'The Capital of the New World' Gets a New Website

CityCenter is coming! CityCenter is coming!

Christmas will come early for Vegas with the opening of CityCenter on December 1 when Vdara Resort and Casino opens. The invites for the opening of The Crystals and the two-day opening extravaganza for everything else have been mailed out, opened and Twittered about. Right now, the Vegas glitterati are just simply wondering what to wear to the ball.

But do not think for a second that CityCenter is going to sit back and wait for guests to roll in. Hence the new CityCenter website--www.citycenter.com--and it's full motion 3D video which gives those curious and clueless an in-depth look at what to expect.

We gave the site a whirl just a few minutes ago. It starts off with an aerial zoom along the Strip before turning into CityCenter. There it pauses and you have the option of selecting which building you would like to know more about. Selecting a building brings up a trading card sort of image with the pertinent stats of the hotel and a direct link to their individual websites.

The site is easy to navigate as well as fun. More importantly, it works and works well. But we're still way more excited to see CityCenter in person. After all, this is supposed to be "The Capital of the New World."

Totally random thought: What is Steve Wynn up to right now?
