This post was inspired by Aaron Auxier post:
Siegel, Hughes, Wynn, and Adelson. Each led the Las Vegas Strip into a new direction.
A great reminder that behind today's Las Vegas outstanding presence and glamour there are pioneers who's vision, dedication and determination made possible to put on the map the
world capital of entertainment... And as Aaron pointed out: "The Las Vegas Strip is entering its fourth stage of major development, each stage being led by a single individual." ...
Siegal, Huges, Wynn and Adelson.
In my previous post:
That's the Story of!... That's the Glory of!... The Story Behind Sin City!
I also made an incursion in the history of old Vegas days... Entertainment and gambling built Las Vegas' reputation as a play ground getaway of the world... From
Bugsy Siegel, Liberace, Rat Pack, Frank Sinatra,
Elvis Presley, The Beatles to about every big name in the show business ...
They put Las Vegas on the map and made Las Vegas the world’s most famous city of entertainment.
It isn't Las Vegas' fault, it's the world's fault for not taking Las Vegas
seriously long, long ago.

In this post I like to talk a little about the invisible people who are
behind the scene but who deserve all the credit
for Las Vegas Strip stunning,
exquisite, glamorous, glitzy,
and dazzling display of buildings... None of those visionaries,
developers and investors would be able to bring to light their dreams
without the talent and professional excellency of Architects.
"Las Vegas has an architectural history. You see many of the same
architects and architectural firms decade after decade, carrying on and
enriching ideas, and that too has been ignored by the architectural mainstream."
was said at AIA national convention-May 2005
Can a building be a work of art? Can a city be a work of art? ... YES, of-course it does!!!
Following that line of thought
MGM Mirage City Center will stay tall and bold into the future as an ephitemy of 21st century Architecture.
We can not talk about
MGM Mirage City Center without to mention and honor the talent, creativity and vision of
the architectural concept of a cosmic proportions. Las Vegas is the epicenter of this seismic
phenomena.
