First time visitor to CityCenter and Aria.
Crystals is nothing special. Very plain looking as has been mentioned many times.
As to Aria, for the most part we could hardly wait to get out of there.
We were simply uncomfortable with the design. The overall feel is busy with too many curves, lines and architectural drama.
It was very noisy with conversations floating all over the place.
We were simply not impressed with the visual busyness, like everywhere you looked there was something different design wise going on, and it was disturbing.
What stood out for me was coming down an escalator from upstairs where the Elvis theater is looking straight ahead you get the pleasure of seeing pipes and electrical boxes.
Ten billion dollars and the worlds greatest designers and architects and what is visual from the escalator are pipes and electrical boxes.
Amazing.
I myself never liked the look and scope of CityCenter when it was under construction and I like it less now that I have been there.
We're never going back, it's too big and too confusing and too upsetting to even be there.
