It's always nice to hear a bit of POSITIVE real estate news about Las Vegas - A but funny it comes from Dallas...

I leave for Las Vegas tomorrow morning to meet a couple of residential and commercial clients over the weekend. I teasingly bringing it up in conversation when out as it inevitably leads to the questions of " how is the market?" or "is anything selling there?" The answer, which is often followed by me presenting much more statistical data and reinforcing support, is yes.

I am fortunate that the broker I work for in Nevada, Coldwell Banker Premier, also happens to be the broker for the most amazing development ever built in North America that, yes (as you will read below), is opening... I will post new construction photos shortly so you can see the continuing progress...

Amid problems with high-end properties throughout Las Vegas, the poshest of them, 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 Dec. 3. Shops on the roster include Cartier, Prada, Christian Dior, Bulgari, Hermès, 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 Dec. 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 Aug. 17.

Other parts of CityCenter, including an Elvis-themed Cirque du Soleil show, will open in 2010.
