View Bar

I love this bar. Its a simple casino bar BUT the environment and service make it the best place ever. If you go make sure Manny mixes your drinks. Awesome mixologist and the best humor ever. Believe me you’ll come out being buddies with him. This is a great place to hit before a night club or even end the night there. Everytime I drive out to Vegas even if for a 1 day trip I make sure to hit this place up.

The bar was right next to the entrance of the guest elevators which was really convenient. You walk out of the elevators and to the left, there it is!
The ambiance was nice. When we were there, there was live piano music going on and she was singing things from Bruno Mars to Coldplay and more. it was an enjoyable experience. Their drinks were quite strong and delicious as well — at least for me, coming from someone who is more of a lightweight drinker.

Located inside the Aria, View Bar is one of those typical bar-​lounges that you see in some of the nicer casinos on The Strip.
It has a stylish, intimate ambiance to match the feel and look of the property. What I like about this bar is that there’s plenty of seating. I do like the how they have armchairs and couches, but the couches we sat on were too firm and became uncomfortable to sit on over time.
It comes as no surprise that the drinks are expensive. Some of the girls in my group even gasped when they saw the prices for cocktails (welcome to The Strip), but the drinks that they ordered were strong, so they were satisfied and drank away their feelings of sticker-​shock. The Riesling that I ordered wasn’t good. I like my Riesling to have a hint of fruity sweetness, but the one I received was dry and almost unbearable to drink.
Along with our drinks, we received bowls of mixed snacks. One had Asian «trailmix» and the other had wasabi flavored peas. Definitely an upgrade from the usual mixed nut bowls at bars.
Service was slow, but I can’t blame that on our server. It appeared she was the only one serving drinks to customers.
It’s an OK bar to hit up if you don’t mind paying $ 14 or more for a cocktail. As for me, I wouldn’t return.

Pretty good look at the heavy # of people walking around the Casino. staff were nice. Not the cheapest spots for drinks though

Talk about a great bar and an even greater Bartender. Ramsey is the shit. He had our whole group in fits of laughter all evening. So much so that we only intended on one drink but ended up staying until the sun was well on its way to being fully out. The Bar as well as all other aspects of this hotel are top notch. Absolutely staying here on our next visit to Vegas. We were with a group of half smokers and half non smokers, and there were zero complaints from either side about the smoke and ambiance.

Went there multiple times during our two most recent trips to Vegas. Great bar!
I am very sensitive to smoke but my husband loves to smoke cigars. The ventilation system is so great that I was able to sit next to him on a couch while he smoked two cigars and wasn’t bothered at all.
The layout of the bar makes it great for any occasion. There were several couples having intimate drinks, business people meeting and a bachelorette party all at the same time and none were a bother to the others. The music level is just right as well.
Definitely a go-​to spot for me on any trip to Vegas. Plus, the Aria pipes in good smelling air which I love.

Getting ready to paint the town and celebrate my birthday, we stopped in the View Bar to get the evening started. There were few patrons so seating was easy. A nice couch and a deep seat and the three of us settled in for a couple of beers and a cucumber martini that the mad russian (my lovely date) raved about. The cocktail waitress was very friendly and came often to chat with us and make sure we had all we needed– she even brought us some really good wasabi peas in a big bowl because she saw how much we enjoyed them. Good drinks, great service and good snacks make this a convenient little place to get your evening started in the Aria Resort.

resist the temptation to walk on by, since it’s literally the first bar you encounter upon walking into aria. but the seating is comfy and cozy. drinks are generous and well-​priced. service is so adorable, that I wanted to take her home in my pocket.
it’s a little exposed, but you do get a great people– watching position of the interminably long check-​in/​check-​out line.

Nice casual bar located in the Aria hotel. To be honest I went here thinking it actually had a view across the city! Still a good find and it’s a nice open bar with plenty of seating and some great drinks.
Just a word of warning the free snack include wasabi peas… didn’t realise what they were at first but they made us go through our drinks pretty quick when we did!

