i thought it was brilliant that there's something new and different around the Las Vegas Strip. it may not tie in with the whole "Sin City" atmosphere. it's always nice to throw a curve ball. i liked the architectural work they did with the buildings. unusual art statues and objects. The Crystals is HUGE. i wish they could've put more stores though. why upscale brands only? it has a TRAM that can take you to Monte Carlo or Bellagio. or you can just walk it if you're up for some exercise. i'm actually looking forward to staying at the Aria my next trip. hopefully the whole City Center is done the next time i'm back
