MGM Mirage and Dubai World-owned CityCenter, the new $8.5-billion gamble on a 67-acre residential, hotel, retail and entertainment campus in Las Vegas, may reel in visitors with artwork by the likes of Frank Stella, Henry Moore, and Maya Lin. The $40 million modern art collection, which has instantly put CityCenter on the map as one of the world’s largest public installations of corporate-owned art, includes many bold, large-scale works such as Claes Oldenburg's giant eraser.
