Casino at CityCenter
Las Vegas' Premier Hospitality Group Adds to Extensive Portfolio with Four New
Venues at Landmark Urban Resort Destination in 2009

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading hospitality development and
management company, The Light Group, announced today its plans to unveil four
innovative concepts at the groundbreaking ARIA Resort & Casino at CityCenter
upon its opening in December 2009. The new lineup, consisting of a nightclub,
a lounge, a restaurant and a pool lounge, follows the successful formulas of
existing Light Group destinations, while once again raising the bar on Sin
City's hospitality offerings. Each venue is designed to reflect the grandeur
and opulence of CityCenter, the unparalleled urban resort destination underway
on the Las Vegas Strip between Bellagio and Monte Carlo.

"We are thrilled be part of CityCenter and ARIA Resort & Casino," expressed
Andy Masi, Partner & CEO of The Light Group. "Our new collection at this
groundbreaking project will perfectly complement our existing venues while
changing the landscape of Las Vegas' hospitality scene," added Masi.

Expanding its portfolio of successful dining establishments, The Light Group
will unveil Union Restaurant & Lounge, serving a creative and playful dinner
menu featuring contemporary American cuisine. Executive Chef Brian Massie will
offer unique interpretations of American favorites in a cutting-edge
environment that enhances the culinary experience. Located in the epicenter
of the resort's casino floor, Union's unique interiors, by renowned designer
Adam Tihany, will allow guests to enjoy a meal within a hip and open layout. A
series of strategically positioned floor-to-ceiling architectural "trees",
bathed in natural tones, give the open space a greater sense of seclusion and
intimacy. At Union, diners will enjoy the action and panoramic views of the
casino around them while becoming the center of attention to gamblers looking
on.

The Deuce Lounge, located off the main casino floor, will be an invigorating
destination fusing the elements of an upscale lounge with high-limit gaming,
creating an intimate nightlife experience. Designed by Franklin Studios, the
space will invite its guests to try their luck on the numerous blackjack
tables around the room while enjoying cocktails from an inventive menu,
creating an alternative gambling scene to that of the bustling casino floor.
The lounge also will feature a number of HD flat screen TVs for guests to
watch evening sporting events while enjoying hors d'oeuvres from UNION's
kitchen.

Conceptualized and designed to mirror the success of existing Light Group
venues, Haze Nightclub will be a colossal cutting-edge space in which guests
will be challenged to question their sense of perception and reality. Designed
by award-winning interior design firm, ICRAVE, the nightclub will feature
large hanging props over the entryway that will draw guests to a grand
staircase transporting them to the mezzanine level where they will enjoy a
bird's-eye view of the action below. The main dance floor will peer up at a
wall of interactive projection screens stretching one hundred feet across on a
performance structure where impromptu acts by world-renowned artists will
regularly take place. Suede walls and plush surfaces will help define the
weaving interior, including a unique two-story wall of lights incorporating
the latest in technology coupled with a one-of-a-kind sound system designed by
John Lyons Systems.

Completing the portfolio will be Liquid, the resort's adult-only pool
playground and outdoor refuge, where guests will enjoy poolside pampering and
daytime indulgence. Offering a combination of elements that allow guests to
enjoy Vegas' high-energy lifestyle during the day, Liquid's atmosphere and
vibe is conceptualized to offer the ultimate experience under the Vegas sun.
Opening in spring 2010, the alfresco utopia, designed by Graft Lab, will
feature 17 cabanas providing seclusion, within an already exclusive setting,
as guests enjoy the latest in high-tech amenities. Numerous dipping pools,
featuring underwater speakers, will dominate the space while visitors mingle
and dance to electrifying beats spun by world-class DJs. Multiple bars will
complement personalized chaise lounge and daybed service, also including a
mouthwatering food menu.
