The lounge marks The Light Group’s second collaboration with world-renowned entertainment company Cirque du Soleil (CDS), and is poised to be yet another remarkable hybrid of both parties’ talents. The innovative venue concept is located in the heart of CityCenter— an unprecedented, multi- use urban metropolis between Bellagio and Monte Carlo resorts on the Las Vegas Strip— and brings a unique genre of entertainment to the groundbreaking new community. The GOLD Lounge, a sleek 3,800-square-foot ultra-lounge designed by CDS' creative team and inspired by Elvis Presley’s Graceland, is a destination for those seeking a refuge from the bustling Strip. Its modern décor, exuding sophistication and a sense of rich refinement, was conceptualized to capture the essence of Elvis in a 21st century, sultry design. The interior boasts the same design patterns found within the various rooms of the rock ‘n’ roll legend’s Memphis mansion, and in a nod to Elvis’ passion for horses, a life-sized stallion-shaped lamp welcomes guests at the door. “We are thrilled to be partnering again with Cirque du Soleil,” expressed Andy Masi, Partner & CEO of The Light Group. “The GOLD Lounge is another shining example of what can be produced between Cirque du Soleil’s artistic inspiration and The Light Group’s hospitality know-how.” The GOLD Lounge features a long bar and cluster seating to allow for conversation and social interaction within its glamorous design. The Retro Modern boutique lounge offers ARIA guests the ultimate spot to sip on hand-crafted cocktails and indulge in contemporary American appetizers before Cirque du Soleil’s Viva ELVIS production show. Likewise, it’s an ideal late-night destination to party into the early morning hours while experiencing Las Vegas’ hottest DJs. The GOLD Lounge offers rich history housed within a modern design, and iced with premier service.

  • The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle
    The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle By Stefan Johannes Al A dissertation submitted in the partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Professor Greig Crysler Professor Ananya Roy Professor Michael Southworth Fall 2010 The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle © 2010 by Stefan Johannes Al Abstract The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle by Stefan Johannes Al Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Over the past 70 years, various actors have dramatically reconfigured the Las Vegas Strip in many forms. I claim that behind the Strip’s “reinventions” lies a process of symbolic destruction. Since resorts distinguish themselves symbolically, each new round of capital accumulation relies on the destruction of symbolic capital of existing resorts. A new resort either ups the language within a paradigm, or causes a paradigm shift, which devalues the previous resorts even further. This is why, in the context of the Strip, buildings have such a short lifespan. This dissertation is chronologically structured around the four building booms of new resort construction that occurred on the Strip. Historically, there are periodic waves of new casino resort constructions with continuous upgrades and renovation projects in between. They have been successively theorized as suburbanization, corporatization, Disneyfication, and global branding. Each building boom either conforms to a single paradigm or witnesses a paradigm shift halfway: these paradigms have been theorized as Wild West, Los Angeles Cool, Pop City, Corporate Modern, Disneyland, Sim City, and Starchitecture.

Since the very beginning of One Drop, we have strived to create programs that would be innovative and sustainable. When it comes to raising funds, we follow the same approach. Of course, none of this would happen if it wasn’t for the amazingly talented performers and volunteers of Cirque du Soleil and MGM Resorts International, who tirelessly take on this project year after year with the same excitement and spirit as they did from the beginning. And I thank you, our guests, who continue to fly in from all over the world to support us, as well as the committed Las Vegas community, which has truly embraced Cirque du Soleil, One Drop and this global philanthropy event. I’m excited that you are joining me so we can continue to work together to share knowledge, efforts, and dreams as well as human, material and financial resources. We will continue to take on this challenge so we can get closer each day to our goal to provide access to safe water for each and every person on our planet.

Our goal is to build a global portfolio of highly-attractive lifestyle boutique hotels that measures up to the expectations of our guests. By leveraging our exceptional brands, developing outstanding properties in high-demand markets, and delivering exceptional guest experiences, we are committed to bringing the best of our heritage into a new era for Morgans.

Strengthened Our Balance Sheet Our first priority was to solidify and strengthen our balance sheet. During the year we reduced our consolidated debt by approximately $232 million resulting in a much stronger foundation for growth. We sold three of our owned hotels as well as our two London joint venture hotels and we also refinanced the mortgage debt on Hudson, thereby addressing all near-term consolidated debt maturities. Our next consolidated debt maturity is our convertible notes due in 2014, and we plan to be proactive in continuing to address maturities and strengthen our balance sheet.
