About

The restrooms are beautiful at Julian Serrano Tapas, a Spanish small-plates spot inside Aria Casino on the Strip. Chef Julian Serrano, a James Beard Award winner, brings Spain's flavors to Las Vegas with a menu of tapas and paella. The room is stunning, but busy and noisy during peak times. Service has been described as poor due to understaffing. The small-plates format means you'll share many dishes, and the bill can climb fast if you're hungry. Paella is recommended but requires 35 minutes of patience. For a quieter alternative, consider Mon Ami Gabi just a short walk away.

Best to go on a weeknight or earlier in the evening to avoid the rush. Desserts are also worth trying.

Julian Serrano Tapas sits on The Strip, inside Aria Casino, surrounded by Las Vegas's busiest hotels and attractions.

“Good food but poor service.”

The dining room and even the restrooms are beautiful at the new Aria Casino. I've been twice and both times it was very crowded and loud. The food is decent, but the service is lacking. It seems like there aren't enough servers, or they aren't properly trained and managed. Since the menu is mostly small plates, your bill can add up fast if you order a lot. The tapas are flavorful, and the desserts are good too. I've heard good things about the paella, but it takes 35 minutes to make so I didn't order it. Overall a nice experience except for the service.
