Whose casino would you rather visit …
… Stanley Ho‘s Oceanus at Jai Alai or …
… MGM Mirage‘s CityCenter? I’ll bet you’ve never heard a megaresort described as a “campus” before. True, CityCenter has Henry Moore and Maya Lin among its roster of artists. But does it have a glove worn by Michael Jackson? Or Stanley Ho’s giant truffle?
(Thanks to Ian Sutton, of GamingFloor.com, for the inspired juxtaposition. His site also features a video clip of Sheldon Adelson‘s latest “progress” report on Marina Bay Sands. Symbolically, the clip doesn’t play — it just loads interminably.)
Dave, after reading your review(s) of CityCenter, I’m not in a big hurry to get on over there. Eventually will though just to be a good tourist. Glad to see the support for your felines. A Happy New Year to you and yours.
City Center will need to evolve to being warmer and friendlier. They need to have places in Crystals where real people want to go which would also be great for Aria. I wish they would put the Pinball Hall of Fame in City Center!
Howard, what you said.
EDC, when you do go to CityCenter, if you’ve got a coffee or pastry hankering, DO NOT go to Aria’s Roasted Bean coffee stand. It’s a ripoff. Instead, go to The Cup, in Crystals. The menu’s great and it’s about the only thing in Crystals with wallet-friendly prices.
