MGM commissioned WET, the creator of the fountain at the neighboring Bellagio Resort & Casino, to design five fountains for CityCenter. One of two located inside Crystals features totems of ice up to 15 feet tall that slowly melt, refreeze, and change shape.

The Aria and the neighboring Daniel Libeskind'designed Crystals retail complex enclose an outdoor room. The sliverlike space, defined by the canted glazed wall behind the hotel reception desk and the shopping mall's angular glass and stainless-steel-clad planes, contains a Henry Moore sculpture.
