The Las Vegas Strip is buzzing with activity, packed with lavish resorts, and the hotel prices can be so steep that you might feel like you need to hit a jackpot on a slot machine just to lighten the financial load.

The Aria Las Vegas Hotel brings class at a price that won’t break the bank. Its sleek glass towers create a stunning, modern outline against the varied architectural styles that shape the Las Vegas skyline. MGM Resorts’ Aria Resort & Casino really shines among the newer Las Vegas resorts because it was one of the pioneers in moving away from a specific theme, offering hotel rooms on the strip starting at just $129 a night, complete with plenty of in-room tech.

This eye-catching, glassy complex aims to draw in guests with a range of bars and restaurants, pools, a spa, and, of course, a huge casino floor. Aria deliberately steers clear of the themed concepts that its competitors or sister properties embrace, like the Bellagio (inspired by Italy’s Lake Como), Paris Las Vegas (France), Luxor (Egypt), or Excalibur (medieval times). Instead, this MGM Resorts gem is named after the Aria Campus — a high-end hotel and casino complex that includes the Aria Resort & Casino, along with the Aria Sky Suites and Vdara Hotel & Spa.

The Shops at Crystals, a luxury shopping mall featuring brands like Dior and Gucci, are linked to the hotel. Even though the Aria on the Las Vegas Strip is set back a bit further than some of its siblings and rivals, the Aria Express Tram makes it easy for visitors to travel from Aria and the Shops at Crystals to the Bellagio and Park MGM (both part of MGM Resorts along with Aria).
