Where to Find the Best Views of the Grand Canyon
From helicopter rides to white-water rafting, some of the best Grand Canyon views require you to get off the ground.
Everything about CityCenter embraces Vegas' over-the-top excess. The 4,004-room Aria Resort and Casino is one of the largest hotels in the world and features stunning water designs, with Maya Lin’s sculpture of the Colorado River and the arched porte-cochère, created by the same designers of the Bellagio fountains. Attached to the Aria is the Shops at Crystals, a refined retail district offering first-class boutiques. Plus, the CityCenter has one of the largest public art collections in the country; visitors can take free self-guided tours of the artwork.
To explore more of the Strip, book an exotic car driving experience along Las Vegas Boulevard or venture further from Sin City and take a guided tour of Red Rock National Park and Hoover Dam.
*Wheelchair and scooter rentals are available at the Aria bell desk on a first come, first served basis. *The Shops at Crystals are wheelchair accessible, including valet parking. *Free Wi-Fi is available at the Shops at Crystals.
CityCenter is located in the center of the Las Vegas Strip, just in front of the T-Mobile Arena and a dining and entertainment complex called the Park, which combines the New York-New York and Park MGM Las Vegas hotels. The concierge at Aria can arrange shuttle service to and from the airport; it’s about an 11-minute drive from McCarran International Airport to the CityCenter. Access to the Aria Express tram is located on level four of the Shops at Crystals; stops include Bellagio, Vdara, Park MGM Las Vegas, and Aria.
Since the CityCenter is adjacent to the T-Mobile Arena, which is home to the N.H.L.’s Vegas Golden Knights, as well as being the venue for major entertainment and sporting events, you may encounter large crowds when games, concerts, and other events are taking place there. But it’s also a convenient location if you’re planning your stay around an event at the arena.
