City Center Stats

I just received my new "Business Press" magazine and I thought I would share with you some interesting statistics about the MGM's City- Center Project.

• $9.1 BILLION dollars in construction costs (thats a whole lotta dough)
• 2650 Luxury condos & condo hotel units (thats a whole lotta condos!)
• 7 Buildings in total
• 12,000 permanent jobs when the project opens (thats a whole lotta jobs!)
• 100 new hires a month
• There are 14 tower cranes on site
• 24 MILLION man hours worked thru October
• 6 worker deaths (6 too many)
• 800 golf carts and buggies on site

NOW CATCH THIS INFORMATION

• Veer is two 37 story condos with a total of 670 residences (sheesh!)
• Vdara 57 story 1,543 room condo-hotel
• Aria Tower - 4000 hotel rooms (thats right 4000!)
• 655,000 sq foot concention center (watch out Sands!)
• Harmon Hotel & Spa has 400 hotel rooms and 240 condos.
• 645,000 sq feet of dining, shopping and entertainment

I have been around City Center since its inception, but the magnitutde of the place was not as clear as it was when I read it in a snap shot version such as I provided for you. Only in Vegas!
