I’m filing in haste from CityCenter, where I have Aria, Vdara and Mandarin Oriental tours scheduled. Hopefully, I’ll be back at the keyboard later this afternoon. I poked my head into Crystals long enough to see very, very light pedestrian traffic. Presumably contractual obligations forced its opening in such a semi-finished, half-occupied state (though that may not be much of an excuse). As soft Vegas openings go, this may be the softest in 10 years.
Computers abound in what is the nicest media center in which I’ve yet set foot. There are a couple of HDTV sets, too … tuned to Fox News. Yeah, big surprise there.
My tour awaits. More later.
Really? I would have expected Fox News at a Wynn opening at this point, at MGM I would expected CNBC.
Perhaps in an effort to be fair and balanced, the TVs had been switched to CNN by nightfall.
