CRYSTALS RETAIL AND ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT EMBODIES DYNAMIC SENSE OF PLACE AT CITYCENTER’S CORE

World’s Most Celebrated Retailers and Unique Dining Concepts,
Enveloped in a Spectacular Setting, Redefines Traditional Shopping Experience

At the core of every great city is a dynamic public square. Within CityCenter, Crystals is just that. As the front door experience to this unprecedented urban metropolis, Crystals’ winding pathways, extraordinary features and vibrant design elements evoke a sense of exploration and discovery. This magnificent gathering place welcomes guests on a journey through couture, cuisine and entertainment as they enjoy a unique sense of place at the heart of the world-famous Strip.

An architectural movement of sheer energy, Crystals’ interactive atmosphere invites guests to be part of the excitement. The exterior architecture, conceived by Studio Daniel Libeskind*, is a multi-faceted, brilliant glass canopy depicting the intricate beauty of a quartz crystal that welcomes an abundance of natural light into the stunning three-level experiential environment. Within, David Rockwell and Rockwell Group have created an abstract 21st century park that celebrates nature and seasons, featuring “changeable artwork” in the way of hanging gardens, a flower carpet and more.

Throughout Crystals, guests are intrigued by multiple landmarks such as a three-story sculptural treehouse, a striking staircase inspired by Rome’s Spanish Steps and cutting-edge ice and water sculptures. Glacia continuously debuts new shapes and patterns as ice rises from a pool of water, and Halo materializes a series of water vortices within clear cylinders. Around every turn awaits a remarkable experience.

At the very soul of Crystals is the incredible customer service delivered by the Concierge, who serve as fashion consultants, personal shoppers and more. Whether securing the best table at one of Crystals’ dynamic restaurants; reserving tickets to CityCenter’s hip-swiveling production, Viva ELVISTM by Cirque du Soleil®; or selecting the season’s hottest items, the Concierge at Crystals deliver a level of personalized service that sets a new benchmark in the retail industry.

CityCenter is one of the world’s largest environmentally sustainable urban communities. Crystals has received LEED® Gold Core & Shell certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, making it the world’s largest retail district to receive this level of recognition. In addition to Crystals, ARIA Resort’s hotel tower, ARIA’s convention and theater, Vdara Hotel & Spa, Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas and Veer Towers have received LEED Gold certification.
