| - YES! I love Aria.
One of the newer hotels on the strip, Aria was an incredible venture that took years in planning.
Since my aunt travels to Las Vegas multiple times yearly as a professional gambler, she receives VIP invitations - and EVERYTHING is comped.
The hotel: catered to the stylish and hip crowd under 50, Aria was designed to impress, and be luxurious. It doesn't fail with scent machines pumping in a light fragrance, amazing bathrooms with floor to ceiling doors (30 foot ceilings) and an excellent staff with a VIP Host that was amazingly attentive.
The crowd: young, trendy, and ready to party!
The gambling: all sorts of tables and machines available, with 3 VIP gambling rooms.
Chinese people (and others) hold a strong belief in "Feng Shei" which is balance and harmony.
This hotel - and many others, were specifically designed in favor of the hotel. The entrance to the VIP Baccarat room - and the exterior of the hotel, has 2 huge, giant pillars that are in a V shaped formation, with the idea that the house will receive, and capture all monies coming into the hotel.
Notably, all seasoned gamblers I came with were familiar were very aware of this, and chose to not spend a large amount of money. And they lost.
However - this place has excellent style and energy, with several choices of dining. I loved the Vietnamese inspired cuisine, and I tend to dislike Pan Asian foods - but this was kind of amazing.
Huge Elvis statue inside, with plenty of good looking people to watch wandering the hotel.
