LAS VEGAS-With 25 months to go before the scheduled opening of its $7.4-billion mixed-use development on the Las Vegas Strip, MGM Mirage has begun setting the table for CityCenter. The casino operator announced several major personnel shifts at its resorts that it says are integral to the success of the new mini-city under construction across from its MGM Grand Hotel & Casino.

Scheduled to open in November 2009, CityCenter includes a 4,000-room resort casino, 2,650 condominiums in multiple towers, two 400-room non-gaming hotels and 470,000 sf of retail and entertainment space. In August, MGM Mirage sold a 50% stake in the development for $2.7 billion to Dubai World, a conglomerate responsible for the Atlantis developments and the Palm and World developments off the coast of Dubai.

Bill McBeath, president of the Bellagio since early 2005, is now the president of the 4,000-room casino-resort under construction at CityCenter. McBeath also will oversee one of the planned 400-room non-gaming hotels, the Vdara Condo Hotel. Prior to the Bellagio, McBeath was president and COO of the Mirage.
