About 2 years ago, as noted in my earlier review, I had found that the employees weren't too pleasant or friendly. I'm happy to report that, after 3 visits to Aria in this trip alone, they've pulled a total 180 and become my new favorite place to gamble.
We were fortunate to find $10 craps tables two nights in a row, which is odd considering that Aria usually has some of the highest minimums on the Strip. Both experiences were great, with all of the dealers being friendly, engaging and energetic, while David from Michigan also assisted my friend who was just learning craps for the first time. It was a great experience, and we won a few hundred bucks, which made it even better.
The next day, we returned during the morning hours where usually you run into beginner dealers or the ones who aren't as pleasant - but at the Aria, we found we had just as friendly and entertaining gaming staff at 10am as we did at 10pm the night before. Shout-out to Jamye and her dealer team running craps this morning. Even though we ended up losing what we won the night before, it was still worthwhile to have a fun experience. Much better than the lousy service and experience we had at Monte Carlo while still losing money...then it's just throwing money away at that point, right?
Long story short, Aria has some great dealers and gave us a great craps and roulette experience over the last several days. I haven't tried their blackjack because it's tough to find a shoe game under $50, but since most dealers are transient between games, I'm sure you'll find the same upbeat staff there as well. Good luck!
