The Aria Resort & Casino, a hotel part of the CityCenter district on the Las Vegas Strip, will expand its convention space.
MGM Resorts will spend $154 million expanding the space to 500,000 square feet from its current 300,000. The new space's top floor will afford views of the Park and Las Vegas Arena, which are both scheduled to open next year.
MGM Resorts will break ground on the project next May and is scheduled to complete the expansion by February 2018.
CityCenter, developed by MGM Resorts and Dubai World, opened in 2009. In addition to the 4,004-room Aria, the district includes the 1,495-room Vdara Hotel & Spa and the 392-room Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas.
