In recent years, rooms have gotten more channels, pay-per-view and Internet access.

Buyers of CityCenter condos, grumbling about the drop in real estate values and other concerns, say MGM Mirage officials who were previously reluctant to discuss the issues are now reaching out to them.

For CityCenter’s nongaming Mandarin Oriental, service is ‘be-all, end-all’
Guest experience to start with ride to 23rd-floor ‘sky lobby,’ greeting by name

Employees at the Mandarin Oriental hotel, which opens Dec. 4 at CityCenter, are not allowed to point. They must escort guests to their destination rather than simply signaling or telling them how to get there. This small detail is one of many that Mandarin Oriental executives hope will set a new standard for service in Las Vegas. Customers who walk into the receiving lobby off the Strip will be escorted to the main lobby on the 23rd floor, where they will be greeted by name.
