| - No question about it: Aria is legit.
It was between the Bellagio and Aria; pon a friend's (who had just stayed days prior) recommendation chose Aria. It was only a $10 difference.
Words that come to mind when thinking of Aria:
Sleek. Modern. Technology. Comfort. Excellent Service. Tasty food.
THE ROOM
Walking into the room, all I could do was smile. This was totally how I'd love to have my own room at home decorated in shades of brown and blue with clean lines. I can only imagine what an actual suite here would look like if our "normal" room was hitting the mark.
THE BED
Comfy!!! Best pillows ever. Not too firm, not too squishy and no annoying down feathers poking out!
TECHNOLOGY
love. love. love how technologically advanced the room was. The room is controlled via remote/tv or with the lcd screen by the bed. The home screen provides SO many options for lighting (refreshed, turn down, etc) and for the curtains. Manage the curtains/sheers with the ease of a few buttons from the comfort of, well - wherever in the room you are. AWESOME. Don't wanna fuss with a bunch of buttons? Just press turn all off and all the lights and curtains shut off/close simultaneously.
Long are the days of awkwardly placing a Privacy sign out on the door too. Now, you simply select the Privacy button on the screen (or Service if you need service: no, not THAT kind) and voile - the thin LCD screen outside your door illuminates in red with PRIVACY or in green with SERVICE.
At the desk, there's ports for nearly everything; your iPod/iPhone, computer, and USBs galore. Right there in between the overpriced snacks is a box complete with every charging cord you could possibly want in case you forgot yours.
I will say this - AT&T service is spotty here at best. I mean, no internet service, no 3G - nothing. For $15 you can, after verifying your room number and name, register for internet access. Yes, I did this and was satisfied once I had my electronic leash back in tact. ;)
SERVICE
Everyone spoke perfect English. Call me old fashioned- but speaking English is a big deal to me.
The guy who came up to deliver our room service, who upon appearance you might assume wouldn't - totally did. AND he rocked at a quick set up of a table and arranging food, along with describing everything brought up - including a few extra items - as though my requests were anticipated!
On another occasion, walking back to our room - one of the service ladies (who was just outside another room) asked us how we were doing and if there was anything they could do to improve our stay, to just let them know. SO nice AND so genuine.
TIPS
-Looking for the plug for the hairdryer, girls? Move the tissue box!
-Parking is comped which is nice to know if you're driving in.
