When the hubs and I make our annual swag trip to Vegas every year we typically stay at the Palazzo or The Wynn mainly because we want a "kid free" type of place to reconnect and chill. We decided to try something new recently and stayed at The Aria. First impression? Beautiful lobby, modern, airy but MAN the check in took forever! It's really frustrating when not all of the check-in kiosks are opened and there are lines of people waiting just like you but on a happy note they did let us check in a little early without a hassle so redeemed!! Rooms are really cool, very modern feel as well. Everything is very high tech whereas you can control almost everything from an electronic control panel. Great view of the strip and the Cosmopolitan. The walk to every place on the strip was really no big deal even in 4" heels! A lot of fun places to dine, nice bar selections and restaurants as well. Pools were crowded by 10am so get there early! By our third day we found "the pool" where there weren't many kiddos so that was great too! Will we return to The Aria? Perhaps in the future we will but next year it's back to Palazzo!!!
