MGM City Center Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada



MGM City Center Las Vegas will be a new urban core in the heart of the Las Vegas strip – a city within a city – visionary in concept – futuristic in design – complete with its own convention center, theater, police, and fire stations.


Set to face the strip along a quarter-mile stretch, the $7 billion City Center project will include 2,800 residential condo units, 66 acres of cafes, and two 400-room boutique hotels that will be on either side of a boulevard built to the exact dimensions of New York's Park Avenue.


At its center, this city-within-a-city the size of Manhattan's SoHo will have a 4000-room hotel/casino designed by Cesar Pelli (world-renown architect of Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Towers).


The most expensive private project ever, the MGM City Center is set to transform the strip and Las Vegas. With shopping, dining, and entertainment, the


City Center is designed for residents who will call it their home. SDS Team is providing construction documents support for the 4000-room hotel/casino designed by Cesar Pelli as a part of a multinational team of architectural companies

Building Information Modeling



SDS Architecture completely implemented BIM technology in 2013.


Our latest projects were developed using Revit Architecture, NavisWorks and extend beyond 3D, augmenting the three primary spatial dimensions (width, height, and depth) with time as the fourth dimension (4D) and cost as the fifth (5D), etc.


BIM covers more than just geometry. It also covers spatial relationships, light analysis, geographic information, and quantities and properties of building components (i. e. manufacturers' details).


This is THE industry where Grey Hairs (architects who've had hands-on construction experience, so they know how a building goes together) AND Hot Shots (those savvy with the software) are absolutely essential (working TOGETHER) for a project to have any chance of success!


Remember, this is VIRTUAL BUILDING - book learnin' is only a small part of it.
