Everything on the ARIA Las Vegas Room Service Menu and How to Order

In-room dining at ARIA Resort & Casino represents a shift in how luxury hotels on the Las Vegas Strip approach guest convenience. Unlike traditional properties where you might spend minutes on hold with a concierge, ARIA has digitized the entire experience through a sophisticated, tech-forward system. Whether you are craving a 3:00 AM burger after a night at the casino or a leisurely breakfast in bed overlooking the mountain views of the Mojave, the room service menu is designed to cater to every whim 24 hours a day.

The Digital Ordering Experience at ARIA

The central nervous system of any ARIA guest room is the sleek, bedside tablet. This device controls everything from the curtains and lighting to the room service menu.

Navigating the In-Room Tablet

When you first access the dining section on the tablet, you are presented with several categories: Breakfast, All-Day Dining, Late Night, and Beverages. The interface is intuitive, allowing guests to click on specific items to see descriptions and, in many cases, customize their orders. For example, if you order eggs, the system will prompt you for the preparation style, type of toast, and choice of breakfast meat.

This digital approach eliminates the language barriers or communication errors that can occur over the phone. Once the order is submitted, the tablet provides a real-time status update, moving from "Order Received" to "In Preparation" and finally "En Route."

Ordering by Phone

While the tablet is the preferred method, the traditional phone option remains available. By pressing the "In-Room Dining" button on the hotel phone, guests can speak directly with a coordinator. This is often the better route for guests with complex dietary restrictions or those looking to arrange a specialized "Elevated Classic" table setup rather than the standard "Express" delivery.

Breakfast Menu Highlights: Starting Your Vegas Day

Breakfast is arguably the most popular time for in-room dining at ARIA. The menu combines indulgent treats with "Smart Start" healthy options.

Signature Sweet Dishes

The star of the breakfast menu is the Red Velvet Pancakes. These are not merely flavored pancakes; they are rich, cocoa-infused stacks served with a side of cream cheese icing and fresh berries. In our experience, the portion size is substantial enough for two people to share if paired with a side of protein.

Other sweet options typically include:

Belgian Waffles: Served with whipped butter, maple syrup, and a seasonal berry compote.
French Toast: Often prepared with thick-cut brioche, infused with cinnamon and vanilla, and topped with candied pecans.

Savory Morning Classics

For those who prefer a hearty start, the ARIA Classic Breakfast includes two eggs any style, a choice of smoked bacon, pork sausage links, or turkey sausage, accompanied by signature hash browns. The hash browns are a highlight—crispy on the exterior with a soft, seasoned interior, often topped with a sprinkle of scallions.

The Breakfast Sandwich is another staple, featuring fried eggs, applewood smoked bacon, and sharp cheddar cheese on a toasted brioche bun. It is designed for durability, making it an excellent choice for the "To-Go" style delivery if you are in a rush to catch a flight or a conference session.

Health-Conscious Selections

Recognizing the "Stay Well" philosophy of many of its rooms, ARIA offers:

Egg White Frittatas: Loaded with spinach, roasted tomatoes, and mushrooms.
Steel-Cut Oatmeal: Served with brown sugar, raisins, and a choice of milk (including almond and soy alternatives).
Greek Yogurt Parfaits: Layers of honey-infused yogurt, house-made granola, and fresh tropical fruits.

All-Day Dining: From Comfort Food to Fine Dining Favorites

Available typically from 11:00 AM until late evening, the All-Day menu is a compilation of American favorites and dishes inspired by the resort’s acclaimed restaurants like Catch and Jean Georges Steakhouse.

Starters and Appetizers

The appetizer selection is designed to bridge the gap between a light snack and a full meal.

Chicken Wings: Usually available in Buffalo or BBQ style, served with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing. These are consistently crispy, even after transport.
Shrimp Cocktail: A Las Vegas classic, featuring jumbo chilled shrimp and a spicy horseradish cocktail sauce.
French Onion Soup: A rich, beefy broth topped with a thick layer of melted Gruyère cheese and a toasted crostini.
Tuna Tartare: For those seeking a lighter, more refined option, this dish often features avocado, soy-ginger vinaigrette, and wonton crisps.

