Among the exceptional dining experiences within Aria are chef Michael Mina's Bardot Brasserie, Sage led by James Beard Award-winning chef Shawn McClain and chef Masa Takayama's BarMasa.

With more than 4,000 technologically advanced guest rooms, a major retail and entertainment complex, more than 25 restaurants and bars and three swimming pools, Aria is reportedly the largest building in the world with an LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Also on the casino floor is a 25-table poker room including a high stakes table in the Ivey Room with wagers up to $100,000.

Located in the urban metropolis known as City Center on the Las Vegas Strip, Aria hosts an extraordinary casino with more than 150,000 square feet of gaming space and features nearly 2,000 slot machines and 145 tables for popular casino games like roulette, craps, blackjack and poker. But among the many five-star luxury resort-casinos in the city, Aria often comes up in the conversation as the best in this famous gambling mecca in the desert.

It's difficult to single out just one lavish Las Vegas casino-hotel, and it might be best to end the debate with the simple flip of a coin.
