Catch

CATCH at Aria is the rooftop seafood and sushi spot that brings LA scene energy to the Strip—beautiful people, Instagram-worthy presentation, and food that's actually good enough to justify the hype. This is where you go when you want to feel fancy and social, with views over the Aria pool deck and a crowd that looks like they walked off a yacht. The happy hour gives you access to the space and the vibe without the full dinner commitment, which is smart because the regular prices will make your wallet cry. If you want to see and be seen while eating quality seafood, CATCH delivers.

The Happy Hour Lowdown

Happy hour typically runs weekdays from 5pm-7pm at the bar (confirm current schedule as it can shift). The specials include discounted cocktails and select appetizers, usually in the $10-$15 range for drinks and $12-$18 for food. The cocktails are creative and well-crafted, and the food specials often include items like truffle sashimi, spicy tuna crispy rice, lobster mac & cheese, and other CATCH signature dishes at reduced prices. It's expensive for happy hour, but you're paying for the scene, the location, and legitimately good seafood and sushi.

Why You're Actually Here

You're here for the rooftop views, the scene, and the Instagram content—let's be real. But unlike some Vegas spots that are all style and no substance, CATCH backs it up with quality food. The sushi is fresh, the seafood is well-prepared, and the presentations are designed to look as good as they taste. The happy hour lets you experience that without dropping $200+ per person on dinner. It's perfect for impressing a date, celebrating with friends, or just feeling like you're living your best Vegas life for an evening.

The Vibe Check

Upscale, social, and scene-y in the best way. The rooftop setting is gorgeous—open-air views, modern design, stylish crowd. The energy is lively and flirtatious; people are dressed up, looking good, and clearly here to see and be seen. The happy hour crowd is younger and hipper than your typical Aria dining crowd—locals who work in hospitality, influencers, well-dressed tourists, groups celebrating. It's not pretentious, but it's definitely a vibe. If you're uncomfortable being around beautiful people having a good time, this isn't your spot.

Real Talk

CATCH is expensive, there's no sugarcoating it. But the quality is there—the seafood is fresh, the sushi is expertly prepared, and the cocktails are creative and strong. The happy hour pricing makes it slightly more accessible, though you're still looking at $50-$80 per person minimum. The views and atmosphere are part of what you're paying for, and if you appreciate that combination of scene, quality, and location, it's worth it. This is a splurge situation, not a Tuesday after-work drink spot.

Pro Tips

Dress well—this is Aria's rooftop scene spot, not a casual bar. Think "going out" attire. The spicy tuna crispy rice is a CATCH signature and worth ordering during happy hour. Truffle sashimi is also a crowd favorite. Arrive right at 5pm if you want good seating; the rooftop fills up fast. Weekdays are slightly more relaxed than weekends when it turns into a full scene. And bring your camera—the views and presentations are legitimately Instagram-worthy without being cringe about it.

Pro Tips

Make a reservation even for happy hour—rooftop seating is limited and popular. Cocktails are creative and strong; trust the bartender's recommendations. The sushi and seafood options are the stars during happy hour. Sunset timing (spring/fall) is ideal for rooftop vibes. And explore Aria while you're there—Jewel nightclub, other restaurants, and high-limit gaming if that's your thing.
