The Light Group has announced plans to unveil four new concepts at the ARIA Resort & Casino at CityCenter in Las Vegas. The hospitality development and management company’s plans including opening a nightclub, a lounge, a restaurant and a pool lounge within the ARIA complex, which is slated to open in December.

Here are some design specifics on each of those venues:

At the Union Restaurant & Lounge, executive chef Brian Massie will offer interpretations of American favorites in a cutting-edge environment that enhances the culinary experience. Located in the epicenter of the resort’s casino floor, Union's interiors, by Adam Tihany, will allow guests to enjoy a meal within a hip and open layout. A series of strategically positioned floor-to-ceiling architectural “trees” bathed in natural tones will give the open space a greater sense of seclusion and intimacy.

The Deuce Lounge, located off the main casino floor, will fuse the elements of an upscale lounge with high-limit gaming, creating an intimate nightlife experience. Designed by Franklin Studios, the space will house numerous blackjack tables and HD flatscreen TVs.

The Haze Nightclub, designed by ICRAVE, will feature large hanging props over the entryway that will draw guests to a grand staircase transporting them to the mezzanine level. The main dance floor will peer up at a wall of interactive projection screens stretching one hundred feet across on a performance structure. Suede walls and plush surfaces will help define the weaving interior, including a unique two-story wall of lights incorporating the latest in technology coupled with a sound system designed by John Lyons Systems.

Liquid will be the resort's adult-only pool playground and outdoor refuge and is being designed by Graft. Opening in spring 2010, the al fresco space will feature 17 cabanas dipping pools featuring underwater speakers, and multiple bars.

"Our new collection at this groundbreaking project will perfectly complement our existing venues while changing the landscape of Las Vegas' hospitality scene," said Andy Masi, The Light Group’s partner and ceo.
