Mission of the project
ARIA Resort and Casino is a world-class hotel, resort, and casino located in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. ARIA is one of the most prestigious and luxurious resorts in the world, offering a unique blend of upscale accommodations, fine dining, and high-end entertainment. The construction of ARIA took several years and involved a complex process that required the coordination of numerous contractors, architects, and engineers. This paper provides a detailed overview of the process of building ARIA, from the initial planning stages to the final construction and opening.
Background
ARIA Resort and Casino is part of the CityCenter complex, which is a multi-billion dollar project that spans over 67 acres of land on the Las Vegas Strip. The project was developed by MGM Resorts International and Infinity World Development Corp, a subsidiary of Dubai World. CityCenter is the largest privately funded construction project in the United States, and it is one of the most significant developments in Las Vegas in recent years.
Planning and Design
The planning and design of ARIA Resort and Casino took several years and involved a team of architects, engineers, and designers. The project was led by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, which is an internationally renowned architectural firm. The firm was responsible for designing the iconic building that serves as the centerpiece of ARIA.
The building's design is unique and inspired by the desert landscape of Las Vegas. The architects used sustainable design principles, such as passive solar shading and efficient energy systems, to reduce the building's environmental impact. The building's exterior is clad in glass and steel, which gives it a modern and sleek appearance. The interior of the building is just as impressive, with high ceilings, natural light, and spacious public areas.
Construction
The construction of ARIA Resort and Casino began in 2006 and took approximately five years to complete. The project involved thousands of workers and required the use of advanced construction techniques and equipment.
The first phase of the construction process involved excavation and foundation work. The contractors had to excavate over 2 million cubic yards of earth and rock to make way for the building's foundation. The foundation work took approximately one year to complete and required the installation of over 200 piles that went as deep as 200 feet into the ground.
Once the foundation was complete, the contractors began work on the superstructure. The superstructure is the steel frame of the building that supports the floors and walls. The construction team used a technique called "jump-forming" to construct the superstructure. Jump-forming is a method that involves building the structure one floor at a time using a system of hydraulic jacks and steel forms. This technique allowed the contractors to build the superstructure quickly and efficiently.
As the superstructure was being built, the contractors began work on the building's interior. The interior work involved the installation of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, as well as the finishing work, such as drywall, paint, and flooring. The interior work took several years to complete and involved a team of thousands of workers.
One of the most challenging aspects of the construction process was the installation of the building's exterior cladding. The cladding is made up of over 13,000 glass panels that were custom-made for the project. Each panel had to be carefully installed to ensure that it was aligned and properly sealed. The installation of the cladding took several months and involved a team of skilled workers.
Opening
ARIA Resort and Casino opened its doors to the public on December 16, 2009. The opening was a highly anticipated event, and it attracted thousands of visitors from around the world. The opening ceremony included a gala dinner, live entertainment, and a fireworks display.
The opening of ARIA was a significant milestone for MGM Resorts International and the CityCenter project.
