ARIA Resort and Casino offers “Flashy and Classy”

Posted on by
ARIA Resort and Casino
Discover a world of illuminating experiences at ARIA Resort & Casino, where world-class dining and five-star service converge with in-room technologies and award-winning rooms and suites.

Nowadays the Las Vegas Strip today is a bustling area filled with sprawling luxury resorts and the hotel bills can be so high that you might feel like you need to hit a jackpot at a slot machine just to ease the financial strain. The ARIA Resort and Casino offers “flashy and classy” at a reasonable price. The hotel’s sleek glass towers create a striking, modern silhouette against the diverse architectural styles that define the Las Vegas skyline.

ARIA Resort and Casino really stands out among the newer Las Vegas resorts because it was one of the first to move away from a specific theme and can still offer a hotel room on the strip from $129 a night with many in-room technologies. This flashy, glassy complex focuses on attracting guests with a variety of bars and restaurants, pools, a spa, and, of course, a massive casino floor.

Aria intentionally avoids the various themes that its competitors or sister properties adopt, like the Bellagio (Italy’s Lake Como), Paris Las Vegas (France), Luxor (Egypt), or Excalibur (medieval times). Instead, this MGM Resorts property is the namesake of 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 connected to the hotel.

While the ARIA Resort and Casino is set back farther than some of its siblings and competitors, the Aria Express Tram connects visitors from Aria and the Shops at Crystals to the Bellagio and Park MGM (both part of MGM Resorts along with Aria).

U-Shape Pau Ferro Neck
The 70’s Fender Stratocaster 7.25″ U-Shape Pau Ferro Neck with vintage frets and a U-Shaped back.

These 70’s Fender U-Shape Pau Ferro Neck Strat necks offer a 7.25″ fretboard radius, bullet truss rod, vintage frets and appear light brown and at times, with darker streaks and are often considered to look “drier” than rosewood. The neck’s tone is frequently described as brighter and more articulate than rosewood, with more projection. Similar to a Classic Series ’70s Stratocaster® “U” Neck, the neck feel is very smooth, often compared to ebony due to its dense, tight grain. Crafted with a gloss urethane finish for smooth playing and lasting durability on your guitar.

70’s Fender Stratocaster U-Shape Pau Ferro Neck Specs:

  • Upgrade your ’70s Strat with this genuine Fender ‘U’ shape guitar neck for vintage feel!
  • Enjoy vintage-style frets and a classic 7.25″ radius for comfortable, authentic play.
  • Crafted with a gloss urethane finish for smooth playing and lasting durability on your guitar.
  • The pau ferro fingerboard offers rich tones and complements the maple guitar neck beautifully.
  • Pre-slotted nut ensures easy string spacing; final filing needed for perfect guitar setup.
  • Install this ‘U’ shape neck for enhanced playability and tone on your Stratocaster guitar.

Fender Pau Ferro necks often used on Mexican-made (Player/Classic Series) and some licensed replacements feature a bright and “snappier” sounding neck. These maple necks typically feature a Pau Ferro fingerboard with a 7.25″ to a 12″ radius, offering a fast, articulate feel that sits between rosewood and ebony in both sound and texture. The 70s Pau Ferro fingerboard offers rich tones and complements the maple guitar neck beautifully.

Charvel Pro-Mod DK22 Guitar Neck

Charvel Pro-Mod DK22 Guitar Neck
The Charvel Pro-Mod DK22 Guitar Neck features an innovative 12″-16″ compound radius design.

The Charvel Pro-Mod DK22 guitar neck offers high performance playing combined with standout style and full-spectrum tone. The Pro-Mod DK22 SSS 2PT CM is a sleek new instrument designed especially for a new breed of player whose musical versatility knows no boundaries.

Likewise, the Charvel innovative 12″-16″ compound radius neck has a caramelized maple fingerboard. The fretboard flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This makes for comfortable and natural-feeling chording and riffing near the nut, with optimal shred articulation and bending nearer the heel.

Charvel Pro-Mod DK22 Guitar Neck

Charvel is raising the bar for modern high performance. By blending exceptional style and a full range of tones, the Pro-Mod DK22 has playability. This guitar is crafted specifically for a new generation of players whose musical creativity and adaptability know no limits.

Pro-Mod DK22 Guitar Neck shapes are designed to be slimmer and narrower than traditional guitar necks. Furthermore, featuring comfortably rolled fingerboard edges that enhance high performance. The bolt-on neck includes two graphite-reinforcement rods to prevent bending and warping due to environmental factors. A deep, scalloped lower back bout provides easy and unrestricted access to the upper frets.

The Pro-Mod DK22 Guitar tone control features a “no-load” design that functions like a standard tone control from positions one through nine, but completely bypasses the tone circuit when set to 10, delivering the brightest guitar tone possible.

Charvel Pro-Mod DK22 Guitar features a Gotoh® 510 tremolo

A Gotoh Custom 510 tremolo bridge is a premium and comfortable two-point tremolo that can flutter like a standard floating locking bridge. The body is recessed in the body, creating lower string-height action on the fingerboard for comfortable fretting.