Entrees and Main Courses

The main course section covers a wide spectrum of cravings:

The ARIA Burger: A half-pound of premium beef (often a brisket/short rib blend) topped with caramelized onions, bacon, and white cheddar. It is served with a side of sea salt fries or a small green salad.
New York Strip Steak: Typically an 11-ounce or 12-ounce cut, grilled to order and served with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus.
Atlantic Salmon: Pan-seared and often served over a bed of quinoa or sautéed greens with a lemon-butter sauce.
Ramen and Noodles: Catering to international guests, ARIA often includes a high-quality Shoyu or Tonkotsu ramen with pork belly and a soft-boiled egg.

Artisanal Pizzas

ARIA’s in-room kitchen utilizes high-heat ovens to produce pizzas that rival dedicated pizzerias. Options usually include:

Margherita: Fresh mozzarella, basil, and tomato sauce.
Pepperoni: A generous layering of spicy pepperoni and aged provolone.
Vegetable: Topped with roasted peppers, olives, mushrooms, and onions.

Late-Night Cravings: The 24-Hour Menu

Las Vegas never sleeps, and neither does ARIA’s kitchen. Between 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM, the menu shifts to a "Late Night" selection. While more limited than the All-Day menu, it focuses on high-fat, high-carb "hangover cures" and easy-to-eat comfort snacks.

Common late-night items include:

Breakfast All Night: The ability to order the ARIA Classic or pancakes at 3:00 AM.
Chicken Tenders: Served with honey mustard or ranch.
Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup: The ultimate comfort pairing for a quiet night in.
Quesadillas: Large flour tortillas filled with melted jack cheese, peppers, and a choice of chicken or steak.

Beverages and the In-Suite Mini Bar

The room service beverage menu is extensive, though prices reflect the luxury setting of the resort.

Non-Alcoholic Drinks

Fresh Juices: Orange, grapefruit, and "Green Machine" vegetable blends.
Coffee and Tea: ARIA uses a signature blend for its drip coffee. Large carafes are available, serving approximately 3–4 cups.
Smoothies: Berry and banana-based smoothies are popular as a meal replacement.

Alcoholic Selections

The liquor laws in Nevada allow for 24/7 service, though ARIA may have specific restrictions on certain types of spirit sales between 2:00 AM and 8:00 AM depending on current local ordinances.

Wine by the Bottle or Glass: A curated list of Chardonnays, Cabernets, and Sparkling Wines (including Moët & Chandon).
Beer: A mix of domestic staples (Bud Light, Michelob Ultra) and craft imports.
Spirits: Full-liter bottles of Grey Goose, Hendricks Gin, or Casamigos Tequila can be ordered for the room, though they come at a significant premium compared to retail prices.

A Note on the Mini Bar

Every room at ARIA features a weight-sensitive mini bar. It is important to distinguish between mini bar items and room service. Moving an item in the mini bar for more than 30 seconds will automatically charge it to your room. If you want fresh ice or specific mixers, it is better to order them through the tablet via room service.

Understanding the Costs: Fees, Taxes, and Gratuity

One of the most frequent complaints from Las Vegas guests is the "sticker shock" when the final bill arrives. In-room dining is a premium service, and the pricing reflects the labor required to transport food across a massive resort.

Based on current operational standards at ARIA:

Menu Price: The base price of the food item.
Service Charge: Usually an 18% to 20% charge is added automatically. This charge covers the operational costs of the in-room dining department.
Delivery Fee: Often a flat fee (ranging from $5.00 to $10.00) is added to every order regardless of size.
Sales Tax: The Clark County sales tax (currently around 8.1%) is applied to the total of the food and the service charge.
Additional Gratuity: There is often a line for an "Additional Tip" on the digital or paper receipt. While the service charge is already included, many guests choose to add $2.00–$5.00 for the person who physically brings the cart or bag to the door.

For a simple breakfast of pancakes and coffee, a $35.00 menu price can easily become $55.00 to $60.00 after all fees are calculated.

Service Options: Express To-Go vs. Elevated Classic Service

In recent years, ARIA has introduced two distinct ways to receive your food, allowing guests to choose based on their needs for speed or ambiance.

Option 1: Express "To-Go Style" Service

This is the default for most smaller orders or those placed during peak hours. The food arrives in high-quality, eco-friendly disposable containers inside a branded ARIA paper bag. The server will hand the bag to you at the door.

Pros: Faster delivery times; no need to clear a large table later; easier to eat if you are working at the desk.
Cons: Lacks the "luxury" feel; steak or delicate items may continue to steam in the box, slightly affecting texture.

