ARIA Boutiques, CityCenter Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada
Within the ARIA Resort 6 Casino at City Center, Las Vegas are three 30,000sf combined uniquely new retail experiences: Elements, Viceroy and Terrene. These shops were conceived as an animated marketplace offering a blend of daily living necessities, gifts, and selected men’s and women’s fashion. Located off ARIA’s North Entrance, these spaces create a 24hour beacon of activity interwoven with ARIA’s public spaces. The open, luminous environment of the three interconnected areas is defined by a warmly modern sensibility infused with informal luxury and aspirational lifestyle. An array of sculptural display fixtures, luminous ceiling coves, and suspended vertical elements create a pattern of meandering movement reminiscent of stepping stones or lily pads. This accessible, enticing design concept invites guests to freely explore the space on both levels, discovering each individual area while allowing expansive overall views.
From the North Entrance’s dramatic glass curtain wall exterior, views into the boutiques are veiled on both levels by shimmering metal tubes backlit by a warm glow. Passage from the entrance into this 21stcentury upscale bazaar environment is defined by a hovering curtain of suspended metallic rods. The design and orientation of this trio of boutiques is meant to provoke interest and graciously draw the visitor inside. To enter is not to withdraw from the primary areas of the resort, but to take an alternative route and pleasant interlude enhancing the ARIA experience.
