Amidst problems with high-end properties throughout Las Vegas, the poshest of them all, the south Strip-located CityCenter complex, continues to roll toward a late-2009 debut. Crystals, CityCenter’s half-million-square-foot mall, is set to open on December 3. The shops on the roster include Cartier, Prada, Christian Dior, Bulgari, Hermes, Versace, Louis Vuitton, and Tiffany, along with Las Vegas first-timers Tom Ford, Assouline, Kiton, Miu Miu, Paul Smith, and Porsche Design. Opening a day later on December 4 is the 47-story Mandarin Oriental. Positioned at the entrance to CityCenter, this non-casino hotel’s Sky Lobby and check-in area are on the 23rd floor, with a panoramic view of the Strip. The Mandarin has 392 rooms and suites and 227 residences; the Sky Lobby separates the hotel rooms (below) and the residences (above). The Mandarin Las Vegas will begin accepting room reservations on August 17. Other parts of CityCenter, including an Elvis-themed Cirque du Soleil show, will open in 2010.

 
November Nine: The final-table players in the World Series of Poker’s Main Event have been determined.

Last in the field is James Akenhead with 7 million. Perhaps the world’s top player, Phil Ivey, sits in 7th with 10 million. The players will reconvene for the final table on November 7.
