The glass cases are mighty pretty, but the sweets disappoint. A case of style over substance and again, Aria is geeking vegetarian clientele at yet another eatery.
We ordered 5 cake desserts to bring to our room and we sampled all of them. Key lime, 2 Snickers cake, carrot cupcake and cheesecake. This cost about $30. Surprise! The "cakes" are really mousses. Even the cheesecake. Uh, not what we were expecting. The snickers cake was just a lot of chocolate mousse too. Ok, just warn me, will ya?
We tried coming again - for breakfast. Guess what? Jean Philippe wants to punish vegetarians too, like Sage and the Aria buffet do. There are NO hot vegetarian food options for breakfast. All the breakfast sandwiches and pannini have ham on them and the servers told me they were forbidden to remove the ham. That leaves Aria vegetarian guests who want breakfast food to either go to the $30 buffet to get some eggs without ham or wait 30 minutes in line for the worse than Denny's quality food at Cafe Vettro.
Ah well, I guess we'll have to try Wynn next time, where vegetarians are actually welcomed.
