VDARA HOTEL AND ARIA RESORT & CASINO AT CITYCENTER NOW ACCEPTING RESERVATIONS

Vdara Hotel CityCenter

LAS VEGAS – February 23, 2009 – CityCenter is now accepting reservations for Vdara Hotel and ARIA Resort & Casino. Opening October 1, Vdara will be the first of CityCenter’s spectacular developments to debut, followed by Mandarin Oriental and Crystals retail and entertainment district in early December. CityCenter’s grand opening celebrations will culminate with the launch of ARIA Resort & Casino Dec. 16.

Located between Bellagio and Monte Carlo resorts, CityCenter will become the cultural centerpiece of Las Vegas and bring a new level of environmental consciousness to the world-famous Strip. 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 Vdara and ARIA, CityCenter will feature two luxurious non-gaming hotels including Las Vegas’ first Mandarin Oriental and The Harmon (slated to open at CityCenter in late 2010); Veer Towers, the development’s only strictly residential buildings; Crystals, a 500,000-square-foot retail and entertainment district; and a $40 million public Fine Art Program. Vdara, Mandarin Oriental and Veer Towers will include approximately 2,400 residences total. CityCenter is a joint venture between MGM MIRAGE (NYSE: MGM) and Infinity World Development Corp, a subsidiary of Dubai World.

“The launch of reservations for Vdara and ARIA brings us one step closer to the opening of this magnificent urban resort destination, which will introduce a new generation of Las Vegas experiences and become the benchmark for hospitality across the globe,” said Bill McBeath, president and COO of ARIA Resort & Casino.

Vdara Hotel – Opening Oct. 1

An internationally inspired all-suite hotel and spa, Vdara is designed for those who love the excitement of Las Vegas but prefer to enjoy it in an exclusive, non-gaming, smoke-free and sustainable environment. Physically connected to Bellagio and adjacent to ARIA Resort & Casino, Vdara will offer access to all of the entertainment, gaming, shopping, dining and nightlife at CityCenter and in Las Vegas, while also providing a retreat from it all.

Designed by RV Architecture, LLC, led by Rafael Viñoly, Vdara’s distinctive crescent shape and unique skin of patterned glass will create one of the most striking design statements in Las Vegas. Soaring 57 stories, Vdara will host 1,495 suites ranging from 500 to 1,650 square feet. Vdara will boast amenities commensurate with the world’s most elite resorts.

From early morning to late evening, Vdara Health & Beauty, its 16,000-square-foot, two-level wellness spa, salon and fitness complex, will soothe and rejuvenate guests. Martin Heierling, the internationally acclaimed innovator behind Bellagio’s AAA Four Diamond restaurant Sensi, will serve as executive chef for all of Vdara’s food and beverage offerings, including Silk Road, a modern trans-ethnic restaurant; Bar Vdara, an eclectic lobby lounge; the luxurious Sky Pool & Lounge; and Gourmet Grocer.

Featuring 10,000 square feet of contemporary conference space, Vdara will be the premier choice in Las Vegas for customized executive meetings, corporate, social and banquet functions for up to 400 guests in an upscale boutique hotel setting.

Just outside of Vdara, Nancy Rubins will create one of the most visually stunning commissions at CityCenter with a larger scale version of her famous installation, Big Pleasure Point, a colorful composition of rowboats, kayaks, canoes, small sailboats and other water vessels finessed into a gravity-defying form.
