Simply, it's swank without pretention.
After exploring the strip a bit more during my first trip to Vegas, I was delighted to call the Aria our Sin City home base. To me, it seemed like Vegas with the volume set on 6 or 7 rather than 10 or 11. Which was perfect.
Clean, modern styling, well-appointed rooms and an overwhelming sense of calm and quiet (it's all relative, right? It's still Vegas).
The view from 22nd floor suite was unexpectedly impressive. The business center staff was fantastically efficient when we needed to ship all of our shopping overflow home.
