Mandarin Oriental with Aria Resort and Casino

A luxury five-star nongaming property, the 47-story Mandarin Oriental is a sophisticated sanctuary of modern elegance at the entrance of CityCenter. The striking exterior sits atop a podium of zinc, titanium, granite and limestone and rises vertically into a façade inspired by traditional Chinese motifs created by vertical panels of aluminum and glass interlocking with horizontal frit. Although it features an internalized entry experience that provides guests with a sense of seclusion, the Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas is oriented so it meets the boulevard and serves as a visual gateway to CityCenter. ARIA RESORT AND CASINO Consisting of two curved glass-and-steel high-rise towers adjoined at the center, Aria Resort and Casino is considered the crown jewel of CityCenter and one of the most breathtaking hotels in Las Vegas. Opened in December 2009, Aria is owned by MGM Resorts International and Dubai World. Its architecturally unique and sustainable design complements Aria’s impeccable hospitality and personalized service. The structure features expansive spaces like a three-story lobby that are complemented by warm, intimate décor elements of reclaimed wood and native stone. Greeting guests at Aria’s arched porte-cochère are innovative water features like Lumia, which recycles water lit up with bright, vibrant colors as it shoots into arcs and twisting ribbons, and Focus, a curved 250-feet-long by 24-feet-high water wall that stretches across the front of the building. Guests also enjoy public art, such as Maya Lin’s “Silver River,” which depicts the Colorado River in 100-percent reclaimed silver flowing majestically above the registration desk. Conveniently a free tram runs between Bellagio and Monte Carlo with a stop at Crystals near the Aria Resort and Casino as well.
