   In the early fifties there was a small row of stores on the east side of the strip just south of the Desert Inn. At the time those shops alone comprised the Las Vegas Strip retail offerings.

   More stores chasing the same declining dollars from fewer and fewer visitors. This means unemployment for the many in hopes of capturing a couple of high price sales to the few.

   Lets hope the economy turns by the end of the year! I have my doubts.

   No mention of Apple? Supposedly they're going right on the corner of LVBS and Harmon - 20,000 sq ft. Though I don't know why'd they want drunken touristas with margaritas around their necks in the store with all that expensive computer equipment.

   at least there isn't another bebe going in there. bebe is the starbucks for clothing retailers.

   i think i saw a bebe store inside a starbucks...that was inside a walgreens.

   ahh...i would write all these businesses down on a piece of paper and see how many are actually open on dec. 3rd.

   the super rich are still rich, and the rich are now upper middle class.

   the upper middle class has no interest in buying $500 shoes at prada.

   I hear that there will also be a Superpawn shop and a Payday loan. Right next to the foreclosure specialists and the bankruptcy lawyer's office.

   Unfortunately I don't think the recession will be over by December. The recovery is at least one or two years away.

   Sounds like some duplication of Forum Shops, Planet Hollywood and the mall on the strip. I hope there's enough buisiness for so many high end outlets so close to each other. Porsche Design used to be in Forum Shops, must not be there anymore. At least that's one store I might actually spend money in. I miss the Franklin Mint outlet at the Las Vegas outlets on the South end of the Strip. Hey mikenyc, you forgot Dollar Tree!

   Wow, who can afford to shop at those stores anymore?

   Must be nice...

    I would guess that these stores are getting discounted, maybe zero rent for a couple of years. Unless they signed up early. Based on our continuing rotten economy, we'll probably soon have mostly nail salons, Asian massages, and chiropractors predominating at City Center in the coming years...

    they need a walmart for the workers and the bankrupt casino owners - more store will close in the near future - I think for two more years - then what? Oh, Lake Mead will dry up. I know you didn't ask me - but they are closing welfare offices - maybe one of those will go into those store spaces when the stores fail.
    You must understand that I am a cheerful optimistic person - but I think the paper should publish the most recent papal encyclical which I understand talks about greed as the roots of much of our current crises. God bless all the people of the world!

    I sense that this project will be renamed as :

    Financial City Center

    Thats because the banking industry will take over the property from MGM Mirage defaulting on the loans and the major banks will move in as their new corporate headquarters location ..... and the property will be known as the new ''Wall Street of the West Coast''

    Just what we need - a bunch of high-end stores that no one can afford to shop at, albeit the 'rich and famous'. Well City Center better get used to having some store manager come in the middle of the night to open the store so the celebrities can do all their shopping in the dead of night (as is their usual protocol) because other than celebrities just who in the holy hell can afford to shop there?

    So basically all these job offerings that City Center is supposedly going to open up will soon enough become just some more people filing unemployment when all these high-end shops fail and start to close. I just hope people looking for jobs there are smart enough to realize they will soon be once again unemployed so maybe it's better to just keep looking elsewhere for a job that offers a chance for some REAL stability. What a joke. NOT

    As a retail worker at the forum shops I can tell you there is a market for high end retail, these are the folks that have the money to spend and are not affected by the economy, high end is a different world with a completely different client, this mall, just as the forum shops will be a success
