Follow the signs (there is no light) as these will indicate where the left turnoff is to a long ramp that goes down into the garage. Parking at ARIA seems more confusing than it really is. The only way to access this garage is by turning off the Strip onto Aria Place. Be aware that most of the resort's rooms (98 percent of them, only a few high roller suites have been exempted) are nonsmoking, so the only places you'll be able to light up are on the casino floor or in various bars. At checkout, you might find you've been hit with a $500-$1000 smoking restoration fee. If you're thinking of smoking in your room at ARIA, don't. Since the price point is elevated here, why not just go all out and upgrade to one of the Sky Suites? With the one-bedroom penthouse, not only will you get postcard-worthy views and more flat-screen TVs than you'd find in an electronics store, but you'll enjoy extras like limousine transport from the airport, a personal concierge and access to the private Sky Suites Lounge, where you can indulge in drinks (yes, this includes alcohol) and snacks all day and night long. Good to know: There isn't a bad room in the house. There are some seriously unique amenities in here including a Shio salt room (its salt-infused air improves both your breathing and skin) and Ganbanyoku heated stone beds, which are unbelievably soothing to your muscles.

Spend an afternoon at ARIA's Spa & Salon. So spend the day exploring, it's totally worth it.

Several pieces dot the property's indoor and outdoor public spaces. ARIA's got an impressive fine art collection, and you don't have to pay a museum admission cost to view it. Three ellipse-shaped pools are spread across a palm tree-laden deck. Open year-round, the pool area at ARIA is like something out of the Garden of Eden. Simply put, you're the master of your domain at ARIA Las Vegas. Each room includes an in-room tablet where you'll have one-touch control of lighting, temperature, draperies, music, in-room dining and more. The rooms are a tech lover's dream, featuring the latest gadgetry (keyless locks, personalized automation, etc.). Luxury on all levels What we love: ARIA Las Vegas opened at the end of 2009 and it still has that new car smell. Sporting magnificent modern architecture and top-tier dining, entertainment, pool and spa options, ARIA stands tall as a hip resort in the heart of the Strip.
