Vegas Events

Great news for green meetings from Las Vegas. MGM's CityCenter has announced that its two hotels, ARIA Resort & Casino and Vdara Hotel & Spa, have received LEED Gold certification, making them the first hotels in Las Vegas to to so.

Eco-friendly features at the two hotels include water conservation technology programs, stretch limos powered by clean-burning compressed natural gas and a large-scale recycling operation. CityCenter has also announced that 97 percent of the imploded Boardwalk Hotel has been recycled.

Designed by world-renowned architectural firm Pelli Clarke Pelli, ARIA will feature 4,004 guest rooms and 300,000 square feet of Las Vegas meeting space. The 18-story Vdara will offer 10,000 square feet of ground-level conference space. Both Las Vegas hotels are set to open in December this year.

CityCenter expects Gold or Silver LEED certification for its other developments, which include the Crystals retail district and Las Vegas' first Mandarin Oriental.
