Under a canopy of fireworks illuminating the night sky, ARIA Resort & Casino opened its doors this week. Located at the heart of CityCenter, the 4,004-room gaming resort—comprising two curvilinear steel and glass towers designed by architectural firm Pelli Clarke Pelli—serves as the development’s centerpiece. Its debut marks the official grand opening of this city-within-a-city, following two weeks of celebrations for the reveals of Vdara Hotel & Spa, Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas, and Crystals retail and entertainment district.
"ARIA and CityCenter reflect a combination of innovation, energy, and visionary design that we believe will reshape how the world views the destination resort experience and attract visitors from around the globe as a landmark of taste and style," says Jim Murren, chairman and CEO of MGM Mirage, which developed CityCenter in partnership with Infinity World Development Corp.
ARIA features an expansive array of restaurants, including Bar Masa, Sage, Julian Serrano, American Fish, Sirio Ristorante, Jean Georges Steakhouse, Union, Blossom, Lemongrass, and Jean Philippe Patisserie. For details on the resort’s F& B venues, click here.
