When my friends suggested the Aria for a bachelor party weekend headquarters I was skeptical. I assumed the price and the ambiance would not be conducive to a wild Vegas weekend. Boy was I wrong. The suite was very affordable when divided among the people staying (which may have been over the recommended capacity) and well appointed much like a furnished flat. The view from the wraparound floor-to-ceiling windows was fantastic and the blackout curtains kept the eye melting post inebriation sunlight at bay. The wet bar area with refrigerator was a great touch and was well used from the time we arrived until the time we departed. Our hosts even provided our group with a bar kit for mixing.
The pool area was what you would expect from a Vegas resort of this caliber: beautiful people and fruity drinks. There are multiple pools which always seem to be busy and restaurants adjacent so you don't have to get out of your bikini to have a snack.
In the lobby I suggest getting a drink at the View Bar. As the name implies it is a great place to people watch, hang out and actually be able to have a conversation. My friends love the evening bartender Manny who mixes drinks using fresh fruits and ingredients.
