| - Myself and two friends stayed at the Aria for three nights at the beginning of March for a girls weekend in Vegas. I picked the Aria because of its location and the fact that none of us had stayed there before. Overall, we had a nice stay.
Check-in and check-out were really easy; upon arrival on Friday night at 9:30 pm, there was no one in line, so I was able to be helped immediately. A few minutes later and I would have been in a 10 person deep line which is still not that bad by Vegas standards. Check-out can be done from the room, or by dropping keys off at the front desk. The guest room elevators are not a far walk from the front desk and not that hard to find - do make sure to have your room key ready to show to the security near the elevators.
Upon entering the room, be ready for the lights to come on, curtains to open, soft music to play, and for the TV to have your name on it. They are all nice little touches, especially at night when you see the Strip light up as the curtains open. Our room, 14006, was a little hike from the elevators, but by the end of the our stay, it didn't seem that bad. The beds in the room were super comfortable and we melted into them at the end of every night. The bathroom is a good size, complete with double sinks, shower with soaking tub, and a toilet behind a frosted door. The shower was huge which made little things like shaving my legs really easy since I had plenty of room to spread out.
During our stay at the Aria, we had dinner at Julian Serrano (see separate review), partied for a few hours at Haze (see separate review), had drinks at The Deuce Lounge, and of course gambled. The Jean Philippe Patisserie (located right outside the guest elevators) looked amazing, but I resisted temptation and didn't indulge in any sweets.
Be warned that the Aria is huge, so we definitely got turned around a few times. Also the taxi stand is not right outside the doors near the front desk - you actually need to walk about 180 degrees on the sidewalk to the taxi stand. It was a tad confusing at first and, personally, not the best design. Also there is nothing that really just wowed me about the property while walking around like The Cosmopolitan does. I wasn't blown away by the Aria which is why it only gets 4 stars from me. If I couldn't stay at the Cosmopolitan on a future Vegas trip, Aria would be one of my next choices.
