Known as one of the best hotels along the Las Vegas Strip, ARIA Resort & Casino offers more than 16 different restaurants and 10 bars. The eclectic array of eateries include exciting world-class fine dining experiences, popular casual venues, and the new Proper Eats Food Hall.

Fine Dining

Peek inside the sophisticated gold and black entrance at Jean Georges Steakhouse to notice the unique glazed lava rock bar with what looks like milk dipping down at the bottom of the custom made chandelier. Impeccably uniformed servers guide guests through an immersive dining experience featuring some of the best beef from around the world.

Besides featuring dozens of cuts of Prime beef, there are also seafood and other proteins cooked on a wood-burning grill using mesquite, pear and apricot wood. This fuel for the fire creates pleasing flavor profiles. Larger cuts of Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeye and Prime Porterhouse are carved table side.

Classic sides include a salt and pepper baked potato and sautéed broccoli rabe. Be sure to order Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s one-of-a-kind molten chocolate cake with a white chocolate shell sphere. Once the server scores the chocolate with warm chocolate sauce, its petals drop to become a spectacular edible lotus flower.

The Italain-American Carbone, is a favorite dining concept from Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi and Jeff Zalaznick. With a touch of glamour, showmanship with tableside service and a rum cart, this New York-inspired fine dining restaurant showcases elevated classics such as Lobster Fra Diavolo, Chicken Scarpariello, Veal Parmesan and Octopus Pizzaiolo.

Recently on the promenade level of the resort, ARIA collaborated with Clique Hospitality to curate a group of popular fast-casual culinary venues to form Proper Eats Food Hall.  They welcomed popular eateries from London, Los Angeles, New York and Portland to open another location in Las Vegas. “We’ve curated a stellar lineup to wow foodies from around the globe. It’s the best of the best, plus exceptional cocktails to complement the cuisine,” said Andy Masi, founder of Clique Hospitality. “We are thrilled to debut Proper Eats Food Hall as part of ARIA’s incredible dining and nightlife offerings.”

The colorful 24,000 square feet culinary space reflects each eateries unique personality. Proper Eats is led by chef and partner Jason McLeod. One of the fast casual spots, Easy Donuts is a front for Easy Cocktail Lounge. If you look behind the letters E A S Y on their sign, you will see the words S P E A K, between each letter. The space behind the ordering counter is actually a secret cabaret style Speakeasy.
