| - I was finally able to book a room at the Aria, and it was amazing! Seriously puts all the other hotels to shame....
Check In: The check in line was long but they kept it moving very quickly. The woman was really nice and pointed out what we needed to know.
Room: Ah-mah-sing. I can't rave enough about the bed. Seriously. Try it. Lay down and I dare you to try to get up and do your activities. It's that addicting. And the pillows are to die for! I believe Aria has an order form if you want to buy the mattress/pillows. I still dream of the bed.
Aria is very high tech, they have a dash board that controls everything from the TV to the blinds. While that's nice, I'm used to turning on a switch, thank you very much. It comes to borderline creepy when they have your name lightened up across the dashboard but I digress.
The bathrooms are killer: We had a shower/tub combo and another area for the toilet. Not sure why there was a phone in there, but hey, sometimes you gotta order something when you're on the can. Water pressure is just the right amount, my friend tried the tub which was great as well. Tons of towels to use, shampoo, conditioner, etc. Loved the bathrobes!!
Housekeeping: Usually I don't review housekeeping unless they do something so outrageously stupid, which they didn't. They came at the right time, did their thing and left. I did notice that when I left my items haphazardly on the floor, they were lined up and neatly stacked when I got back. Don't know if I liked that or creeped out.
Casino Floor: You lose $$ on any casino on the strip. The floor is spacious enough so you don't feel you're suffocating. Waitresses are sparse and you have to tackle them to get a drink. Games are pretty much the same.
Decor: When you first walk into Aria, you're taken away by the design. I feel in love with the butterflies in the check in/out area.
Dining: We didn't use much of the dining except for the cafe which was delicious! All kinds of pastries, coffees that you can imagine.
All in all, loved the Aria. Yes, it's expensive and you might get a sticker shock, but it is so worth it!!
