Officials for MGM Mirage, which has partnered with Dubai's government investment, fund Dubai World in building the us$ 9.1 billion complex, say the 61-story, 4,000-room Aria Resort & Casino has taken 29 months to build so far.

MGM Mirage says the tower will be fully enclosed by December. In addition to Aria, the 76-acre site is also expected to include boutique hotels, condominiums and a 46,451 sqm retail and entertainment center, reported AP.

Besides, the Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing office in New York is launching a 'crisis control' campaign aimed at boosting the emirate's travel market share in the US in the wake of the collapse of two of Wall Street's most powerful investment banks, The National has reported.

The DTCM will increase advertising in the US to showcase the emirate's attractions, as well as opening another tourism office on the West Coast by the end of the year.
