I stayed at Aria because my friends said that this is the newest and fanciest hotel in Vegas. Being able to get a pretty deal per night, my bf and I shared a room with another couple.
We got the the hotel around 8pm.... and was told that there were no more double rooms.. when we had requested one online (although we were told it is only a preference).... all they had were king beds left....
Meanwhile.. our friends get in at 8:15... and they somehow get the LAST double bed room......... doesn't seem right.
There was no way we could stay in a room with 1 king size bed.. for two couples? My bf and my friend's bf spoke to several people.. argued for about 45 minutes, was told that the hotel was 90% capacity and 100% capacity the next day... etc etc.. just lots of excuses.
At the end of all of it... there was some sort of compromise that made us all satisfied, including a cot in the room and a discount by the hotel. I would have rather just got what we had requested in the first place without all the hassle.
The room was pretty but nothing extravagant.. the only above the top highlight was the curtains that opened as you walked in.
The interior is very fancy with laser cut pieces, and high ceilings.
imho, I would stay at another hotel next time for the shopping and more traditional and well known vegas highlights.
