The six exhibit galleries include 50 pieces of international contemporary artwork from the Vogel collection which was bequeathed to the museum in 2010."

"Hands down, our favorite museum is the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, on the campus of University of Nevada Las Vegas. It hosts art from local as well as national artists.

"Jean Philippe Patisserie at Aria lacks the floor-to-ceiling chocolate fountain of their Bellagio location, but features plentiful seating for fascinating people watching. The dessert oasis right in the middle of Aria's casino floor features a full menu from a single, artisan chocolate bite to lunch spot favorites. They'll even pack meals to-go in airline friendly packaging."

"Inside the ARIA Resort & Casino, Bardot Brasserie transports you from the Strip straight to the streets of Paris. Step inside the sultry 1920s-inspired restaurant and enjoy a drink at the brass-clad bar, or opt for the cozy outdoor café seating overlooking Aria’s second-floor promenade, which feels like you’re people-watching along the Champs-Élysées. With a French brasserie-style menu created by James Beard award-winning chef Michael Mina, Bardot Brasserie takes classic French bistro fare to mouthwatering new heights."

"But I can always get behind steak frites, which Bardot Brasserie at the ARIA Resort & Casino does really well. The restaurant is one of Chef Michael Mina’s, and it makes one of the best Beef Wellington meals on the Strip — large enough to serve two. I am told that the restaurant also does seafood well, but I have not tried it myself."

"Enjoy classic French comfort food with a modern twist at Bardot Brasserie by celebrity chef Michael Mina. Located inside ARIA Resort & Casino. Start with the oeufs mimosa while browsing the menu."

"This is Robuchon's second appearance on this list, and this time it's at the smaller one-star L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon, which is considered a kind of culinary workshop for the famous chef. It's here where you'll find Robuchon's more daring and experimental dishes, all of which are prepared right in front of you. If you'd love to peek inside the kitchen, make sure you grab a seat at the service counter."

For a more informal experience, this service bar environment offers a clear view into the open kitchen where you can watch your meal being prepared before your eyes."

"If you didn’t do well enough at the tables to eat next door, L’Atelier is no mere consolation prize. The alarmingly red restaurant — barstools, water glasses, flowers, lighting — is an eye-catcher even through all the flashing neon on the casino floor. Sit at the counter and build your own prix fixe dinner."
