Inc., an operating
division of MGM MIRAGE. Among Project CityCenter's key elements: *
Hotel/Casino: Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, the
contemporary design of this striking landmark tower will become the
focal point of the Las Vegas skyline; * Condominium/Hotel: Designed
by Rafael Vinoly Architects, this 50-story ebony tower located
between Bellagio and the Hotel/Casino will include 1,543
residential units; * Murphy/Jahn-Designed Residences: Designed by
Murphy/Jahn Architects, these two silhouette towers of glass
together will include 810 modern, loft-like residences surrounded
by the best retail, restaurants and entertainment on the Strip; *
Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Residences: Designed by KPF Architects,
this extraordinary building will mix the prestige of an
internationally renowned resort brand and its unparalleled
amenities with a world-class, five-star hotel and residential
experience. Renowned interior designer Adam Tihany, noted for
extraordinary projects around the world, will be the principal
designer of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The Mandarin also will
feature 215 luxury residential units; * Lifestyle Hotel and
Residences: Designed by Foster and Partners, this lifestyle hotel
conceived and operated by Andrew Sasson's Light Group will define
hip, urban living on the Strip and deliver top-flight service and
amenities for guests and residents; * The Retail District: Designed
by Studio Daniel Libeskind, Project 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. "Individually, each of these projects is striking
and refined," Baldwin said. "Together, they reflect an integrated
design approach that promotes discovery, enhances operational
efficiencies and customizes the look and feel of this new urban Las
Vegas experience." Project CityCenter's residential Presentation
Center will open in January 2007. Charting a new course for
responsible growth in Las Vegas, MGM MIRAGE is pursuing the U.S.
Green Building Council's Leadership In Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) certification at Project CityCenter. The
18-million-square foot, multi-use project will incorporate a
variety of elements -- from the use of reclaimed water to on-site
power generation -- to make it one of the world's largest
environmentally sustainable urban communities. "Designing Project
CityCenter with sustainable elements and practices reinforces its
permanence and creates a healthier environment for our future
tenants and guests, as well as for the 12,000 people who will
ultimately work at Project CityCenter," Baldwin said. About MGM
