Cranes are coming down, buildings are near completion, and CityCenter is preparing for its opening to the world in the middle of next month. The newest set of MGM corporate photos shows breathtaking aerial views of its city taking final shape.

The Aria Resort & Casino, the Vdara Condo Hotel and the luxurious Mandarin Oriental hotel are now all standing at their final height, along with the uniquely shaped rooftop of the Crystals retail arcade nearing completion.

Other features also heading into the final weeks before opening include Cirque du Soleil’s Elvis Theater and the new CityCenter tram. (Please ignore the "click to enlarge" on the photos -- that’s how the photos were submitted to us.)
