LAS VEGAS, Nev. — When Al Gore, T. Boone Pickens, Steve Chu, Van Jones and Wesley Clark hit town next week for the National Clean Energy Summit, Las Vegas CityCenter developers hope to showcase their sweeping 18-million-square-foot, $8.5 billion project as the greenest thing on the Strip since felt.
 
Developers took the opportunity yesterday to detail the environmentally friendly attributes of the project. It stretches from the Monte Carlo to the Bellagio properties and features an 8.5 megawatt natural gas cogeneration plant that’s expected to provide 10 percent of the electricity and heat the hot water for the complex.

“Sustainability was a focus of the project from the very, very beginning,” said a representative for the development.
The project is a joint venture between the MGM Mirage and Infinity World Development Corps., which is a subsidiary of Dubai World, the company that manages the global investments for the emirate.
The site is to include a 61-story, 4,004-room gaming resort called the Aria; two non-gaming luxury hotels, the Vdara and the Mandarin Oriental; the Veer Towers residential building and a 500,000-square-foot retail and entertainment area called Crystals — which are scheduled to open later this year. A 400-room luxury boutique hotel, the Harmon is scheduled to open in late 2010.
