Aria’s New ‘Zarkana’ Packages Blend Spectacular Dining and Theater

In celebration of Las Vegas’ newest Cirque du Soleil spectacular Zarkana, ARIA Resort & Casino is offering three unique dinner-and-show packages. 

Named for Zarkana’s elusive characters, “The Jovian,” “The Lia” and “The Zark,” each package includes a prix fixe menu from the resort’s award-winning restaurants before the show. Guests will then witness extraordinary acrobatics from premium orchestra seating while enjoying a complimentary “Zarkgria,” a Zarkana-inspired Sangria.

ARIA’S THREE UNIQUE PACKAGES INCLUDE:

• THE JOVIAN – This delightful deal is named after the extraterrestrial creatures inhabiting the planet Jovia, with choice of dinner at Julian Serrano or Lemongrass. Starting at $128 per person.
  • Julian Serrano – Award-winning Chef Serrano’s eponymous Spanish tapas restaurant offers three courses spotlighting his native fare. The meal starts with Traditional Spanish Chicken Croquetas, followed by Crispy Chicken Breast Roulada with sautéed potatoes and pork chorizo. To finish, Churros dipped in red-pepper chocolate sauce are served.
  • Lemongrass– The Strip’s first Thai restaurant features a three-course menu including Vegetarian Spring Rolls; Green Curry Chicken with Thai eggplant; and Bua Loi, a traditional sticky rice flour dumpling with warm coconut milk for dessert.

• THE LIA – Fall in love with this package inspired by Lia, Zark’s former assistant, but above all, the love of his life. Restaurant choices include dinner at AMERICAN FISH by Michael Mina, barMASA, Blossom, Sage or Sirio Ristorante. Starting at $138 per person.
  • AMERICAN FISH by Michael Mina – Celebrating America’s culinary traditions, Michael Mina’s ARIA restaurant serves up twists on classic dishes such as Shrimp & Grits with jalapeño and ham; Cornmeal-Crusted Rainbow Trout with morel mushrooms; white asparagus and artichokes; and Mascarpone Cheesecake for dessert.
