CityCenter’s Mandarin Oriental makes Vegas Debut
One of the world’s most prestigious hotel brands makes its Las Vegas debut today when the 47-story Mandarin Oriental opens at the $8.5 billion CityCenter. It’s the third building of this week’s phased opening at MGM Mirage’s Strip resort campus. The Las Vegas Mandarin Oriental has 392 rooms and suites as well as 227 apartments and condominiums with a separate entrance from the hotel.
A two-level, 27,000-square-foot spa includes 17 treatment rooms, including seven suites for couples. The property also has 12,000 square feet of meeting space, including a 7,650-square-foot configurable ballroom with high-tech audiovisual and lighting systems. A lion dance was performed at the ribbon-cutting event for the Mandarin Oriental. It is an Asian cultural performance that summons good luck and fortune.
