| - Service was better here than at any other hotel i have been to in Las Vegas. Granted, I have only been to the Wynn, Encore, Bellagio, and Mirage resorts. However, I think I have a good cross-section of experience to make an informed opinion.
The limo had that new car smell that is always so inviting, and there was complimentary Fiji water inside. The chauffeur was discreet and polite. If you stay at the Sky Suites, a limo picks you up and takes you to the airport. Bell service was very pleasant and accommodating.
No line checking in....there was a party in front of us, but the wait was minimal. You know what those lines are like at the other hotels with people trying to snake you out. The front desk took care of check-in and check-out, and provided concierge service and general information. Maybe I wax on, but they were well beyond polite and cordial-they were open and caring, and genuinely wanted to help, it seemed like.
There is a lounge that you can self-serve coffee, fruit, and assorted baked goods. In the evening wine is served. The lounge closes somewhere near midnight, but you can help yourself to fruit juices, carbonated drinks, and bottled water at any time. They clean up after you, too.
We only rode the elevator once with other guests...the hotel did not seem very full. The room was nice, but not different from any other typical Aria room. However, maid service was very good. Linens, towels, and all toiletries (there were a few extra items) were always changed. The bed was turned down nightly with assorted chocolates on the pillows.
What was not to like? Restaurants in the hotel are very pricey for what you get. There is no club in the hotel, but the Cosmo is just next door. It is actually a blessing because there is no thudding bass at 3:00 am to keep you up as there is at the Wynn.
All things come to an end. It's back to reality and making enough money to do this all again! What an experience! What a vacation!
