Aria is the sexiest, coolest hotel on the strip right now! The place is gorgeous, we loved just walking around admiring the architecture & all the mixed medium they used to stylize the place. The rooms were beautiful, and the all automatic modern touches were right up our alley. I don't know why people complain about prices. This places should be spendy! If you want to go cheap to Vegas, then you shouldn't stay here. This is a classy place and is still less than the Wynn. We loved the pool area & appreciated that a) there was a no-kids pool and b) you could get really good, high end pitches of margs for decent prices. Meaning, I watched him make a pitcher for 4 people using Patron Silver & Gran Marnier, dumping ~ 10 shots of tequila & 5 of GM, and the pitcher only cost $45. I tipped him well.
