The CityCenter station is located above The Shops at Crystals, and also serves other CityCenter properties such as Aria and Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas. The northern Bellagio station also serves the Vdara.[4] All of the properties served by the Aria Express are operated or were developed by MGM Resorts International.
