CityCenter is the largest privately funded development in the world. Boasting some of the most modern and Earth-friendly architecture and design anywhere with thousands of hotel rooms, apartments, and all types of entertainment spread across five properties, it is located right at the heart of the world famous Strip.
Though CityCenter is on the Strip, it is really a city within itself with private drives and access directly from the freeway. CityCenter is quickly becoming one of Vegas’s main attractions.
Aria is the soul of CityCenter. The beautifully designed building rises sixty stories, and includes 4,004 guestrooms with 568 suites, 16 restaurants, and 10 bars and lounges.

While every resort up and down the strip has a Spa and Salon, Aria sets itself apart in this regard offering a huge menu of therapies and treatments in a unique and relaxing environment.
