Whether you’re a fan of online poker or you like to hit the tables in person, you’ll know that Las Vegas is the place to go for the ultimate casino experience. What’s more, the city also has some of the top hotels in the country for casino-goers to enjoy.
Of course, there are plenty of high-quality hotels for in-person players and those that play poker online to enjoy. However, the ARIA Resort & Casino is truly a cut above the rest.
Here’s what you have to look forward to when you visit the ARIA Resort & Casino.
Overview
Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, you know that the ARIA is going to be something special before you’ve even stepped foot inside. The sleek, curvilinear glass building stands out from the crowd on S Las Vegas Blvd and you’ll pass a serene wall of water before you enter the spacious lobby.
From here, things only get better in the ARIA. This stunning luxury resort has a unique design and sustainable design, and you’ll find floor-to-ceiling windows in every room. This gives you unbelievable panoramic views of the Spring Mountains of south Nevada… as well as the glinting lights of the Strip below.
The hotel is passionate about being environmentally friendly and sustainable. Lights dim automatically and turn off as guests leave the room and only eco-friendly products are used. The ARIA even used its predecessor’s (The Boardwalk, demolished in 2006) foundations to build on its well-positioned plot and construct the resort campus.
The rooms have a distinctive tech atmosphere with keyless locks, automated heating, curtains, lights, music and more. All of this can be controlled via each room’s Crave Interactive Tablets, which can also be used to book activities inside and outside of the hotel itself. The rooms themselves are furnished to the very highest standard and nothing has been spared on making them as luxurious as possible.
Hotel amenities
Whether you play poker online or you’re more a fan of in-person Texas Hold’em poker games, the amenities at the ARIA are simply outstanding and will delight any type of casino player. Let’s take a look at just a few of the amenities that you have to look forward to, all in one resort campus.
Pool complex and cabanas
If it’s a tan you’re after in between games, then you’ll be thrilled by the three separate pool areas found at the ARIA. Of course, each pool has its own poolside service, which means you can relax in your own private cabana and order whatever you desire from the food and drinks menu.
Spa

Electric and vibrant, the entertainment value at the ARIA is second to none in Vegas and you’ll find anything from UFC and boxing to world-class acts at the Dolby Live at Park MGM. Then there’s the T-Mobile Arena, which seats 20,000 people and has hosted some of the biggest names in the music industry and continues to have a jam-packed schedule throughout the year. Of course, there are also a number of nightclubs and bars too.
