State regulators approve Aria's gaming license
The Nevada Gaming Commission regulators have granted a casino license for the new Aria Hotel and Casino, which is set to make its debut at the $8.5 billion CityCenter complex on the Las Vegas Strip on December 16th.
The gaming license was unanimously approved by members of the Nevada Gaming Commission during a special meeting held last Thursday in Las Vegas.
According to Associated Press, the state agency found that both MGM Mirage and project partner Dubai World, meet all the requirements to manage CityCenter, which is set to open the first stage of the project next month. During the two-hour hearing, the state's regulators questioned executives about their finances, the casino operations and the business relationship between the two partners.
In addition to Aria's gaming license, CityCenter also earned its fifth and sixth LEED Gold ratings this week with the certification of Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas and Veer Towers. The accomplishment marks the highest LEED achievement by any hotel, retail district or residential development in Las Vegas, making the 18-million-square-foot district the largest sustainable commercial project in the world. CityCenter's previous LEED Gold awards include ARIA Resort's hotel tower, ARIA's convention center and theater, Vdara Hotel & Spa and Crystals.
