| - Aria is an excellent hotel all thanks to the rental car insurance. Let me explain.
For all my Vegas trips, I pretty much get a rental car, arrive at the hotel, valet the car, and I only see the car when I am checking out to head home. Why worry about drinking when you can walk or just take a cab? This way I don't have to worry about getting back to the hotel... well, at least getting the car back to the hotel.... I can't say the same for myself even if I take a cab. =)
The rooms are quite nice. Definitely in the top 2 or 3 in Vegas. The rooms are clean, the bed is soft, and housekeeping is awesome! The restaurants at the hotel are top notch (Julian Serrano is my favorite here), Liquid is great, and room service is prompt and on time.
On the last day of my stay, valet grabbed the car and unfortunately, I didn't noticed the rear passenger door had a huge scratch along the entire side of the door until refueling half way back home. Had this been my car... I would have pissed beyond belief. I am one of those people that park my car way the F out there because there are a lot of drivers who cant park right or just don't care when they open their car doors. Fortunately, I always get the insurance on the car and Enterprise took it back with no questions asked (this really should be a review for them). Trip saved!
5 star for the hotel and 1 star for Valet being horrible. Negative stars if they knew the car was damaged and didn't say anything. Split the difference and you get 3 stars. I don't mind loosing cash gambling, eating at expensive restaurants, or dropping cash on the pool parties... but the line stops when you have to drop cash to fix your car because you used valet. 3 stars might even be too generous.
