| - My husband and I ate a late lunch at the Aria Cafe, just a few hours prior to our wedding last Saturday. I have very mixed feelings about this place.
We arrived during a slow period, with only a few families in the regular line. We showed our Sky Suite pass and we were told to wait in a separate area. It took nearly twenty minutes to be seated and the line grew behind us. The women working at the hostess station were chatting amongst themselves and very slow to communicate with the people that had joined the line. They were not giving us a very good initial impression of the cafe.
The ambiance is great. The cafe is large, with high ceilings and lots of natural light. I love the desert theme, with earth tones and cactus on the patio. The wall of rocks encased in glass is very cool too.
Our server was great- warm, friendly, attentive. Service was slow, but I felt like that was a general for the entire restaurant and not a reflection of our server.
We were starving and started with a plate of the steak nachos. It was a huge plate and the nachos were delicious. I got a club sandwich with fries and my husband had a cheeseburger. We both had iced tea.
The food was very good, however, it was also crazy expensive for what it was. We spent around eighty dollars for our meal, that would have been fair at fifty-sixty. We live in Los Angeles, travel to Vegas frequently and have just returned from London...we are used to paying higher prices...but this was just silly.
We had a nice meal and really liked Aria, but we would not likely return to the cafe on future trips.
