Aria and City Center is a welcome new addition to the rather stale Vegas hotels and malls. Aria is a very pleasant place with a decent size casino. My room was spacious and nicely appointed, similar to Mandalay Bay - big bathroom, tub, etc. I thought the bed rivaled, no it was better, than the overly touted Westin Heavenly Bed. I am a pillow freak - there were six king size pillows on the bed which sent me into total bliss. I was there for two nights and would definitely recommend the hotel. City Center and the shops are very high end and there are a couple of decent bars and restaurants - the omni present Wolfgang Puck and a Todd English Pub which was packed both times I went. The View Bar at Aria is nice for an afternoon cocktail - my bartender was quite entertaining. Lots of TVs for sports watching. Aria is centrally located in the middle of the strip and it's a great location for getting to the other casinos. Recommended.
