My wife and I headed to Vegas to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We loved the ARIA. Our first time to Vegas doesn't help us in comparing the ARIA with other casino/hotels but we're confident it's the nicest place we've ever stayed. The room was super cool. Everything could be operated by the IPAD type of alarm clock. I was surprised at how spacious it was. It didn't feel cramped. The vanilla smell of the casino was really refreshing. Much better than smelling the cigarette smoke. I read a marketing team worked on the scent of the casino for quite some time (that's crazy!).
Anyway, we really enjoyed ourselves. We fell in love the crepe place. They were amahzing! At $12 a pop I still felt like we were taking advantage of them...they were that good.
I docking one star because I didn't feel like the staff was as friendly as they could have been. With over 4K rooms I know it's hard to go over and beyond for everyone but sometimes a simple smile is nice. If the staff could take some lessons in southern hospitality I think they'd get a 5 star from me.
Regardless, it was fantastic and we would for sure stay there again....
