City Center Now Open

City Center, an $8 billion project by MGM and others finally completed it's openings last night with the opening of Aria. City Center is the largest private construction in the world's history.
City Center currently employs around 12,000 people, but that number will surely go down as most resorts hire high and then lay off people when business goes down.
City Center is a very high end resort. It literally is a city within a city. It has condos, 1 casino, hotels, shopping, restaurants and even it's own fire station.
For locals, it represents a lot of jobs and a larger tax base.
However, the resort, for the most part, does not cater to most locals. The shops are very high end, the hotel rooms are some of the most expensive in Las Vegas and it is difficult to get to, as opposed to other resorts. The biggest plus for locals is that is will lower prices at other resorts and casinos.
Don't think we will be seeing Tiger Woods there, anytime soon, though. This is (was) his kind of resort.
So, good luck to City Center and hope it succeeds.
