While the Tower suites impress with their open-air whirlpool tubs, the ARIA Sky suites are the most coveted, with floor-to-ceiling windows and spa-like bathrooms. Inside, there’s an impressive art collection to match, such as Maya Lin’s 84-foot sculpture of the Colorado River cast in reclaimed silver and hanging over the reception desk, Jenny Holzer’s “VEGAS,” a 250-foot LED sign spelling out the artist’s messages, and a trifecta of stainless steel sculptures by Tony Cragg. Architecturally, the hotel, with its two curvilinear towers by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, is compelling. Housed within City Center, the mixed-use complex gracing the Las Vegas Strip, Aria Resort and Casino is a massive 4,004-room property, the largest to earn a LEED Gold rating in the world.
