Prepare Contractors for Work on $7 Billion Project LAS VEGAS, March
14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MGM MIRAGE and Perini Building Company
have launched a nationwide campaign to identify qualified minority,
women, and disadvantaged-owned business enterprises (MWDBEs) to
participate in the construction of a $7 billion construction
project underway in Las Vegas known as CityCenter. Recently, the
two companies began distributing brochures and promotional videos
to interested companies. Perini is the general contractor
overseeing all construction of CityCenter. Additionally, MGM MIRAGE
and Perini have created the Construction and Business Management
Training Program for diverse contractors who are awarded work on
the CityCenter project. The program, which is provided free of cost
to participants, will provide contractors with information to
strengthen their business and leadership skills, increase project
management efficiency and optimize project success. "One of our
primary goals is to include as many qualified construction
diversity firms as possible as we build CityCenter," said Anderine
Cowan, MGM MIRAGE's Construction Diversity Manager. "We have spent
the past year reaching out to companies in Las Vegas and now we are
expanding the search throughout the U.S. There are numerous
opportunities for us to engage contractors." The outreach supports
MGM MIRAGE's corporate policy that requires diverse participation
in all construction bids. CityCenter is currently the largest
privately-funded construction project in the U.S. Anchored on 76
acres, the development will include a 4,000-room hotel tower,
casino and convention center; two luxury condominium towers; and
two non-gaming hotels. CityCenter will also have 500,000 square
feet of retail stores, cafes, galleries, bars and jazz clubs.
