More stories on CityCenter

Many people who walk through the lobby of the Bellagio Hotel and Casino admire and stop to take photos of the Fiori di Como, a three-dimensional glass sculpture of flowers in bloom on the ceiling.

Soon, more work by the artist, Dale Chihuly, will be featured in Las Vegas in the new CityCenter.

Chihuly at CityCenter will have its debut on Dec. 4 within The Gallery area in Crystals retail and entertainment district.

The presentation, spanning 4,350 square feet, will feature a diverse representation of Chihuly's sculptures, drawings, editions and prints.

The exhibition will highlight a number of Chihuly's important works including turquoise reeds and birch logs in the Nuutajarvi Installation, the Lime Green Icicle Tower and an indigo-blue neon sculpture.

The artist's new Silvered Venetian series, marking his first application of silver as a base color, will also be on view. Visitors will also see Chihuly's popular series works, drawings, (both on paper and acrylic) and studio editions, limited edition prints, books and videos.

The gallery is among a collection of luxury retailers and restaurateurs that will be found within Crystals, a 500,000-square-foot retail, dining and entertainment district.

Hours of operation for the Gallery will be from 10 a.m. to midnight daily. For sales information, the Gallery can be reached at 702-590-8741.

You know Las Vegas if you really think about it is a SPECTACULAR CITY! The City Center is a show case in it's self, Theres no reason why the Fountain Bleau won't be either. If Boyd would finish the eshelon that might just fit in too! I think the promoters of Vegas need to fine tune it a little more! We need to promote more the Duce the buss service that services the strip right up to Fremont Street.When people come here they have a tendency to stay close to their Hotels and not want to take the Duce! Why? because they don't know that you can pay 1 price and ride alday! Another thing we need to keep do is keep the STREETs and SIDEWALKS clean! The way we keep our City is a direct reflection to people from other countries how we are as Americans! In China you can see people every morning sweeping the streets.I think we need to take people that have intrests in Las Vegas to offer then a think tank situation where people can perticipate in giveing their ideas to make our City a Jewel in the Desert like it always has been!
