New in Las Vegas: An Eco-Chic Boutique Hotel Called The Harmon

The Las Vegas Strip will soon have another striking addition: a 47-storey, all-glass tower. The Harmon, billed as one of the tallest buildings on this fabled boulevard, will open in November 2009, serving as the gateway to the 76-acre CityCenter urban resort destination (between Bellagio and Monte Carlo). A non-gaming hotel, The Harmon hopes to up the luxury quotient in a town big on over-the-top indulgence. It's all about privilege, with private guest-only access and discreet, tailored service offered to each guest. The guest rooms and suites will be outfitted with every possible contemporary luxury: rain-head showers, gourmet kitchens, plush bedding. Guests will delight in yummy eats at Mr. Chow, and the private cabanas on the tropical pool deck. There will be a state-of-the-art fitness center and spa, to boot.
