Despite its close proximity to the Las Vegas Strip, Liquid Pool Lounge at Aria will make you feel like you are worlds away. Hidden away behind the resort’s main pool complex is this adult only pool club where bikini-clad beauties and the men who love them soak in the sun and sip on decadent libations. Live DJs crank out the sounds and keep the party going until sunset.

Aria is part of the massive City Center complex, located south of the Bellagio. The city within Sin City is known for its upscale environment and chic décor so Liquid fits right in. Towering palms surround the perimeter offering privacy for guests and only adding to the seclusion of this tropical getaway. Maximum capacity is approximately 800 people but the venue’s layout allows for enough room to spread out that guests don’t feel overly crowded.

Guests who want to mingle with the masses while they party can relax on one of the daybeds or chaise lounges arranged around the main pool, which offers 1,200 square feet of liquid refreshment. Janus Et Cie designed the handcrafted wicker furniture used throughout the 16,000 square feet pool paradise.

Those looking for a more private poolside experience can reserve one of the property’s eight grand cabanas. Cabanas offer comfortable furniture and a shady place to kick back and enjoy the surroundings while sipping on cocktails or enjoying selections from the poolside dining menu. Each cabana is spacious enough to accommodate groups up to 14. They are equipped with a mini fridge to keep drinks ice cold, a privacy drape, a ceiling fan and a 40” flat screen television. Cabana rental also offers access to a private pool and two daybeds for lounging by the water.
