CityCenter raises fears, optimism | lvrj.com

On Saturday, I walked from Mandalay Bay to the Wynn, interviewing employees at hotels -- people who work on their feet -- asking them an open-ended question: "What do you think of CityCenter?" Every worker expressed hope that the MGM Mirage-owned property, which opens its first hotel, Vdara, on Tuesday, succeeds. "None of us can afford to think anything else" during hard times, said a worker in a high-end, Harrah's-based retail store.
