Guest Experience
● CityCenter has commissioned the world’s first-ever fleet of CNG stretch limos. The 26 silver, 72-inch Lincoln Town Cars are 100 per cent powered by CNG, one of the cleanest-burning alternative fuels available. The natural gas used by the CNG limo fleet produces significantly lower amounts than gasoline of harmful emissions such as nitrogen oxides (35-60 per cent less); particulate matter (90-97 per cent less); carcinogenic and toxic pollutants such as carbon monoxide (90-97 per cent less); and carbon dioxide (25 per cent less).

● Guests arriving at CityCenter via carpool or in alternative-fuel vehicles will have access to preferred parking spaces; bicycle valet services also will be provided
● The urban community will offer numerous amenities within walking distance of the hotels, including restaurants, stores and entertainment. CityCenter’s people mover will offer convenient transportation between the Monte Carlo, Crystals and Bellagio resorts
● CityCenter’s hotels will feature the most technologically advanced guestrooms in the U.S., using exclusive technology that allows guests to “green their stay.” With a simple setting, guests can indicate their preferred light level and room temperature, and the properties can automatically put a room into unoccupied status upon checkout, turning off the heating/cooling system, televisions, lights and any appliances
● Extensive natural light will be used through skylights and expansive windows at CityCenter to reduce energy use
● Many of the artists participating in CityCenter’s public Fine Art Collection will use reclaimed material in their works of art. For instance, Maya Lin’s silver cast of the Colorado River will incorporate the use of reclaimed silver; CityCenter’s sustainability initiatives inspired her first work of art in Las Vegas. Richard Long’s mud wall drawings will incorporate natural products, Nancy Rubins will construct a gravity-defying display that includes recycled river and ocean vessels, and Isa Genzken’s steel and aluminum rose will be 75 per cent-made of recycled materials.