Option 2: Elevated Classic Service

This is the traditional "white tablecloth" experience. The food is delivered on a rolling heater cart, plated on china with real silverware and glassware. The server will often enter the room, set up the table by the window, and remove the plate covers.

Pros: Perfect for romantic dinners or special occasions; keeps food at the optimal temperature.
Cons: Higher expectations for gratuity; requires you to call the staff later to remove the cart from the hallway.

Pro-Tip: If you have a specific preference, do not leave it to chance. When ordering on the tablet, look for the "Special Instructions" box or call the dining extension to request a full table setup.

Hospitality Events: Room Service for Large Groups

For guests staying in ARIA’s larger suites (such as the Two-Bedroom Sky Suites or the Executive Hospitality Suites), room service can be scaled up for parties of 8 or more. This is handled by the "In-Suite Catering" or "Hospitality" team.

Buffet-Style Options

Large groups can order "Breakfast Buffets" or "Afternoon Breaks" which include:

Continental Buffets: Pastries, fruits, and coffee.
Taco Carts: A DIY taco station with various proteins and salsas.
Carving Boards: Whole roasted tenderloin or turkey, carved in-suite by a dedicated chef (for an additional labor fee).

Hospitality Fees and Policies

For these larger events, the rules change:

Service Charge: Often a flat 20%.
Set-up Fees: Fees ranging from $50 to $300 depending on the number of guests.
Lead Time: Orders for more than 8 people usually require 72 hours' notice to ensure staffing and ingredient availability.

Tips for the Best ARIA Room Service Experience

Having stayed at ARIA multiple times, we have identified several ways to ensure your meal is as good as possible.

Timing is Everything: Peak breakfast hours are 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM. If you order during this window, expect a 45–60 minute wait. Ordering at 7:00 AM usually results in a 20-minute delivery.
The "Sky Suite" Advantage: If you are staying in the Sky Suites, the concierge can often expedite room service requests or help you order items from restaurants that aren't strictly on the room service menu.
Utilize the "Take-Out" Feature: The tablet often has a "Take-Out" button. This allows you to order from places like Posh Burger or Moneyline Pizza and pick it up yourself. This avoids the delivery fees and service charges, saving you 20-30% on the total cost.
Check the Order Upon Arrival: Before the server leaves, take a quick peek in the bag or under the covers. Las Vegas resorts are massive; if they forgot your side of bacon, it could take another 30 minutes for them to return with a fresh one.
View the View: ARIA’s floor-to-ceiling windows are its best feature. Clear the desk or the small table by the glass before the food arrives so you can enjoy your meal with the best seat in the house.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is room service at ARIA available 24 hours?

Yes, ARIA offers 24-hour in-room dining. However, the menu changes throughout the day. The full All-Day menu is typically available from late morning until 11:00 PM, after which a more limited Late-Night menu takes over.

Can I order food from Catch or Carbone to my room?

Generally, no. ARIA’s room service has its own dedicated kitchen. While some dishes are "inspired" by the on-site restaurants, you cannot order the full menu from specific celebrity-chef restaurants via the standard room service tablet. However, some restaurants offer their own "to-go" services which you can pick up.

How do I get rid of the room service cart when I’m finished?

If you had a "Classic Service" delivery with a rolling cart, you can simply push the cart into the hallway outside your door and press the "Privacy" button on your room controls to "Service Room" or call the in-room dining extension. The staff patrols the hallways regularly to collect used carts.

Are there vegan or gluten-free options on the ARIA menu?

Yes, the tablet menu explicitly labels items that are gluten-free, vegan, or vegetarian. The "Smart Start" breakfast section and the salad section of the All-Day menu offer the most variety for guests with dietary restrictions.

Can I use MGM Rewards points to pay for room service?

Absolutely. You can charge the room service to your room folio and then, upon checkout, use your MGM Rewards points (formerly M life) to pay off those charges.

Summary

In-room dining at ARIA Las Vegas is a high-end, seamless experience that fits the resort's "Smart Design" ethos. By utilizing the in-room tablet, you can browse a diverse menu that ranges from casual $20 snacks to $60+ steak dinners. While the costs are high due to the mandatory service charges and delivery fees, the convenience of eating high-quality food while looking out over the Strip is a quintessential Vegas luxury. For the best experience, aim for "Classic Service" if you want a formal meal, or use the "To-Go" option if you are prioritizing speed and efficiency.
