There’s so much more to it than gambling C
“BODIES: THE EXHIBITION” show-
hances are, if you like trying your luck at the tables or on the slots, you’ve already been to Las Vegas.
After all, it is the premier gambling destination in the world. No news there, right? But perhaps you had a tough time break-
ing away from the casino to venture out and see what else the city has to offer.
Whether traveling with family, friends or your significant other, there’s
so much more to Las Vegas than rolling dice. GET SETTLED IN Of course, if you’re staying at a place like Aria Hotel and Casino, one of
Las Vegas’ newest properties, breaking away from your temporary living quarters during that Vegas getaway won’t be easy. Located in the heart of Vegas’ new City Center, Aria plays hosts to some of the city’s hottest attractions.
The guest rooms at Aria feature some of the latest technology like one-
touch control of lighting, room temperature, television/video systems, music, wake-up calls, draperies and requests for service through a single, easy-to-use remote control. Guests can set the system to wake up gradu- ally through controlled temperature, lighting, curtain opening and prefer- red music.
The hotel features three pools and Liquid Pool Lounge, an adults only
water playground if you’re into more of a party scene. Be sure to have that credit card on hand, though, if you plan on visiting Liquid. The pool is a bit pricey but partying in Vegas usually is.
Of course, the party at Aria doesn’t stop poolside. The hotel features
a number of lounges and HAZE, one of the latest clubs presented by the industry leaders, The Light Group. The plush club features a one-of-a-kind sound system for an unforgettable nightlife experience at the hotel.
Aria also features a unique onsite spa and salon that offers everything
from massage therapies to facial care. Just don’t get too comfortable be- cause there’s so much more to do.

LOVING IN
Vegas LAS VEGAS For more insight on things to do when
planning a trip to Las Vegas with your signifi- cant other, we asked Leslie Frisbee, editor of Las Vegas Magazine, to name her top 10 must-dos when in love and visiting the city.
Gondola Rides at The Grand Canal Shoppes: Recreating the mystique of its European counterpart, The Venetian brings the charm of Italy to the heart of the Strip. As you float through The Grand Canal Shoppes past the cafes and shoppes your gondolier will serenade you and your loved one with such classics as “That’s Amore.”

Eiffel Tower: Synonymous with romance, the Eiffel Tower Expe- rience provides an awe-inspiring, panoramic view of the city from 460 feet above the Strip. A half-scale replica of the Paris version, the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas is open for tours throughout the day and night and provides an unparal- leled view of the Strip from the observation deck.

Phantom — The Las Vegas Spectacular: A timeless love story, the musical tells the story of a macabre Phantom, his object of obsession, opera singer Christine Daaé, and her childhood sweetheart, Raoul. Having re- cently celebrated its fourth anniversary, this is without question one of the best productions ever staged.
Sky Bar at Mandarin Oriental: A late-night liason is even more special at this swank locale. Perched on the 23rd floor of Manda- rin Oriental, Sky Bar offers breathtaking city views, exquisite cocktails and plush seating for snuggling.
