Las Vegas ARIA Campus
South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV, 89109
The ARIA Campus development is home to the Aria Resort and Casino, the Shops at Crystals, multiple condominium complexes, the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas (formerly the Mandarin Oriental), and the Vdara Hotel and Spa. Connected by a tram to the Park MGM Las Vegas (formerly known as the Monte Carlo and Bellagio hotels), it's one of the Strip's most impressive complex developments.
The basics
Everything about ARIA Campus 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 ARIA Campus 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 a luxury car driving experience along Las Vegas Boulevard; alternatively, venture further from Sin City and take a guided tour of Red Rock National Park and Hoover Dam.

How to get there
ARIA Campus 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 ARIA Campus. 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.
When to get there
Since the ARIA Campus 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.
The Fountains of Bellagio
Located on the Las Vegas Strip, the Bellagio Hotel and Casino is known for its Fountains of Bellagio. Water shows take place daily, ranging from every 15-30 minutes depending on the day. Accompanied by music, each show is unique in expression and interpretation. Visitors can enjoy these shows for free by securing a viewing spot on the sidewalk in front of the fountains.
