We checked in on Wednesday for a two night stay. The front desk refused to I've us an upgrade even though the hotel is half empty. We ended up paying $30 more to be upgraded to a corner suite.
The room is very contemporary, the bed is really comfortable. The soak tub was really nice, there was a nice view of the strip as you soaked in the tub. Overall the room was very comfy.
What I did not like was the pool, the glare from Aria and Vdara itself was blinding. I could hardly open my eyes while I was there. I had to leave after a few minutes because my eyes were starting to hurt. The pool was really small, could no way accommodate all the guests of the hotel.
The staff were okay, not the friendliest, they just did their job, did not really go the extra mile to make you feel welcome.
Will I go back? Maybe if I no other choice.
