ARIA Will Forever Change the Las Vegas Skyline LAS VEGAS, May 19
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CityCenter has revealed that its stunning
resort casino, scheduled to open in late 2009, will be named ARIA.
With an unprecedented combination of striking architecture,
sustainable design, high-end service and spectacular amenities,
ARIA Resort & Casino will immediately become the focal point
not only of the Las Vegas skyline but of the hospitality industry.
"ARIA will be demonstrably different than any resort that has
preceded it," said Bill McBeath, the resort's president and COO.
"Even in a city such as Las Vegas, with its extraordinary history
of dynamic cutting-edge development, ARIA will introduce a new
generation of resort experiences." Designed by the world-renowned
firm Pelli Clarke Pelli, ARIA's architectural expression will
reveal itself at every turn, from its two breathtaking curvilinear
glass towers to the clean use of natural elements including lush
foliage, wood and stone. Soaring open spaces, ranging from ARIA's
three-story lobby and casino to its guest rooms, will fill with
natural light and evoke breadth and freedom. Art and interior
design will envelop guests in warm, comforting surroundings and
provide a sense of human scale. Impeccable hospitality and creative
personalized attention will join with an incredible array of
amenities to provide each guest an unmatched journey through ARIA.
The resort casino will feature a variety of dining experiences,
from the casual comfort of bistros and cafes to culinary
masterpieces from world-renowned chefs and restaurateurs. Guests
also will enjoy ARIA's dynamic collection of lounges, bars and
nightclubs. For a day of relaxation, ARIA's luxurious spa will
offer a complete menu of skincare, massage and hydrotherapy
treatments to be enjoyed in its 62 individual treatment rooms or
three spa suites, designed to accommodate couples' treatments,
bachelorette parties or small group events. Guests also may savor a
quiet moment on the spa's co-ed balcony overlooking the resort's
beautiful pool. The spa will be complemented by the resort's
full-service salon, barbershop, deluxe fitness room and group
exercise studio. ARIA will form the core of CityCenter, a more than
$8 billion dazzling vertical city underway between Bellagio and
Monte Carlo resorts on the Las Vegas Strip. CityCenter also will
feature three luxurious non-gaming hotels, Las Vegas' first
Mandarin Oriental, The Harmon Hotel, Spa & Residences and Vdara
Condo Hotel; Veer Towers, the development's only strictly
residential buildings; and The Crystals, a 500,000-square-foot
retail and entertainment district. CityCenter is a joint venture
between MGM MIRAGE (NYSE:MGM) and Dubai World. A GLIMPSE INTO ARIA
Accommodations The contemporary architecture of the ARIA tower will
be complemented by the resort's lavish accommodations. ARIA's 4,004
guest rooms, including 568 suites, will incorporate integrated
technologies never before used in the hospitality industry. Guest
room corridors streaming with natural light will open to areas of
enclosed glass, delivering spectacular city or mountain views.
Guests also can enjoy these breathtaking panoramas from the privacy
of their rooms; all will feature expansive floor-to-ceiling
windows. ARIA's modern tower is uniquely designed to deliver
corner-window views from every guest room. ARIA's rooms and suites
will imbue a melodic composition of dramatic color tones,
expressive artwork and a lyrical balance of textures and materials
that convey calm and elegance. Each room will be complemented by
dark woods, impeccable decor and sumptuous amenities. Entertainment
As the entertainment centerpiece of ARIA, 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. The show
will bring Elvis back to Las Vegas for millions of his existing
fans and create a buzz that will enable the persona of Elvis to
attract untold numbers of new followers. The creative combination
of live musicians and singers, projections, dance and the latest in
multimedia sound and lighting technology will aim to create an
emotional bond with the audience. Meetings & Convention
Facilities ARIA will provide a premium meeting experience with a
unique blend of modern architecture, distinctive decor, and 300,000
square feet of technologically advanced meeting and convention
space. Four ballrooms will offer the flexibility to accommodate
gatherings of all sizes from 10 to 5,000 attendees, and three will
feature fully functioning theatrical stages. The facility will
encompass three levels and deliver a total of 38 meeting rooms
ranging from 800 to 2,000 square feet. The north facade will
feature a spectacular glass curtain wall that overlooks ARIA's
beautiful pool providing a lush, landscaped backdrop and the warmth
of natural light. Fine Art Throughout CityCenter's grounds,
visitors will enjoy access to an extensive $40 million public Fine
Art Program encompassing a multitude of styles and media -- ranging
from sculptures and paintings to large-scale installations --
engaging visitors on both a visual and intellectual level. The
CityCenter Fine Art Program is designed to become a benchmark for
enlightened corporate involvement with the arts on a global level
and will be one of the world's largest and most ambitious corporate
art programs. One of the program's highlights will be featured
within ARIA's reception area. Famed artist Maya Lin is creating an
approximately 133-foot silver cast of the Colorado River, which
will be her first work of art displayed in Las Vegas. Lin is
incorporating reclaimed silver in the spirit of CityCenter's
commitment to sustainability and in light of Nevada's standing as
the "Silver State." The work of Jenny Holzer will be on display as
guests approach the resort's north valet, where they will be
welcomed by one of the artist's insightful LED signs spanning more
than 250 feet. Additional artists represented in the Fine Art
Program will include Nancy Rubins, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van
Bruggen, Frank Stella, Henry Moore and Richard Long, among others.
Retail at CityCenter Just outside ARIA's lobby doors, The Crystals,
CityCenter's retail and entertainment district, will house more
than 500,000 square feet of sophisticated retail and deliver
exclusive offerings from the world's most celebrated brands.
Sustainability at CityCenter 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. The resort casino's design incorporates sustainable
features including the extensive use of natural light, dramatically
reducing lighting power requirements in guest rooms and
water-saving fixtures throughout. For more information about
