<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase;">CityCenter’s ARIA Resort & Casino Delivers Year-Round Eco-Friendly Indulgence, No Sacrifices </span></div>
LAS VEGAS – April 22, 2010 – Vacationers are beginning to realize that green choices are not just for Earth Day, but for every day. A recent national survey by Travelzoo® found that 91 percent of travelers would prefer to stay at an eco-certified hotel if they didn’t have to sacrifice amenities or experience. Interestingly, the rare combination of environmental responsibility within a magnificent luxury getaway does exist in the unlikeliest of places: <b>Sin City</b>. <br />
<br />
ARIA Resort & Casino at CityCenter, one of only 40 LEED® certified hotels across the globe and the largest LEED Gold resort in existence, delivers the excitement and indulgence for which the city is renowned while bringing a new level of environmental awareness to the world-famous Strip. The resort was recently named the U.S. winner of Hospitality Design’s 2010 Earth-Minded Awards for Hospitality, heralded for its innovative green technology and sustainable design. <br />
<br />
ARIA debuted in December 2009 as part of CityCenter, a dazzling urban resort destination adjacent to Bellagio. ARIA features an extraordinary collection of exceptional restaurants, high-energy nightlife, a world-class spa, exclusive fashion-forward shopping, contemporary gaming, a larger-than-life modern art collection, high-tech meeting and event space, and Viva ELVIS™ by Cirque du Soleil®, celebrating the life and music of Elvis Presley. CityCenter is one of the world’s largest private sustainable developments. <br />
<br />
<b>Key Sustainable Highlights</b>:<br />
</span>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>Ride in Style</b>. ARIA features the world’s first fleet of stretch limos powered by clean-burning compressed natural gas (CNG); preferred parking for alternative-fuel vehicles; and the electric CityCenter Tram, connecting to five resorts and a retail district on the west side of Las Vegas Boulevard.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>Win Green, Go Green</b>. ARIA’s casino features energy-efficient slot machines with innovative bases that double as air-handling units, efficiently cooling guests from the ground up, rather than wasting energy by cooling empty space from the ceiling.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>Worldly Cuisine, Locally Sourced</b>. Many of ARIA’s acclaimed restaurants buy produce, meat and dairy direct from responsible local sources. Organic ingredients, numerous gourmet vegetarian options and biodynamic wines abound.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>Good for the Soul, Good for the Sole.</b> ARIA is the only Nevada hotel participating in ReCORK, a wine cork recycling program. In partnership with SOLE, ReCORK repurposes corks into footwear products. The program’s goal is to educate audiences about the crucial role cork forests play in curbing climate change.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>Organic Indulgence</b>. The Spa at ARIA transports guests to a state of rejuvenation with multiple organic therapies designed to balance, ease and enhance.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>Stylish and Sustainable</b>. Sensual and sophisticated, ARIA’s contemporary guestrooms and suites may look deliciously sinful, but they incorporate only certified wood taken from forests with responsible management practices. Low VOC paints and sustainable certified carpet ensure the highest indoor air quality.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>Eco Art</b>. CityCenter’s eco-friendly practices carry through to pieces in its museum-worthy public Fine Art Collection. Maya Lin's “Silver River,” an 84-foot cast of the Colorado River, uses reclaimed silver and pays homage to Nevada's standing as the "Silver State."</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>Seeing Vegas in a New Light</b>. Extensive natural light is showcased in ARIA through expansive glass walls and skylights to reduce energy use.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>On The Strip, Off the Grid.</b> CityCenter features the first energy generation on The Strip through its 8.5-megawatt, natural gas co-generation plant, providing efficient electricity on site (10 percent of overall CityCenter use), reducing emissions and using “waste heat” to provide all domestic hot water at CityCenter, including within its numerous pools. Energy-efficiency initiatives provide a savings equivalent to powering 8,800 households annually.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>Saving Water in the Desert.</b> Gone are the days of unsatisfying showers due to low-flow shower heads. CityCenter worked with manufacturers to invent designer water fixtures that deliver incredibly satisfying, high-pressure showers while using a third less water. At CityCenter, water conservation technology and programs save approximately 40 percent of water within the buildings and 60 percent in outdoor landscaping, for an overall savings of approximately 50 million gallons annually.</span></li>

Art at ARIA</b><br />
</span>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>Maya Lin</b> – Perched high above ARIA’s reception desk against a panoramic window is Lin’s first work of art in Las Vegas: “Silver River,” inspired by the boundaries and topography of the Colorado River as it carves the desert landscape of the United States.

Using spiraling steel, Gormley aims not only to represent the silhouette of the human body but to visually convey the physical space it occupies; a still place at the center of an orbiting energy field.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>Henry Moore</b> – In The Park between ARIA and Crystals, guests happen upon “Reclining Connected Forms,” 1969-1974, a sculpture by English artist Henry Moore, one of the most celebrated sculptors of his time.
