Private Strip redoubt
A dedicated porte-cochere and private elevators whisk guests up to a quiet residential world set high above the casino floor.
What it’s good at
Gold
Private limousine airport transfers, dedicated curbside check-in, and personal concierge and butler service across residential high-floor retreats.
Silver
Japanese Ganbanyoku heated-stone beds, a Shio salt room, and the secluded Sky Pool with dedicated chaise service.
Bronze
Direct access to the casino floor, expansive pool courtyards, and dozens of celebrated Strip dining rooms.
Outside the door
On the central Las Vegas Strip, amid CityCenter dining, nightlife, and casino floors.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Aria’s spa is a standout, both for treatment quality and for the co-ed relaxation areas you actually want to linger in.
The rooms
Residential suites feature blond wood, floor-to-ceiling desert panoramas, bedside automation tablets, and bathrooms fitted with deep soaking tubs and steam showers.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa & gym
Leave the phone upstairs.
Beyond the private Sky Pool courtyard, the spa features Japanese Ganbanyoku heated-stone beds, a Shio salt room, and whirlpool wet lounges.
At the table
The private Sky Suites Lounge presents morning pastries and evening wine, alongside priority access to premier dining across the resort.
How it began
Aria opened in 2009 as CityCenter's anchor, steering the Strip away from themed casinos toward glass-and-steel modernism and large-scale public art.
Where it’s lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set directly on the central Strip in CityCenter, the tower connects to luxury retail at Crystals and sits steps from T-Mobile Arena.

Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off

Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.

Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.

They did this well. You’ll notice.
Listed
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
Outside the door
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