I unfortunately cannot comment on the drink quality, as we did not stay to finish ours. I am a guest at the hotel, but this might be my last and only stay here.
TL;DR: what could have been a wonderful evening was ruined by a drunk patron first verbally, then physically, accosting our group. Security response? Not on the cams, can’t do anything.
The View is a *cigar* bar in the Aria, which is why we chose to have drinks there. I know cigars are not always an appealing smell, which is why we chose this location – so we did not bother people.
Upon taking a seat in the corner my two friends lit their cigars and we ordered drinks. While waiting for them to arrive, a man sitting nearby shouted to us, first insulting the quality of our cigars then our appearance. We were put off by this, but we ignored it. It’s Vegas, and people get unruly.
He and his group moved off to another area, and we considered the event settled. A few minutes later, before our drinks even arrived, he walked over, stood over our seats, and commented on (a) the quality of our cigars, (b) our perceived income levels, and © our appearances, once again. At this point, we were shocked that there was NO response by the bar staff. He was pulled back by a friend.
A few minutes later, he came over for a second time, snatched the cigar from my friend’s hand, and threw it on the table. My other friend called for security, as this guy was being really aggressive and intimidating. STILL no security called – nothing was done until I asked the bar to send someone, which they did… eventually. He was, again, pulled back by the SAME friend.
The member of security talked to us, asked what had happened. We explained. He told us he’d discuss the situation with his superiors and get back to us. On the way out, he talked to the other group. In the meantime, our drinks were delivered, but we did not feel comfortable enough drinking them.
When he returned, the message was: we reviewed the tapes, and they caught nothing. Sorry. The security team member who talked to us was nice and did what he could – this is on the security management. We had untouched drinks, a damaged cigar, a ruined evening, and zero response from the hotel.
At an upscale place like the Aria, I really expected better. This is a huge disappointment, and completely changes my perception of the hotel.

drink before dinner… open lobby bar aria resort… view of the lobby and restaurants… awaiting others… seated solo by the bar… eyes on the television…$twelve drink specials from five pm to eight pm… complimentary bar nuts and wasabi peas to snack… dewar’s twelve year old rob roy martini cocktail $twelve…containing sweet vermouth and bitters… potent, but delicious for scotch/​whiskey cocktail drinkers… a man drink and ladies beware… bartenders courteous and friendly… lighter sweeter diva cocktail recommended for the ladies… two drinks and $thirty total…

***View Bar is a nice bar and waiting area with friendly staff; it has a great location since it is very open and right next to Aria’s front desk /​check-​in (the atmosphere is nice, bright and contemporary and it is very easy to see people at the bar and just outside of it); it makes for a great spot to wait or meet up with people***
Like most (if not all) Vegas casinos, Aria features both complimentary valet and self parking.

I LOVE THIS BAR! It’s better than the Cosmo Chandlier Bar. Less people and better service. I was with a group of 10 people and decided to check this bar out. We had a great cocktail waitress for a short time. The seating were very comfortable. We got there at 1am and stayed till closing. The drinks were great and lots of laughter. I highly recommend this bar to anyone.

As a farewell celebration for my friend, we came to View Bar to wish him a wonderful trip back to New York.
For the drinks, I’ve only had the Pinot Grigio, so nothing really to review on that end, but my friend had the Diva and it was a divine! The drinks are strip prices, so don’t be alarmed by the bill.
The place wasn’t busy to begin with, but the cocktail server was a little off. She didn’t really greet anyone, so we didn’t know if she worked there or not. When we arrived, she walked away from where we were sitting and we had to call her over to ask if we could get a little service. I also asked her to close my tab and I don’t think she heard me because she didn’t bring my bill right away until asked a second time. I mean, c’mon! It wasn’t busy or loud, so I know you heard me!
I wasn’t THAT impressed with the lounge, but on the other hand, I wasn’t in the mood TO BE impressed as it was a low key kind of night if you know what I mean. Although I wasn’t thrilled about it, I did expect to pay a little more and didn’t really want to be near the strip that night. Unfortunately, my friend was staying there and I needed to visit him as support. I wouldn’t have anyone reading my review as a total determining factor when deciding to go here, because if you’re in the mood for a night at the Aria, this place is consistent to that mood. Offers a nice, chill, upscale vibe. At the time of visit, it was just OK for me.

