The new CityCenter development in Las Vegas is set to see an additional 5,900 hotel rooms being offered to tourists on the Las Vegas Strip, along with another huge casino.
The centrepiece of the project is the 4,004-room Aria Resort and Casino which is set to open in a couple of weeks time. This seems strange considering visitor numbers have dropped and hotel rooms are 25 per cent cheaper compared to this time last year.
The billionaire owner of the Treasure Island Casino, Phil Ruffin, said:
“We wish them all the success in the world because it would help the whole city of Las Vegas, but I can’t think of a worse time to open up 7,000 rooms.”
