Private elevator, private check-in, private pool terrace. Aria's casino is below — you'd barely know it existed.
Aria Sky Suites occupies the top floors of the Aria Resort tower at CityCenter, the eighteen-billion-dollar urban development that opened in 2009 to redefine what a Las Vegas property could be. The Sky Suites operation functions as a private hotel inside the larger Aria — a separate driveway, a separate lobby, a private elevator bank, and a guest list that never crosses paths with the cruise-ship traffic of the casino floor unless it chooses to. The result is the most discreet luxury experience the Strip currently offers, and the closest the city comes to a true urban resort sanctuary.
There are 442 suites in the Sky Suites collection, configured as one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts beginning at 1,050 square feet and reaching 2,000-plus for the larger residences. The interior design is restrained Tony Chi — wenge wood, off-white textiles, marble bathrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a control system that runs lighting, climate, and curtains from the bedside. Twenty-four-hour butler service is included for every Sky Suites guest, not just penthouse bookings, which is the operational difference that separates Aria's offering from the rest of the Strip's "premium" tiers.
The private pool terrace on the property's mezzanine level is reserved exclusively for Sky Suites guests and is the single most underrated luxury amenity in Las Vegas. It is quiet, adults-only, and opens early — the kind of place where a honeymoon couple can have breakfast at the cabana without seeing another guest before 11 AM. Sage, Carbone, Catch, and Jean Georges Steakhouse occupy the resort's main dining floor; Sky Suites guests receive priority booking and a dedicated host channel. The Spa at Aria spans 80,000 square feet and is one of the few facilities in Las Vegas that can be honestly described as restorative rather than indulgent.
CityCenter's location is the property's quiet advantage. The complex sits at the geographic center of the Strip, walkable to Cosmopolitan, Bellagio, and the Vegas Loop terminal, and connected by tram to Crystals Shops and the Park MGM cluster. For guests who want the Strip's energy on demand and silence on command, the Sky Suites private experience makes the trade-off seamless.
Aria Sky Suites is the most successful honeymoon hotel in Las Vegas because it solves the city's central honeymoon problem: the noise. Standard Strip hotels deposit newlyweds into a casino-floor commute every time they leave the room. The Sky Suites private elevator and dedicated arrivals lobby remove that friction entirely. Couples can book a private cabana on the exclusive pool terrace, dine at Catch with priority seating, and finish the evening with butler-arranged turndown — all without crossing the public casino. The two-bedroom Sky Suite at corner orientation, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Strip, is the room to request. See all honeymoon hotels →
The Sky Suites butler can arrange a private dinner in-suite with a Catch chef at the table, a turndown ritual with rose petals and chilled champagne, and a sunrise yoga session on the private pool terrace before the property opens to general guests. The hotel's relationships with Cirque du Soleil deliver house seats to most resident shows on twenty-four hours' notice. For an anniversary that wants Vegas energy without Vegas overload, this is the address. See all anniversary hotels →
