Flipchip was out on the Las Vegas strip on Monday evening to record an update of the massive CityCenter construction project scheduled to open the first phase in late 2009. Even with the free falling national economy the mega-resort continues towards completion. While the Boyd Gaming Group’s shuttered $5 billion Echelon project has become a study in rusting rebar sticking out of crumbling concrete, the $9.2 billion CityCenter is a shining beacon confidently lighting the way to a bright future for Las Vegas.
