Vegas Hotel Guide
Nightlife Near ARIA
ARIA sits in the CityCenter complex at the center of the Las Vegas Strip, and its location is its superpower for nightlife. Jewel Nightclub is on-property — a multi-level LED-immersive venue. But more importantly, ARIA is within walking distance of five other major nightclubs. If variety matters to you, ARIA puts more clubs within reach on foot than almost any other hotel.
ARIA is also a genuinely luxury property at a slightly lower price point than Wynn or Fontainebleau, which makes it one of the better value propositions for nightlife-focused visitors who want upscale rooms without ultra-luxury pricing.
On-Property: Jewel Nightclub
Jewel is ARIA's nightclub — an intimate multi-level venue with floor-to-ceiling LED installations that create an immersive visual experience. The smaller capacity compared to XS or Hakkasan means the atmosphere is more personal, and the light show is more visible from every angle.
Jewel runs Friday and Saturday nights, 10:30 PM to 4 AM. The music policy covers EDM, house, and hip-hop depending on the night and DJ. For ARIA guests, the walk to Jewel is approximately 5 minutes through the casino.
Walking Distance: The Central Strip Advantage
ARIA's CityCenter location puts you in the nightlife sweet spot of the Strip:
| Venue | Distance | Notes |

| Marquee at Cosmopolitan | 5 min walk | North, on-foot through CityCenter |
| Marquee Dayclub | 5 min walk | Rooftop pool party at Cosmopolitan |
| Hakkasan at MGM Grand | 8 min walk | South, 80,000 sq ft mega-club |
| OMNIA at Caesars Palace | 10 min walk | North, kinetic chandelier, 5 nights/week |
| Drai's at The Cromwell | 10 min walk | North, hip-hop + after hours |
| On The Record at Park MGM | 5 min walk | South, speakeasy concept |
Six nightclubs walkable. No hotel except The Cosmopolitan matches this density.
Strip Clubs: 5-7 Minute Ride
Crazy Horse III is the closest strip club at approximately 5 minutes away. Sapphire Las Vegas is about 7 minutes. Both are upscale venues offering free entry through our guest list.
Pre-Game Dining
ARIA has a strong restaurant collection. Catch by Georgie serves celebrity-magnet seafood and steak. Carbone is a red-sauce Italian institution that frequently requires weeks-advance reservations on weekends. Jean Georges Steakhouse offers French-influenced American steakhouse dining. For something quicker, ARIA Patisserie or the casino-level restaurants handle pre-club dining efficiently.
The CityCenter complex also includes dining at Vdara and the Shops at Crystals, expanding your options without leaving the connected campus.
