Bill McBeath, president and COO, Aria Resort, left and Jim Murren, CEO of MGM-Mirage, greet Vdara hotel staff at the opening today. This is the first hotel to open at CityCenter.

When the nearly 1,500-room nongaming Vdara hotel & spa welcomes its first paying customers late tonight, the $8.5 billion CityCenter development moves into its operation mode.

The Strip project will open in phases this month after more than five years of development and construction. The 500,000-square-foot Crystals opens Thursday, and the 392-room Mandarin Oriental opens to customers Saturday. Aria, CityCenter's centerpiece 4,004-room hotel-casino, opens Dec. 16.
