The MGM Mirage CityCenter complex, center, stands in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S., on Monday, Dec. 14, 2009. MGM Mirage, the Las Vegas Strip's largest casino owner, is counting on the Dec. 16 grand opening of the $8.5 billion CityCenter resort to mark an end to the city's losing streak and the debt crisis that almost sank the company. Strip gambling is down about 12 percent this year after a record 11 percent drop in 2008. Photographer: Jacob Kepler/Bloomberg
