Jim Murren, the chief executive of MGM Mirage (MGM) and the driving force behind the massive $8 billion-plus mixed-use project, is calmly confident that not only will CityCenter boost his company's vacillating fortunes but it also will give the whole area a lift.

Published: 2009-11-23 15:14:31When the space-age planned community of Century City displaced much of 20th Century Fox's backlot in the 1960s, the centerpiece of the office, retail and residential complex was an elegantly curved luxury hotel designed by a rising architect named Minoru Yamasaki.
