| - Hands down the nicest place I've ever stayed at with my girlfriend and our "Vegas Travel Crew." We stayed here for our friend's birthday and we will never forget the experience!
It started off with getting picked up at the airport by limo and we were on our way. The driver took us to the hotel from the I-15 and got off at a private driveway specifically for the Aria Sky Suites. So you get in through the private entrance and then you walk through a long hallway to reach the private lobby. The private lobby is stocked with all sorts of fun goodies from fruit, to pastries, to cheese, and other delectable assortments. The bottom refrigerators are stocked with Fiji bottled water, small GLASS bottles of Coke (you don't see those around anymore), ginger ale, Perrier, and other beverages. How does it get better? Well, let's talk about our room.
The room we stayed in was massive! We don't know how it happened but our friend who checked in for us -- well, it was under his name -- somehow got an upgrade. Magically. I say magically because we stayed here around the end of January and the hotel had only been open for about two to three weeks prior. How is it possible that he qualified for an upgrade without us even stepping foot inside the hotel and gambling one red cent? How? Magic, that's how. So yes, the lady at the front desk upgraded our two bedroom Aria Sky Suite to a two bedroom Aria Penthouse. Yeah, I said it. A fucking two bedroom penthouse! The penthouse was HELLA huge! It had a living room with a 52" LCD tv, dining room, mini kitchen, a powder room, and two huge bedrooms both with 42"LCD tv's complete with the most stunning view ever!
The only complaint that we did have was that the bathtub in one of the bathrooms somehow kept turning itself on and off. The bathtub doesn't use a knob to turn on the faucet. It has a sensor so water is only supposed to come out when you wave your hand in front of it. Oddly enough, the water kept coming out during various points through our stay. We called the front desk to have maintenance come and check on it but it didn't really help as the problem was never really fixed. But we didn't care because we were having such a good time in our penthouse!
I have recurring dreams of our stay at the Aria Sky Suites and am definitely looking forward to going back there once CityCenter has everything up and running. It's all still a work in progress and some places are open and some are not but it will definitely be something to behold once everything finally comes together.
Aria = Genius!
