My friend got married here. We stayed with the brides sister & company. Or else I don't think that we could have afforded the room on our own. My first question is, what does Aria mean? I found out. It means the expressive melody. And someone told me it also means the center. The owners...MGM decided since it is located in the center of their many other properties, they would call it Aria. Then everything started to make sense to me. The design is sleek and whispy, beautiful and elegant. As you enter the front, the water fountain is so pleasing to the eye. I agree with others that the lobby doesn't have that gross smoke smell.
The rooms:
You are supposed to show your key card to the staff before you enter to the elevators. My guess is to keep the party scene down? We were located down a super long hallway. It was kind of annoying when we had to go places, especially in heels. The room itself was nice. The beds are comfortable. I liked the bathroom a lot. Frosted glass door for the toilet and see threw glass for the shower. Ooohh lala! There is a control panel next to the bed that controls EVERYTHING!!! Kind of cool.
Hotel:
The hotel has a lot of nice restaurants. My favorite was the Five50 pizza place. The wedding chapel was very lovely. Casino is to the point. My all time favorite thing about Aria's casino was the ATM machine that breaks change. I seriously wish these were everywhere when I need to break some change.
Pool:
I reviewed the pool. It is okay, not my favorite. My favorite so far is MGM, Monte Carlo and Ceasars. Just because they are so grand.
Would I stay here again, sure if I had more money. But I do plan on going back to grab a slice of pizza.
