MGM Resorts Holds A Presidents Day Fire Sale!

It seems the fine folks at CityCenter are ready to unload a whole bunch of damaged or excess, well, crap. I spotted this tiny ad in today's paper, and it turns out the sale is 11 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 21, at this website.

As the notice indicates, the auction is mainly a sale of various pieces of room furnishings and hardware that were intended or have been deployed at Aria, Vdara, Mandarin Oriental or Veer. It's a Web-only event in every way, including that there's no opportunity for any on-site inspection of merchandise.

There are 1,076 lots, and you can review them here although there's no suggested auction minimum prices listed in the catalog. There's stuff like this 65-by-38-by-20-inch tub...


...or several of these 56-by-32-by-30-inch chaise lounges...


...or perhaps this 10-inch chrome, lighted, 3x-magnification vanity mirror with "no mounting hardware":


I can't imagine why this design didn't work out...


...or what good a broken mirror would be to anyone...


...or what the charm would be in buying these chairs for which "fabric needs to be cleaned, one chair has tear, one has cigarette burn."


I honestly have no clue what this -- described as an "e-tray" -- is:


But the thing I truly, truly cannot live without, is...


...a "Kirin Dragon." That beaut there is a 7.5-foot-tall fiberglass statue. I can't imagine where it was supposed to go or why, with this on hand, they threw that crappy Henry Moore into the pocket park.

Obviously, this auction isn't really intended for ordinary people, but it's fun to browse and watch anyway. Nothing, so far as I could tell, had any resort logos or branding anywhere. But if any of you "go" to this and buy something, totally let me know.
