Dec 1-5 in the City

I started my first day of training on Tuesday and it's been a little chaotic trying to adjust to the new schedule. I haven't had much time to hop on and blog, so I thought that while I had a minute I would give a brief overview of what's been happening at work.


The first day of orientation we got to tour the casino and restaurants. I couldn't believe that in one day we saw less than half of the hotel- it's a little overwhelming. The property is HUGE!!! And beautiful to say the least. Throughout the week each of our sister properties within the City Center have been opening. My property (Aria) is scheduled to open to the public on Dec 16. We won't be full occupancy for the first couple of weeks... and our GRAND OPENING will be New Years Eve. I haven't really had time to watch TV or hop online, but there's no way that you can avoid hearing about the City Center right now. It's a big deal and certainly the talk of the town!

Crystals is our shopping venue at City Center. They feature shops like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., and Roberto Cavalli. Eva Longoria-Parker has her own restaurant there called Beso.

We got to tour our hotel rooms on Wednesday and they are not only gorgeous, but they feature state of the art technology- it's mind blowing! The panoramic views from the suites gave me goosebumps! Before we started I seen all of the computer generated images of the hotel and to see them in real life is absolutely incredible.
