CityCentre Las Vegas marries Organic with Modern

CityCentre Las Vegas Revives Architecture and Brings Fine Art Back to Las Vegas


I recenlty visited Las Vegas, an annual trip for me, my interest this time was taken up by the new CityCentre development beside the grand Bellagio Hotel & Casino on the Vegas Strip. This new development is only about 75% complete, but it already impresses. The architecture is world class and dwarfs the 'adult Disneyworld-like themed' resorts that currently reign on The Strip.

CityCentre is a 'bold' example of what human talent is capable of...with contributions from leading architects & designers; Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, RV Architecture led by Rafael Vinoly, Helmut Jahn, Studio Daniel Libeskind, Rockwell Group, Kohn Pedersen Fox, Foster + Partners & Gensler.


CityCentre will also become the centre for fine art in the city with galleries featuring the 'organic' glass artist Dale Chihuly and Cirque Du Soleil inspired bronze sculptor, Richard MacDonald. Amongst the 5 main structures of CityCentre you will also be inspired and pleasently surprised when you find yourself standing in front of art by Maya Lin, Jenny Holzer, Claes Oldenberg & Coosje van Bruggen, Frank Stella, Richard Long, Nancy Rubins and Henry Moore.
