Two stars for the interesting architecture and artwork inside but otherwise this place has nothing to recommend to it unless you feel like dropping a lot of cash on high end clothing and accessories. Did Vegas really need another Chanel or Louis Vuitton store? I'm not sure how this place will stay open for very long. Walking through the cavernous mall area I did not see anyone shopping, just a smattering of people wandering around looking at the various art installations (the tornado water tubes are rather cool). Some of the restaurants looked interesting and were not priced too terribly high but these were half empty as well. Maybe the well-to-do aren't out and about at 9 pm on a Friday evening.
It was nice to be able to get out of the crowds and heat by coming here but after about twenty minutes I was ready to go because of the odd cologne-type scent they seem to pump through this place. It's not necessarily bad but it's pervasive and made my eyes itch and water. I guess this is supposed to add to the luxury experience but it just made me ill.
The tram service throughout the property is efficient and it appears as though you never have to wait longer than five minutes for the next train which is nice. Unless I stay at the Bellagio or one of the property hotels though I'm not sure I'll ever go back to City Center.
