| - * Price: $$$. Unless you get the package via priceline and get a lucky bid. 3+ star.
* Ambiance: modern, swanky, luxurious! Certainly catering to young crowds. We did not see any family with kids during our stay. 4 star.
* Location: convenient in the middle of the strip. There is a tram taking you to the Bellagio, the Crystal shopping mall, walking distance to the cosmopolitan, the Mandarin, etc. 4+ star.
* Motifs: modern with some asian influence. Room is spacious and modern. High tech control panel. Small bathroom with double sinks. Many storages. Comfy bed but no seating area. No coffee maker in room. There is a fridge but filled with the resort ' s drinks and snacks. No personal fridge available. 4 star.
* Service: Average! We checked in early on friday morning and even though the resort was not full, we did not get in our room until 2 pm. $20 trick is no longer working! 3 star.
This is averaged to 4 star for me!
We stayed here to see Jason Mraz in concert at the Chelsea theater of the Cosmopolitan. Picked Aria since it is close to the Cosmopolitan. We paid for the deluxe city view. It is pretty nice view of the strip.
The room is spacious. We like the technology... just wish there is a table with dining in room possibility! The bathroom is smaller than other resorts in the same class but clean and modern.
There is 2 working pools, 1 jacuzzi and 1 extra pool under construction. There are plenty of lounge chairs... pretty generic... not as swanky as the cosmopolitan ' s pool or intimidating as the Cesar Palace's ones. There is plenty of sun!
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Everything is expensive. There is star buck on the promenade (2nd floor). Jean Phillips has good desert and reasonable foods. The buffet is probably the way to go if you are traveling on budget!
If you don't want to be bothered by the house keeping, make sure to turn on the privacy light by the door!
If you are looking for gambling, better off at old school joints. You will not win here!
