Number 4 – Aria Resort & Casino Las Vegas
Aria is one of the newest hotels on the strip but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t already put itself on the marriage map since opening in December 2009 in the CityCentre complex. This modern glass structure looks more like a work of art than a hotel, it is a must stay for those ecology minded boasting to have been built specifically to reduce energy consumption. It also is a technology lover’s dream. The state of the art rooms have touch screen automatic systems which control the curtains, lights and temperature, adjusting them to the most economy friendly settings once you have left the room.
At the Aria you have six stunning options on where to say “I do”.
Firstly there is the exclusive wedding chapel which is romantic, elegant and modern. Next is the Fireside Lounge, this is designed for intimate ceremonies of up to 60 guests. Also perfect for the more intimate wedding is the Chihuly Gallery, imagine getting married surrounded by the amazing glass art of Dale Chihuly. In the North Valet front lobby is the Happy Buddha statue, an amazing backdrop for your vows. The poolside verandah is our personal favourite; this outside space is so beautiful, especially at sunset. Last but not least is in front of the iconic curved Water Wall, an amazing setting guaranteed to provide some spectacular pictures.
With 16 spectacular restaurants to hold your reception meal Aria is certainly a contender for someone looking for an amazing Las Vegas wedding experience.
