This week, Tiffany & Co. announced design details of another soon-to-be-opened store at CityCenter, an urban resort destination under development in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. According to Tiffany & Co., the two-level store will be located on Las Vegas Boulevard in Crystals, CityCenter's 500,000-square-foot retail and entertainment district designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind and Rockwell Group. When completed, CityCenter will exist as a sustainable urban community encompassing 18 million square feet over 67 acres, with luxury residences and hotels, meeting and convention facilities, boutiques, clubs, and restaurants.

Slated for a December opening, the approximately 10,000-square-foot Tiffany & Co. store will feature an 85-foot-high glass facade that is canted slightly over the street and shaped like a diamond. The store's entrance will have polished black granite framing Art Deco-inspired stainless steel doors that will serve as a window to the store's interior, complete with a spiral steel-and-glass staircase and a curved, multi-layered ceiling. A mirrored wall etched with a vertical pattern of pinstripes and another wall covered with an iridescent purple fabric extend the full 85 feet to the store's ceiling. Each step on the crystalline stone-and-glass staircase is lit from beneath, emphasizing the curve of the stairs that shine through the glass facade. Midway on the staircase, a landing offers comfortable seating and a panoramic view of Las Vegas Boulevard.

The store's second level features crystal-covered walls, with bronze-frosted mirrors and designated areas for eyewear, leather accessories, and charms. Other touches include a contemporary chandelier of candlestick shapes in steel and an engagement-ring salon with polished Makore wood and shimmering wall coverings. Additionally, a private sales salon is accessible via a glass bridge that is 10 feet long and hovers 25 feet over the floor below. Bonus: a concierge staff is fluent in Mandarin and other languages.

Featured collections include a Tiffany & Co. charm bar, as well as a limited-edition jewelry collection available exclusively at the new store.

The new CityCenter store will be the jeweler's third in Las Vegas. Tiffany also operates stores in the Shops at Via Bellagio and The Forum Shops at Caesars.
