ARIA Resort & Casino is a luxury hotel, casino and dining destination at 3730 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89158, in the CityCenter district on the central Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, United States of America. Opened in December 2009 as the centerpiece of the CityCenter development, the Pelli Clarke & Partners-designed resort draws travelers for its contemporary architecture, major public-art program, 24-hour casino, destination restaurants, pools, spa and nightlife.
What to Expect at ARIA Resort & Casino
ARIA’s curving glass-and-steel towers make a strong visual break from themed Strip resorts. Inside, the lobby and public corridors are part of the ARIA Fine Art Collection, a self-guided encounter with large-scale contemporary works rather than a conventional museum gallery. Look for Maya Lin’s Silver River, a relief sculpture modeled on the Colorado River, and Nancy Rubins’ suspended aluminum work Big Pleasure Point. The neighboring Shops at Crystals extend the architectural experience with luxury storefronts and dramatic interiors by Daniel Libeskind.
The casino operates around the clock, with slot machines, table games, poker and high-limit areas across a large, polished gaming floor. Off the floor, the resort’s signature experiences range from dinner at Carbone, Din Tai Fung, CATCH, Javier’s or Jean Georges Steakhouse to cocktails and late-night dancing at JEWEL Nightclub. Hotel guests have access to the pool complex, including three outdoor pools, cabanas and the adults-only LIQUID Pool Lounge; the Spa & Salon at ARIA offers treatment rooms, salon services and thermal facilities.
- ARIA Fine Art Collection: Free-to-view public installations include Maya Lin’s Colorado River-inspired Silver River and works integrated into lobby-level spaces.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
For a quieter look at the lobby art and an easier restaurant check-in, arrive in late morning or early afternoon on a weekday. Casino activity builds through the evening, particularly Friday and Saturday. Reserve marquee restaurants well ahead, especially Carbone and Din Tai Fung, and check the official ARIA entertainment page for JEWEL schedules and ticket requirements. Public access to the pools is limited, so confirm daybed, cabana or guest-access rules before planning a pool visit.
The free ARIA Express Tram links ARIA’s Shops at Crystals station with Park MGM and Bellagio, making it useful for avoiding part of the Strip walk. Drivers can follow CityCenter signs to ARIA self-parking or valet; parking charges and availability can change by date. The resort has step-free entrances, elevators, accessible guest accommodations and accessible parking, while the casino and principal public corridors are generally broad and level for wheelchairs and strollers. Within a 5–15 minute walk, pair ARIA with luxury shopping at The Shops at Crystals, the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens and fountains, or Park MGM’s Eataly dining hall.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are ARIA Resort & Casino’s hours, and when is the best time to go?
The resort and casino operate 24 hours daily. Visit before dinner for a calmer view of the lobby art and public areas, or after 9 p.m. for the liveliest casino and nightlife atmosphere. Individual restaurants, pools, the spa and JEWEL keep separate hours.
Is there an admission fee or do I need reservations?
There is no admission fee to enter ARIA, view publicly accessible art or walk through the casino. Reserve dining in advance, particularly for Carbone and Din Tai Fung. JEWEL events, spa treatments, cabanas and hotel rooms require paid bookings; gambling is for guests age 21 and over.
How much time should I budget for ARIA?
Allow about three to four hours for a meal, a self-guided art walk and casino time. A spa appointment, pool reservation, shopping stop at Crystals or a nightlife plan can easily turn ARIA into a half-day or full-evening visit.
Is ARIA suitable for families and wheelchair users?
Families can use the hotel, restaurants, public art areas and age-appropriate dining venues, but the casino floor and gambling are restricted to those 21 and older. Wheelchair users and stroller users can use step-free entries, elevators and wide indoor routes; request an accessible room or specific assistance directly from ARIA when reserving.
