Can An Urban Destination Be A Work
Of Art?

Yes, when all of its pieces come together superbly. The visionary 19th century American city builder Daniel Burnham once wrote, “We have found that those cities which retain their dominions over mankind achieve that result through the harmony and beauty of their civic works.”

At CityCenter, harmony and beauty will extend from the location as a whole to the buildings within it—and all the way to the individual residences within them. From floor plans and sightlines to colors and materials, architects and designers have approached each of CityCenter’s approximately 2,700 residences as a unique work of art, with the appeal of a collectible as well as its own sense of comfort.

Elsewhere within CityCenter, harmony and beauty will live in the curated works of public art that are part of a major multimillion dollar initiative to enliven the street and engage you as you walk by.

Step off the automated transit system that runs throughout CityCenter to take a stroll down the magnificent promenade that begins at The Strip: In places, you’ll feel the tranquil quality of landscaping and sunlight. In others, the thrill of dynamic sculptures of ice, water and light.

Restaurants and clubs will distract and delight you. The first major permanent collection of art in Las Vegas—integrated into public spaces—will engage you. A new venue will be home to the energy, inspiration and creativity of an original new Cirque du Soleil show. And exquisite retail showcases will present the world’s most sought after goods.

Rising above even CityCenter’s other soaring towers, a 4,000- room resort casino will shimmer with a façade of glass that acts like a canvas day and night, playing off the lights of the city. An icon of sophisticated and sustainable design as well as the world’s most exceptional resort casino destination, CityCenter’s undeniable centerpiece will incorporate abundant natural light and many other features, materials and systems to marry responsible building with uncompromising comfort.

Whether contemplating the view from your window, coming face-to-face with a contemporary masterpiece or simply immersing yourself in the life of its public spaces, CityCenter invites you to look close, feel deeply and discover something new with every encounter—as a great work of art 12 t is bound to do.
