Puff Puff Pass...But Maybe Not at Aria?
Ah, Las Vegas. The city of bright lights, endless buffets, and...cigarette smoke filling your nostrils like a rogue fog machine? Well, hold on to your lucky lighters, because in the case of Aria Resort & Casino, things are a bit more ventilated than you might expect.
Smoke and Mirrors: The Lowdown on Aria's Smoking Policy
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
Let's cut to the chase: Yes, smoking is currently allowed on the casino floor at Aria. So, if you're itching for a mid-blackjack drag, you're good to go (just be mindful of your neighbors, nobody likes a second-hand smoke shark).
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
However, there are a few smoke-free zones to be aware of:
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
- All guest rooms and suites are a no-smoking haven. Light up a cigarette and you might trigger a fire alarm faster than you can say "seven-eleven."
- Restaurants and bars are also strictly smoke-free. Unless you want security mistaking your vape for a James Bond gadget, puff away from the food and drinks.
- The Vdara Hotel & Spa, which is connected to Aria, is an entirely smoke-free zone. So, if you're super sensitive to smoke, this might be your best bet for a lung-friendly stay.
The Great Ventilation Debate: Smoke and Sighs
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.

Here's the thing about Aria's smoking policy: it's a bit of a love-hate relationship for some visitors. While smoking is allowed, Aria boasts a pretty impressive ventilation system. This means the smoke shouldn't be as thick and overwhelming as some older casinos.
However, ventilation systems can only do so much. Some reviews claim you might still catch a whiff here and there, especially if you're unlucky enough to get stuck next to a chain-smoking slot champion.
So, You Wanna Smoke at Aria? Here's Your Battle Plan:
- Pack light: If you're a smoker and Aria is your Vegas HQ, pack accordingly. You'll likely be doing most of your smoking outdoors (designated smoking areas are plentiful) or on the casino floor.
- Embrace the fresh air: Take breaks! The beauty of Vegas is that there's always something exciting happening outside the casino. Plus, a breath of fresh air can do wonders for your focus...especially if you're on a losing streak.
- Consider the smoke-free alternative: If you're super sensitive or simply prefer a smoke-free environment, the Vdara Hotel & Spa might be a better fit.
FAQs: Smoking Like a Champ at Aria (or Not)
- How to find a designated smoking area? Just ask a friendly Aria staff member, or follow the handy signs with the cigarette symbol (because apparently, a giant lit cigarette isn't clear enough these days).
- How to be a courteous smoker? Be mindful of those around you. Nobody wants a face full of secondhand smoke while they're trying to win a fortune.
- How to avoid smoke altogether? Stick to the non-smoking zones (guest rooms, restaurants, bars, Vdara Hotel & Spa).
- How to deal with a smoke craving? Take a walk on the Strip! The fresh air and dazzling lights might just distract you enough to forget about that cigarette.
- How to gamble responsibly (smoker or not)? Set a budget, stick to it, and remember, the house always wins...unless you hit the jackpot, of course! But that's a story for another time.
