Starchitects Unite!
Vegas' CityCenter, designed by a handful of notable architects, may be Vegas' first walkable, urban development, complete with LEED Gold Certification.

The first three buildings--Vdara, Crystals, and the Mandarin Oriental--all open this week, so here's a look at all the design contributions that will make CityCenter a jackpot of contemporary architecture."
