It’s a big celebration that is quintessentially Las Vegas.
I discovered upon moving here from Southern California in 2005 a casino opening is part birthday party, movie premiere and New Year’s Eve all rolled into one. Locals even have a childlike anticipation as if they’re waiting impatiently to see what they’re going to unwrap on Christmas Day, hoping it’s the shiny new toy they always wanted.
That’s how I looked at it when I attended the December 2009 gala opening of CityCenter’s Aria. It was going to be one of the biggest openings ever in Las Vegas and the place to be.
