LAS VEGAS
The ruling last week that potentially speeds up demolition of the $275 million Harmon Hotel has casino industry observers wondering what CityCenter will develop in the tower's place.
MGM Resorts International, half-owner and manager of the $8.5 billion CityCenter resort complex that includes the Harmon, hasn't offered any clues on what might be developed once the tower is removed. But there are no shortage of theories and ideas about what makes sense for the prime real estate on the Las Vegas Strip at the northeastern end of CityCenter.
The two concepts most bandied about so far involve either another hotel-condominium project or an entertainment complex that could include restaurants and bars and be designed to draw pedestrian traffic deeper into CityCenter and its flagship Aria.
