ARIA Resort & Casino is Redefining Luxury in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The landscape of high-end resorts has changed in Las Vegas. If you drive down the world-famous Strip, you will still see the neon-covered buildings, but you may also notice that one of the newest resorts is a little different. There is no over-the-top luxury pouring out of ARIA Resort & Casino, instead you will see a level of detail and sophistication that is elevating the Las Vegas resort experience.

ARIA is probably exactly what you envision when you hear the words "modern resort." As you enter your room the curtains automatically open, lights come on and the TV greets you by name. It is called "The Welcome," a beautiful display using just a small portion of the amazing on-property technology. Other modern touches include one of the largest corporate collections of publically displayed art in the country, a state-of-the-art ventilation system to combat air pollutants and even a "liquid fireworks" show called Lumia.

What truly sets ARIA apart as one unique luxury resort on the Las Vegas Strip is the level of detail. No matter where you look, there is something worth seeing. Look up on the Casino Floor and notice how the beautiful leaf-like pattern of the panels on the roof actually defuses the light. Grab a drink at Jean Georges Steakhouse and admire the million-dollar wine wall. There are so many details that ARIA actually created a section on their website called "Things To See."

Here are a few favorites:

• Throughout the entire resort all of the plants and flowers used are real except for the never-ending forest at American Fish
• The art piece Silver River by Maya Lin is a scale replica of the Colorado River made of 100% recycled silver
• The restaurant Sage has one of the largest absinthe collections in North America
• Stones collected after the implosion of the Boardwalk Hotel & Casino were saved and used as decoration at Cafe Vettro
• Each of the columns surrounding the ARIA Poker Room contain exactly 52 cards, a full deck

ARIA is much more then a hotel in Las Vegas. This Strip resort is helping usher in a new era of luxury resorts in a city known for glitz, glamour and entertainment.
