CityCenter, the spectacular multi-use development opening later this year on the Las Vegas Strip, announced today an unparalleled collection of unique luxury retailers and restaurateurs that will join the already outstanding lineup at Crystals. The 500,000 square-foot retail and dining district is certain to become Las Vegas' premier shopping experience.

Opening December 3, Crystals will showcase an unprecedented array of the world's most exclusive retailers including many flagship stores. For many of these brands, the Crystals' location will represent their largest in Las Vegas, the United States, or in some cases, the world.

Large-format luxury retailers that will establish Crystals as a preeminent international shopping destination include Prada, Christian Dior, Bulgari, Carolina Herrera, Hermes, Roberto Cavalli, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Versace. These esteemed brands will join previously announced retailers Louis Vuitton, TIFFANY & CO. and Ermenegildo Zegna.

Unique-to-the-market retailers opening their first locations in Las Vegas include Tom Ford, Assouline, Kiton, Miu Miu, Paul Smith and Porsche Design, along with the previously announced H. Stern, de Grisogono, Marni, Boutique Tourbillon and Mikimoto. Restaurants opening their first Las Vegas locations at Crystals include Eva Longoria Parker's Beso and Mastro's Ocean Club Seafood House. These dynamic restaurants will join an exciting new Pub concept by Todd English and two previously announced new concepts by Wolfgang Puck.

Other prestigious retailers joining Crystals' luminous lineup include Bally, Emilio Pucci and ILORI. Additionally, Dale Chihuly will introduce a stunning new gallery.

The Taubman Company, the world's leading developer of upscale shopping centers, is responsible for the leasing of Crystals.

"We've assembled an extraordinary collection of retailers and restaurateurs to make Crystals one of the world's most unique shopping and entertainment districts when it opens this December," said Frank Visconti, president of retail for CityCenter. "Crystals will delight guests with its unique architecture, awe-inspiring interior design, brilliant art and intriguing water features. These experiential offerings, coupled with exclusive items from the industry's most celebrated brands, will make Crystals a premier social and cultural environment in the heart of CityCenter."

An architectural achievement that integrates the talents of world-renowned artists, architects and designers, CityCenter will attract visitors from around the world as a landmark of global taste and style. In addition to Crystals, CityCenter will feature ARIA Resort & Casino, a spectacular 4,004-room gaming resort; three luxurious non-gaming hotels including Las Vegas' first Mandarin Oriental, Vdara Hotel and The Harmon (slated to open in late 2010); Veer Towers, the development's only strictly residential buildings; an unprecedented Fine Art Collection. Mandarin Oriental, Vdara and Veer Towers will include approximately 2,400 residences.

CityCenter is a joint venture between MGM MIRAGE (NYSE: MGM) and Infinity World Development Corp, a subsidiary of Dubai World. For more information about CityCenter, please visit www.citycenter.com.
