| - This is my millionth time coming to Vegas and my very first time staying at the Aria for a girlfriend's bachelorette party. There were certain things I liked about the hotel and other things that slightly turned me off....
PROS:
-Location, location, location!!! Located in the middle of the strip
-Part of City Center, one of the newer 'sites' in Vegas with buildings, attractions, and amenities to admire
-As you walk into the lobby a sight whiff of vanilla greets you as well as a rather expansive lobby and waiting area
-The casino is modern, dark, with purple plush scattered about
-room service is tasty
-well decorated, plush comfy beds
-the cabanas and the service you receive when you get a cabana is awesome: pool food was delicious; our drinks were strong; & our cabana boy was extremely attentive.
CONS:
-the hotel room hallways are like a mouse maze due to the 'odd' shape of the building
-their standard room is relatively small compared to other hotels I've stayed at
-you control everything (lighting, curtains, etc) from a handheld device; sounds cool in theory, but in reality especially if you're stumbling back to the room at 3am a bit tipsy, trying to remember how to turn on the lights is a pain in the ass
-an electrical port for the iphone is apparently installed in the rooms, but for whatever reason the standard iphone/ipod cord didn't work in Aria's "iphone port." We called downstairs to ask about it and was told a provided cord that would fit into the port was available, for purchase &#$!!
-bathroom is nice but have an odd set up: facuets are one hot and one cold (our particular room had issues with the water temperature); no place to hang towels/wet clothes except for the shower door; and the tub is in the shower
This being my first time staying at the hotel I was a bit disappointed and am not sure if I'd pay to stay here again when there are so many other hotel choices along the strip.
