Aria Resort & Casino, which opened in December 2009, is part of the CityCenter development on the Las Vegas Strip. Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, the 61-story curved glass tower houses more than 4,000 guest rooms and suites, two pools, and a 150,000-square-foot casino. It was one of the first major resorts in Las Vegas to emphasize sustainability, earning multiple LEED Gold certifications for its energy efficiency and smart room technology. Aria is also known for its understated, modern aesthetic — replacing themed extravagance with clean architecture, high-end dining, and an extensive art collection integrated throughout the property.

Hilton Grand Vacations at Resorts World Las Vegas is a sleek, glass-covered tower on the northern end of the Strip, known for its reflective façade and distinctive red architectural accent running along one edge. Completed in 2021 as part of the Resorts World complex, the property offers timeshare-style accommodations within one of the newest integrated resorts in the city. Its elevated design provides sweeping views of the Strip and nearby mountains, while its proximity to the Las Vegas Convention Center and the airport—seen in the distance here—highlights its mix of leisure and business appeal.

The exterior of The Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip, photographed with the resort’s twin hotel towers and central entrance framed by palm landscaping and the property’s signature tropical aesthetic. Prominently displayed along the upper façades are large-format banners for The Beatles LOVE, the long-running Cirque du Soleil production that opened in 2006 and became one of the Strip’s most recognizable resident shows.

Opened in 1989 by Steve Wynn, The Mirage marked a turning point in modern Las Vegas resort development, helping shift the Strip toward large-scale, theme-driven destinations that combined lodging, entertainment, and spectacle into a single integrated property. The resort’s gold-tinted glass towers, central dome, and lush frontage were designed to evoke a self-contained oasis amid the surrounding desert and high-density casino corridor. For nearly two decades, LOVE tied the hotel’s identity to the legacy of The Beatles, blending archival music with acrobatics, choreography, and immersive theater in a purpose-built venue inside the resort.

The waterfront at Treasure Island features Señor Frog’s, a lively restaurant and bar that overlooks the resort’s lagoon and replica pirate ships. Once home to the “Sirens of TI” show, the area now serves as a social hub with fountains, themed décor, and outdoor seating that captures views of the Las Vegas Strip. The playful red exterior and nautical props recall the property’s original pirate theme, blending nostalgia with the casual, party-friendly energy that defines this corner of the Strip today.

Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, often called “TI,” opened in 1993 on the Las Vegas Strip as a pirate-themed resort developed by Steve Wynn. The property’s signature red and cream façade overlooks a lagoon once home to nightly pirate ship battles—an attraction that became one of the Strip’s most recognizable spectacles. While the resort has evolved over time, moving away from its original family-friendly theme, the nautical elements and ship masts at its entrance remain as nostalgic reminders of its 1990s Las Vegas showmanship.

Encore Las Vegas, part of Wynn Resorts, opened in December 2008 as a companion to the adjacent Wynn Las Vegas. Its bronze-colored glass façade curves elegantly above the Strip, reflecting both sunlight and skyline with the resort’s signature minimalist style. The 48-story tower features luxury suites, fine dining, and high-end retail, continuing the brand’s focus on refined design and personalized service. With its modern architecture and warm tones, Encore represents the quieter, more polished side of the Las Vegas luxury scene.
