You seem sensitive over anyone criticizing City Center. Did you buy a condo there or something?
That's funny, one dissenting post and I'm a City Center apologist.
I'm just saying criticizing CityCenter's architecture in relation to the rest of the strip is like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500. The entire strip is an architectural mess, second only to the mess that is I-Drive in Orlando.
Real estate is at a premium, you can't blame MGM from trying to make all the money out of the property as they can. I'm more interested in how it looks from the inside, not from PH or Paris.
Not sure why you're holding out Wynn as an example of "good"...what was it described as?
"The theme is midrise office tower in Houston, circa 1983." The earth mountain? Engineered with the sole purpose of blocking the view of the Frontier? Totally out of place with "strip aesthetic" if there is such a thing. But hey, its green, so it has to be good.
And to answer your question: i don't work for MGM or Dubai World; I don't have a condo in Vegas (or anywhere else); I stay at Harrah's properties when in Vegas.