Some of the best cocktails I’ve had in Vegas, ever. Exquisitely crafted.
The seating looks plush enough, but we sat at the bar, watched a Giants game and the Clippers upset simultaneously.
Locals ask for Manny. He can apparently mix you anything if provided with a short three-​word description.
Any of the signature cocktails are a smart choice. Not usually a cachaca fan, but their blends evoke a chocolately finish. Mmmmm.
Finished with a non-​alcoholic ginger soda. For a clean drink, it sure tasted like it was loaded with a cheap vodka. Should have gone the route my sister took and finished with a fruit blended cocktail. Her’s had muddled strawberries. Clean and refreshing.

Top notch drinks.
Excellent service.
Comfy seating.
Good enough ventilation you have to sit right next to smoker to really notice them.
Tasty wasabi nuts to munch on.
We stopped in here for drinks before dinner at Sage and our cocktails were unique and heavenly.
My husband ordered something that came with three stuffed olives — all different flavors. He loved them. When he said so to our waitress, she brought out three more spears of olives even though he didn’t order another drink.
The only thing I question was the waitresses’ uniforms. Of the four waitresses we saw, it only fell right on one of them. They should choose a uniform that is flattering on more body types since they succeeded in making two extremely beautiful women look frumpy.

Went there to wait for colleagues to show up for a team dinner.
Set down in the chairs and watched the crowd pass the hotel lobby.
Service was very attentive and serving beside my drinks a very good variety of nuts. I ordered a nice cocktail «Arianette» (or similar). This drink was fresh and very tasty.
Good place for watching people and getting a nice drink!!!

Stop #2 on our boys night brought us to View Bar… but not because we necessarily thought of it ourselves. To be honest, it was mostly driven by the fact that we were afraid that our drunken friend from our first stop at Fontana was going to A) stop us from getting served more drinks, B) spill more of our drinks, or C) puke. Or, in a worst case scenario, all of the above. So, after deciding to bring him back to his room, we decided to just stay at Aria and keep the night rolling.
Though the TV’s by the bar will generally have sports on, it’s somewhat contrary to what the design is probably going for. Between the overall décor and the numerous couches/​sofas, View Bar is more of a plush, lounge type of spot. It’s definitely the kind of place where you can camp out for a while with friends though, and given it’s open views and proximity to the front desk, it’s a prime location for some people watching as well.
The price on their drinks isn’t too bad (by Vegas standards), and the size of their pours is pretty fair for the most part. One of my buddies also noted the solid selection of top shelf alcohol to pick from, and we got to learn a bit about some of the ones we weren’t as familiar with from the waitress. The bartenders can mix some pretty good drinks as well, but there was a bit of a mix-​up when I tried to order a drink I had just heard of. When I put in an order for a «007» with the waitress, I ended up getting a glass of Seagram’s Seven instead. I guess they sound kinda similar, but the drinks definitely are not.
Overall a good spot to kill some time, but definitely more of a mature, sophisticated type of spot. Nice place to redeem your complimentary drink coupons here as well.

All the reviews are right. This is truly an amazing hotel bar. TVs for sports events (We watched the superbowl here), gorgeous décor, tucked away enough so you dont feel exposed and on show (like at Parasol Up) but still open enough so you can look around and people watch.
Drinks were good, not crazy $$ (vegas standards), and service was quick and friendly.
Definitely would come back anytime. And free wasabi peas and craisins, and nuts!

Our favorite bar of the weekend. It was our first stop, the first night we checked into Aria, and we stopped by every night we were there. The cocktail waitress was so nice and friendly and checked up on us often and carried on great conversations with us. She told us Vegas stories and asked us every night what we did and was genuinely sweet. The drinks here are also really good! I usually only order shots, or something on the rocks, or with tonic… but seeing that the bartenders here were not only bartenders but mixologists, I had to try some of their specialty cocktails and I’m glad I did! They were really good! Definitely a great chill bar to kick back and have some drinks, and it’s really pretty too!
