Wondering where the hottest new spots will be in Las Vegas next year? With the opening of ARIA Resort and Casino, come four new awesome venues from the guys who brought you Carmel, Mist, Bare, Jet, and more! The Light group will bring in a nightclub, a lounge, a restaurant and a pool lounge to the new resort and each will be designed to reflect the splendor of CityCenter.

Grab dinner at the Union Restaurant and Lounge which will feature contemporary American cuisine and will be located in the center of the casino floor. Struggling to decide if you should spend all your time at a swanky lounge or stay at the Black Jack tables? Head over to the Deuce Lounge where you can sip on a cocktail from their creative menu while you try your luck at one of their Black Jack tables. If you’re looking to go dancing, head over to Haze Nightclub, where you will find a wall of interactive projection screens, suede walls, plush surfaces, and a 100 foot performance space for impromptu acts by the world’s biggest artists. Finally, opening in the spring of 2010 will be the resort’s adult-only pool, Liquid, which will offer poolside pampering, 17 cabanas, and dipping pools with underwater speakers and multiple bars. If you needed an excuse to head to Vegas at any point next year, we just found you four!
