Aria Hotel, Las Vegas Strip Architecture

The Aria Resort & Casino, a 61-story hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, opened in December 2009 as part of the CityCenter development. Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, its curved glass facade and 4,000-plus guest rooms represent a shift towards modern aesthetics and sustainability in Las Vegas architecture. The resort was among the first major Las Vegas properties to achieve LEED Gold certification, highlighting its energy efficiency and integrated technology. Aria is recognized for its contemporary design, high-end amenities, and extensive art collection, distinguishing itself from the themed resorts prevalent on the Strip.
