Sporting modern architecture and top-tier dining, the six-year-old ARIA Resort and Casino stands tall as a hip resort in the heart of CityCenter and the Las Vegas Strip.

Grab a Drink at Alibi Cocktail Lounge

The ARIA lobby bar, Alibi is open and spacious, and serves some great cocktails. Order the Bright Eyed and Bushy Tailed and Her Alibi.

Zarkana by Cirque du Soleil

Zarkana, a Cirque du Soleil production at ARIA Resort & Casino, plunges guests into the surreal world of Zark the magician as he begins a quest to find his lost powers and his lost love. Set in an abandoned theatre populated by a cast of unusual characters, he enters an acrobatic fantasy world of twisted circus acts and strange diversions on his way to regain his love. Tickets: $69-$180.

Eat at The Buffet

The Buffet offers a new take on the old Vegas standby. While open for breakfast and lunch, it's dinner where the food really shines. Diners can choose fresh seafood from an always-changing station called The Fish Market; or have delicious Naan baked fresh in front of them in a Tandoori oven. Other options include upscale all-American comfort food such as meatloaf and chicken fried steak; New York style pizza, made-to-order pasta and much more. Dinner price is $34.99-$39.99.
