Take a look overhead as you’re walking through the main lobby of Aria this spring, and you’ll see colorful hot air balloons drifting under a fabric sky. That’s just part of Aria’s spring art installation, Take Flight. The lobby balloons’ baskets are made of willow, woven into birds’ nests, and sculptural birds can be seen towing the nests. Around the perimeter of the lobby, ficus trees are planted under the blue sky, whose representation is created with superlong, ribbonlike stretches of fabric—more than 4,000 feet! One of the balloons and its nest has settled to the floor, creating a fabulous spot for a cute selfie.
But there’s more to see—more balloons, whimsically decorated with flower pots, blossoms and other spring design elements in the north valet lobby. Around the property, you’ll see more than 1,000 kalanchoes providing color.
Joining the art displays around the Aria is Unexpected Convergence, a striking piece by Vegas art team Living Edge (Aundrea Frahm and Shino Mullen), made of layered mirror acrylic and silk floral that resembles a lake of glass. The piece can be viewed through May 31.
