No going back now on CityCenter — the MGM Mirage braintrust was on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Vdara today, including hotel manager Angela Lester, CityCenter president and CEO Bobby Baldwin, MGM Mirage CEO Jim Murren, Infinity World Development Corp. president Bill Grounds and Aria chief Bill McBeath.
Follow through for an extensive look at the inside of the all-suite hotel, including Bar Vdara, Martin Heierling’s Silk Road and Vdara’s selections from CityCenter’s fine art collection: Pater Wegner’s Day for Night, Night for Day, made entirely out of folded paper; Frank Stella’s Damascus Gate Variation I behind the lobby desk; and Nancy Rubins’ quickly-becoming-ubiquitous Big Edge canoe cluster-hump outside.
