| - I love Aria at first because I won $300 on a penny slot. That was a lot of pennies though it was just printed on a ticket. But stilll.................... lots of pennies.
I was excited when my company switched our conference from The Wynn to Aria as I thought I could play my Hell's Bells slot. However, it was nowhere to be found. I think they realized people won too easily on that machine and decided to ban the hell's bells to hell. Dammit!!!!!!
I still love Aria though even without the jingling of the hell's bells. It is truly one of the nicest resorts and casinos in Vegas. First off, it's new and the outside façade with the waterfall makes it so cool in the Vegas heat. The whole skyline of Aria at night seems to create an illusion that the place is massive.
It's no illusion. It is massive. Our conference has gotten so big that there are only a handful of places that is big enough to host it now. We have had it two years in a row here and we're going back next year! Yes!
For one, I like that we're coming back as I knew my way around there now. To take a wrong turn and get lost inside a Vegas resort only means that you have to walk more and develop extra blisters on your feet.
Room wise, it's pretty nice. As you came in, the blind would open revealing the Vegas strip and the TV would turn on with a welcome message. The bed and furnitures are modern and comfy. The bed at first felt too soft for me. However, I had the best sleep there! I had six nights of solid sleep because of the bed and that darkening blind. I could sleep for days!
The bathroom is also luxurious completed with marble floor. I loved showering there and the toiletries were pretty good with citrus smell. The service is pretty cool and consistent daily. They take the time to rearrange your mess and put a liner beneath every mess. They also roll your cables nice and neat. When I called for room service, the person on the other line sounded so perfect! Wow, they really got everything right. The operator for room service made you feel so important and awesome.
The food offerings inside the hotel are also fantastic. From Masa, Javier, Lemon Grass, Blossoms, Michael Mina's Bardot, Julian Serrano Tapas, the buffet, and Jean Georges Steakhouse, you won't go hungry. Broke maybe...but not hungry. The bars are also adequate. Yes, the prices at Lift Bar and Alibi are ridiculous year after year but it is close to your room.
It's also close to Crystal, the shopping mall that has the express tram to Bellagio and Monte Carlo. There are nearby CVS and Walgreens to grab any essentials and several Starbucks if you didn't want to spend big bucks for coffee and pastries at Jean Philippe.
The gym, spa, and pool... I love the gym! It's huge with tons of equipment. It also has towel service and bottled water provided for your convenience. The pools are huge and always packed. I refrained from the pool during my stay as work people swarmed this place. The spa is beautiful and very very pricy. I got a pedicure for $100 plus $20 tip. Ugh, no thanks.
However, all in all, Aria is awesome. It's new, modern, slick, and gorgeous. It's spendy though!! However, I raked in my Mlife points and Hyatt points from staying here. Maybe someday I get to pearl status so I don't have to stand in line for buffet
