A Sneak Peek Inside Aria Resort and Casino, Opening Today

Where: 3272 Las Vegas Boulevard South [map], Las Vegas, NV, United States, 89109

Today is THE day that Aria Resort and Casino, the most important piece of the CityCenter project opens its doors. For the past few days media folk have been wandering around the Aria checking things out. MGM Mirage employees from all properties have also been staying there to test out the casino operations, the rooms, and the restaurants in something called Play Days. (We hear the Play Days people only get fake money to gamble with. Booooo.)

Yesterday, we sampled some of the tasty delights at Sirio from Le Cirque's Sirio Maccioni, Jean Georges steakhouse and Michael Mina's American Fish. We also got a sneak peek of the Viva Elvis show from Cirque du Soleil and had a post-show drink at The Light Group's new GOLD Lounge.

Now, the madness gets turned up full steam with an 11am press conference to officially open Aria. We'll be tweeting every moment of it all for VegasChatter (well, not every moment because that would be insufferable) and we'll file our updates as soon as we can, especially on the hotel rooms at Aria. Got a question about Aria, Vdara, Mandarin Oriental, The Crystals or Viva Elvis? Hit up the request line and we'll get back to you on it.

For now, enjoy some of the photos we've taken thus far.
