Hotels at CityCenter Begin Taking Reservations

Project CityCenter construction, Late January 2009.

MGM CityCenter is forging ahead in these rough times. While plans for the Harmon Hotel and Spa have been both scaled back and delayed, two hotels in the mega-complex from MGM Mirage Resorts have begun taking reservations today--The Vdara Hotel and ARIA Resort & Casino.

Vdara is set to open on October 1 and ARIA will follow on December 16. Reservations for the two hotels can be made through their websites (here and here, respectively). Vdara will start at $159 a night and ARIA at $179. However, this morning we found a deluxe suite at Vdara for $199 a night while the Aria Las Vegas site just redirected us to the MGM Mirage Resorts home page. Hopefully, this will be sorted out by the end of the day.

More on the hotels after the jump.

From the press release:

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.... Soaring 57 stories, Vdara will host 1,495 suites ranging from 500 to 1,650 square feet....

Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, ARIA will feature unprecedented combination of exclusive guestroom technology, spectacular amenities, personalized attention and sustainable design. The soaring 4,004-room steel and glass beauty will be the centerpiece of CityCenter with a sophisticated, modern design demonstrably different from any building that has preceded it.

Vdara will feature cuisine from Martin Heierling who already helms the AAA four-diamond Sensei restaurant at Bellagio while ARIA will have restaurants from Masayoshi Takayama, Shawn McClain, Michael Mina, Julian Serrano, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Sirio Maccioni, Jean-Philippe Maury and The Light Group. There will also be a Cirque du Soleil production inside ARIA as well.

Even though ARIA is not opening its rooms until December, the hotel's concierge service and reservations for the spa, salon and restaurants will open in October. Let's hope both of these hotels don't fall victim to the dreaded "D" word.
