I posted earlier about how much I enjoyed my stay at the Aria hotel. There is so much to show at the hotel that that review was on the room and this review is on the facilities at the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas.

Arriving at the hotel:
There is a big circle at the front of the hotel for taxi drop off and pick up, and valet and self parking.
This is the view from the taxi pick up stand.
This is the rather large reception area at the Aria. The hotel has 4004 rooms and suites and has been issued with the AAA Five Diamond Award and Forbes Travel Guide has given the hotel a 5 star rating.
There are different counters in the large lobby. A special desk is for invited guests and there is a guest services counter too.
This picture shows you the size of the lobby area. Gold pillars supporting a high ceiling with many styles of plants and decorations around.
Restaurants and food stores:
There are a lot of food stores in this hotel. The smartest (most expensive) are Carbone featuring Italian classics, and Jean Georges steakhouse featuring some of the finest Kobe A5 beef in the world.
Other smart choices are Javiers for Mexican, CATCH for seafood, Blossom for Chinese, Bardot Brasserie for French, Cathedrale for Mediterranean and Julian Serrano Tapas for Spanish.
More affordable are Moneyline Pizza and Bar, Proper eats food hall, Lemongrass for Thai, Salt and Ivy Cafe and Patio Bar which has a great breakfast, and Din Tai Fung for asian.
For pop-ins there are Posh Burger, Starbucks, ARIA Patisserie and Pressed Juicery.
There is a bar in the middle of the casino that has live music, This guitarist was playing on the evening I wandered around.
All in all a stunning collection of choices.
There are also clothing stores available for elegant evening outfits as well as Aria and Las Vegas mementos.
Convention area:
There is a great convention area with many different sized rooms for use. Great lobby areas outside the rooms that can be used for reception, displays and food.
Wonderful furnishings abound, great designs on the wall and floor, and interesting art works.
There is an amazing garden display on the right as you go down the escalator to the convention rooms.
Even the rest rooms are very smart and elegant.
These business facilities are provided for use by guests. Printers, chargers, computers, phones, delivery, postage, all available.
Pool and spa facilities:
There is a pool, pool bar, sky pool, and many other pool related areas that you can use and enjoy.
There are many small jacuzzi type pools available as well as the other larger pools.
The spa is really elegant and it looks like you could spend a lot of time there.
This rock and fountain formation is at the entrance to the spa area.
Many different seating areas available for spa guests.
Here is the salon as well as the Kalologie Medispa.
In the same area as the spa is the gym. For a hotel this size you need a large gym with a lot of equipment and this gym totally provides that.
The artistic side:
There are some wonderful designs and pieces of art on display. Here is a lovely collection of Christopher Walken pictures and below is a marvelous floor design and a silver horse statue.
Conclusion:
These hotels are all part of the City Center complex and are part of the Aria vibe. I always enjoy staying at the Aria and as you can see there are so many things you can do to keep yourself occupied during your stay.
Is the lobby and public areas smoke free
Yes Dee, almost all public spaces in Las Vegas are smoke free. All hotels have designated smoking areas.
