I had been looking forward to staying at Aria for quite some time. The rates have gone down signfiicantly since it openend early this year. I was able to get a great rate for two weekdays.
As per usual with casinos i recomend utilizing the valet parking. It is a long walk from the parking structure to the lobby. It is not much closer to the elevators. It is worth the few dollars you will spend tipping to use the valet.
The person working the front desk was friendly and funny. It was a relatively quick process.
The moment i walked into the room i was very impressed. as i entered the lights came on, the television turned on and the blinds opened up automatically. The rooms are of a modern design. There are a lot of dark wood and stone tones.
The television is a flat screen. Nearly all of the channels are hi definition.
Everything in the room can be controlled from the television remote control or a touch screen control panel on the night stand. This is an excellent convenient feature. When i was ready to go to sleep i just touched the master off button. All the lights slowly dimmed, the blinds closed, and the television shut off.
The bed is the most comfortable i have ever slept in. The bed wraps around you almost like a cacoon. You slowly settle in for a wonderful night of sleep.
The bathrooms look nice and are well appointed. The combination shower tub area is a nice touch.
I tend to be a hotel snob. I was expecting a good experience. Aria topped my expectations. This is my new favorite casino/hotel in Las Vegas. I did not make it to the pool area. I will save that for my next trip.
