Re: [vpFREE] MGM City Center and Aria--VPO

Sorry, but I have to disagree.

After visiting Aria on opening night, I really like the whole vibe
and architectural ambience of Aria and City Centre. It feels very
modern and urban to me, which is something I feel, as a resident, is
very lacking in this town.

And, like it or not, I believe that we'll see more and more like it
in Las Vegas once the economy turns around. Remember, plans for
Echelon didn't look much different in terms of aesthetics. I can't
wait to see more of it!

Fortunately for you, there is still something for everyone in this
town, and you can stay at the Wynn and not even lay eyes on City
Centre, if that's your preference. ;-)

Cheers.
