Hidden gems of the world: Aliante Casino Hotel & Spa, Las Vegas in the USA

There are the names we know so well – The Bellagio, The Venetian, Wynn etc, but with over 100 casinos in Las Vegas we really should shed some light on some other less mentioned gems such as the Aliante. This casino, hotel and spa AAA four diamond resort in North Las Vegas is set among 40 acres with over 200 hotel rooms and suites, five signature restaurants, more than 100,000 square feet of gaming space, a new 3,500 square foot spa, pool and a 650 seat showroom. What’s not to love?

One of the leading online casinos, Karamba says Aliante is underrated but it shouldn’t be – after all the casino floor boasts 1,800 slot machines, 36 classic table games, a race and sports book and even Bingo! “It may not have the big name or the show glitziness of the big-name resorts on the strip, but a visit here will satisfy every suave desire you may have,” says Nick Heard, a spoksperson for the company.

With luxurious suites to reside in, fine dining restaurants to indulge in and a luxurious spa to wind down in, you should add Aliante to your list for your next Sin City sojourn.

Casino

As mentioned, the casino floor hosts an array of gaming options with the ever-popular blackjack, $5 minimum roulette, action-packed craps, three card poker, ultimate Texas hold ‘em, pai gow, wild 5 poker and high card flush. Friendly hosts and dealers will make your gambling experience a fun one and the bingo room, with 200 seats, hosts seven games throughout the day so be sure to get involved. Enjoy a drink in Aliante Sports Bar as you cheer your team or bet to victory or take a seat at one of the many slot machines to while away some time.

Suite

There is no shortage of deluxe rooms to reside in here, but the suites are something else. Decorated in natural tones and materials with wood and browns being integral, the modern rooms promise great views of the surroundings and plenty of in-room amenities. The presidential suite is the crème de la crème, encompassing 1,500 square feet of space across two bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms with double sinks and jacuzzi baths, and a living and dining area. With seating for six, a full bar, 60-inch flat screen TV with a Creston premium sound system, desk and gorgeous tan leather sofa, the living area offers a premium place to relax. A butler service area comes complete with a full-size fridge, double sink and is located near the bar area to offer guests the lavish experience they deserve. The bedrooms sit at either side of the suite so that they can both benefit from the west-facing views that go on for miles.

Dining

You can grab a quick bite to eat or enjoy some casual dining at the likes of The Salted Lime and TGI Fridays, but for the fine dining options, book in at MRKT and Bistro 57. Combining delights from the land and sea, MRKT sources the finest ingredients including lobster, scallop, porterhouse and prime rib – grilled, steamed or seared to get the best flavour. Pair these gourmet dishes with wines from the impressive wine list and opt for delights such as the seafood platter, which includes lobster, Alaskan king crab, lump crab, oysters, shrimp cocktail, remoulade and fresh lemon.

Head to Bistro 57 for some homemade Italian favourites and fine wines with dishes such as the classic pizzas and pastas, creamy Italian hummus, grilled steak and veal osso buco with wild mushroom risotto.

Leisure

When you’re not living it up on the casino floor you can enjoy live music at Access Showroom, Aliante’s custom designed events and entertainment space, otherwise head to ETA Lounge where you can dance the night away with friends. If a calmer date night is on the cards, then catch the latest movies at Regal Aliante Stadium and IMAX Theater.

For a more peaceful activity in your spare time perhaps the Re:lax Spa will be just what you need. With a great selection of treatments to choose from that focus on the whole body, back and shoulders, face or nails, take your pick and sit back and unwind. Relax and rejuvenate tired muscles with massages using DoTERRA oils, opt for a signature HydraFacial or grab a mani pedi and head to the pool for a truly relaxing experience.
