Christmas is here. Is there a better way to celebrate than a road trip to Vegas?
Of course, but I'm going anyway. And I'll be taking our long-term 2009 Mazda 6.
One item on the itinerary is to check out CityCenter Las Vegas, the new mega multi-resort developed jointly by MGM and the Dubai World investment firm, cost $8.5B!! One of the five CityCenter resorts is Aria -- which just opened.
CityCenter promotes itself as the "Capital of the New World." Uh huh.
Anyway, I'll keep you posted on my short trip.
Happy Christmas!

$3.1 million for one 2700 sq ft condo!

I'd rather live in Toyah, Texas for nearly free!

You're right -- $8.5B for the whole enchilada, not Aria. I read an ambiguous business article.

Yeah, I think they're still living in the past. They'll sell those condos - in about 15 years.
