Aria at CityCenter

Description

With an aura of minimalism, Aria stands tall as a hip resort in the heart of both the Las Vegas Strip and the incredible CityCenter urban complex. Sophisticated and chic, it sports a design that spans modern architecture, but also is environmentally thoughtful. In fact, the U.S. Green Building Council has awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design's Gold certification to Aria’s hotel tower, convention center and theater.
Embodying the excitement of the Entertainment Capital of the World, the resort is packed with hot hangouts -- so many that you'll have trouble deciding where to go first. The colossal Haze Nightclub is among the city's top nightspots. A 25,000-square-foot facility, it boasts plush décor elements complemented by a high-tech atmosphere (imagine state-of-the-art sound and interactive projection screens). The Deuce Lounge, on the other hand, has a more intimate setting being tucked off the casino floor. In addition to providing high-stakes gaming tables, you'll discover a rich, refined ambiance akin to an old English club here. And, like chilled-out cousins, Bar Moderno, City Bar and View Bar all offer wonderfully crafted cocktails and contemporary furnishings -- but with a laid-back vibe.
Several celebrity chefs have come to Aria to open restaurants that serve creative, mouth-watering cuisine. American Fish by Michael Mina focuses on fresh seafood sourced from America’s lakes, rivers and coastal areas. Designed by chef Masa Takayama, Bar Masa has an interior inspired by natural elements. It remarkably transforms an industrial, airy space into a serene dining experience. Of course, the modern Japanese delicacies on the menu are unforgettable as well. In Jean Georges Steakhouse, by award-winning chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, meat is king and seafood is queen. From the perfectly prepared steaks to the lobster bisque, your taste buds will be crying out with joy and admiration. The small plates at Julian Serrano, the artisanal meats at Sage from chef Shawn McClain and the Tuscan-style selections at Sirio Ristorante by chefs Sirio and Mario Maccioni round out the extraordinary collection of gourmet venues in Aria.
For a casual bite, guests can head to Café Vettro, which has tranquil surroundings created from hundreds of stacked stones set in frosted glass. The Buffet, positioned beneath a cloud-like ceiling of rising and falling fabrics, dishes up breakfast, lunch, dinner daily as well as brunch from Thursday to Sunday. Masterfully prepared sweets -- including decadent chocolate molded into every form imaginable -- are available at the Jean Philippe Pâtisserie. Guests can also enjoy old-fashioned ice cream, sorbet and gelato in the colorful Sweet Chill, which feels as if it belongs on the Candy Land game board.
Paying tribute to the city's most iconic entertainer, Elvis Presley, Aria is home to the Cirque du Soleil production "Viva Elvis" (which will close Aug. 18). Fusing dance, much-loved soundtracks and acrobatics, the whimsical show takes audiences on an emotional journey that is sure to leave you praising of the life and times of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. Along with purchasing all things Elvis from the Viva Elvis Official Store, you can step into the GOLD Nightclub and Lounge, where a portrait of Presley hangs amid the swanky black and gold décor inspired by Graceland. On Oct. 18, Cirque du Soleil will begin previews for its popular rock opera "Zarkana."

Open during the warmer months, Aria has three pools spread across a 215,000-square-foot deck laden with palm trees and lush landscaping. Guests can also sunbathe in a party-like ambiance at the Liquid Pool Lounge. Along with great music spun by DJs and luxurious private cabanas and daybeds, you can indulge in refreshing cocktails from multiple bars and a mouth-watering menu from chef Brian Massie.
