ARIA Resort & Casino is a AAA Five Diamond hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip, part of the larger CityCenter development. Its casino floor, restaurants, and public spaces operate around the clock, seven days a week, so there’s no fixed opening or closing time for the resort itself.

Beyond gaming, ARIA is known for its contemporary art collection displayed throughout the property, a large spa, multiple pools, and a lineup of restaurants from well-known chefs. The resort’s curved glass towers and floor-to-ceiling windows have made it one of the more architecturally distinct properties on the Strip since opening in 2009.

Because ARIA functions as a full resort rather than a single attraction, most guests treat it as a multi-day base for a Las Vegas trip rather than a quick stop.

The Bellagio is a luxury resort and casino on the Las Vegas Strip, best known for the Fountains of Bellagio, a choreographed water show set on an 8.5-acre lake. The fountains are one of the most iconic free attractions in Las Vegas, with performances synchronized to music ranging from Frank Sinatra to Lady Gaga.

Beyond the fountains, the resort houses a fine art gallery, a 14,000-square-foot indoor botanical garden with seasonal displays, and the world’s largest chocolate fountain. Fountain shows run every 30 minutes from 3 to 6:30 PM and every 15 minutes from 7 PM to midnight on weekdays, with an earlier weekend start at noon.

Viewing is free from the Strip sidewalk and lakeside rail, though restaurants like Lago, Spago, and the Eiffel Tower Restaurant offer premium terrace views. Nighttime is widely considered the best time to see the fountains at their most dramatic.

Caesars Palace is a Roman Empire-themed hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip, opened in 1966 and one of the city’s most recognizable resorts. Its grounds combine a sprawling casino floor, marble columns, fountains, and classical statuary with high-end shopping at the Forum Shops and headline entertainment at the Colosseum, a 4,300-seat venue that has hosted residencies from Celine Dion to Adele.

Beyond gaming, visitors come for the Garden of the Gods pool complex, a collection of Roman-inspired pools and lounges, and a dense cluster of celebrity-chef restaurants including Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen and Nobu. The Forum Shops mall features a painted sky ceiling that cycles through simulated day and night.

Because Caesars Palace sits mid-Strip, it’s an easy walk to Bellagio’s fountains and the Linq Promenade. As a working casino resort, it operates around the clock with no set opening or closing time.

Excalibur Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip is open 24 hours a day, every day — the casino floor, lobby, and hotel check-in never close. It’s one of the Strip’s medieval-themed resorts, easily recognized by its turreted, castle-style exterior.

Beyond gaming, Excalibur is known for the Tournament of Kings dinner show, an arcade and midway games area, a large pool complex, and budget-friendly rooms that make it a popular pick for families and groups.

How long you spend depends on what you’re there for — a quick walk-through of the casino floor takes 20-30 minutes, while guests staying for the shows, pool, and dining can easily fill a half day or more.
