| - I'm giving Aria a 3.5, but chose to click on 4 stars because I stayed at Aria this past weekend and overall had an amazing weekend, so Aria must've done something right :)
The good:
-The staff is extremely nice and helpful!! From the bellboy taking our things to our room to the concierge girl and the room service.....everyone was great and made the stay really pleasant.
-The pool was great! There are a few pools to choose from, so our party chose the one without any children - Bonus! There were plenty of chairs, although we did get there around 8:30am (we couldn't sleep!). There is a nice bar right by the pools that serve really great mixed drinks and buckets of beer that aren't too ridiculously expensive. There are also massage therapists outside with massage chairs that are very reasonably priced. I was planning on getting a morning massage but forgot because I was having so much fun in the pool!
-The location was pretty central. It's right next to the Cosmopolitan so our trip to Marquee was easy, and there was a great little sushi place in the Crystal shopping area too.
The bad:
-I think that it's over-priced. The rooms really aren't that big, fairly standard if you ask me and I've stayed everywhere there is to stay in Vegas.
-The decor is lacking. I was expecting a grand lobby area but I was really disappointed, it was just sad looking with these dumb pieces of plastic paper with printed out daisies on the ceiling. It just looked so cheap. I was just really surprised with how little decoration they had considering they were supposed to be an upscale and expensive hotel in Vegas. I mean MGM is better!!!
Overall though, if I were splitting the price of the room again I would stay here. If I were paying for it myself or with my husband, I would choose a different place. For the price of Aria, you could probably stay at Bellagio which is honestly MUCH nicer, or the Venetian.
