Since I played a marthon NLH tournament yesterday, I thought I would take a minute to address a couple of seldom discussed aspects that came up during the daily poker tournament at the Aria casino. I like playing at the Aria poker room, it is well run, has great dealers, and is very comfortable to play in. If you're looking for casino action, you'll find it here at ARIA Las Vegas! We have expansive casino floor perfect for table games, slots, and tournaments. Join us on your next gaming vacation.
The Aria poker room reopened with the rest of the property on July 2, 2020. MGM Resorts operates it. It is a part of its MLife players club.
There are 24 tables at the Aria poker room. Some are in a private playing area reserved for high limit action. Partitions were installed at the tables. This allows it to offer eight seats per table. Poker is dealt 24 hours a day.
Only cash games are spread right now. The tournament schedule is paused until restrictions are lifted.
Aria offers a large selection of Texas Hold’em, Omaha and mixed games. Players will find 1/3, 2/5 and 5/10 no limit Hold’em most hours of the day. The buy-in range is $100 to $300 in 1/3, $200 to $1,000 at 2/5 and $400 to $3,000 at 5/10.
A 1/2 pot limit Omaha game often runs. It has a buy-in of $200 to $500. Players may also find mixed games of varying limits, as well as higher no limit Hold’em and pot limit Omaha ones during busier hours.
November 24, 2020 update: Aria suspended its daily tournament for three weeks due to Nevada occupancy restrictions imposed by the governor.

Aria does not take a jackpot drop. It does not offer any other promotions due to this.
The Aria poker room is comfortable. Seats are modern with comfort settings. The room is clean with newer felts and tables. Drink service is quick with many higher-end options.
