And Now We Present, The Ten Commandments of CityCenter

Yes, today is the big day. The day when the The Capital of the New World opens and we will be on the scene live reporting from CityCenter as everything unfolds. Follow us on Twitter for real-time updates on what's going on.

Today, The Capital of The New World will finally open and it will change the face of Las Vegas forever. (Though skeptics out there doubt it will save the Las Vegas economy.) But still, this is the biggest thing that has happened to Las Vegas since, well, Las Vegas happened.

CityCenter already sees itself as a pioneer of the new world, setting the example for any other casino-resorts that developers dare to build in Las Vegas or elsewhere.

So if CityCenter is the new God, then we will happily play the role of Moses by passing down the 10 Commandments of CityCenter that all of you should learn and most importantly, obey.

1. CityCenter is the savior of Las Vegas and there shall be no other casino-resort saviors before CityCenter.

2. Thou shall honor Dubai World whose financing made this possible. Even if their government has totally abandoned them.

3. Thou shall not take the name Harmon in vain. The Harmon Hotel and Spa is totally going to open in late 2010 and with a Mr. Chow restaurant inside too!

4. Thou shall not covet another mall. The Crystals will feature stores from Louis Vuitton, Prada, Dior, Bulgari, Tom Ford, Carolina Herrera, Hermes, Roberto Cavalli, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Versace.

5. Thou shall never go hungry. Across the buildings of CityCenter you will find hot tables at even hotter restaurants like Pierre Gagnaire's Twist inside the Mandarin Oriental, Mastro's Ocean Club inside The Crystals and other eateries from chefs Michael Mina, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Julian Serrano, Shawn McClain, Masayoshi Takayama, Martin Heierling, Wolfgang Puck and even Eva Longoria Parker.

6. Thou shall sign up for a players card. While the name is CityCenter, the parent company is MGM Mirage and when you do your gambling at Aria Resort and Casino, you best sign up for a Players Club card so that you can earn yourself some rewards points.

7. Thou shall not step on Blue Suede Shoes. Viva Elvis at Cirque Du Soleil will begin its previews on December 18th and tickets start at $87 a piece.

8. Thou shall not steal. This is Vegas in a tough economy but tbis is also Vegas in a day and age of extremely high-tech security systems. What worked for Danny Ocean on his escapades will not work here.

9. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor which in this case is any non-MGM Mirage property--Caesars Palace, The Palazzo, The Venetian, The Wynn and Encore.

10. Always remember, there's a $15 resort fee at Vdara. Plus tax.
