| - The Aria and City Center look like something out of the futuristic Minority Report or video game. Clean, sleek, modern, and industrial. The addition of the tram, makes it even look more futuristic. The fountains and curved waterfall frame the wonderful main entrance to the hotel. There is a nice reflecting pool that is located behind the front desk outside. It helps connect the high end mall Crystals (http://www.yelp.com/biz/crystals-las-vegas) to the Aria.
The casino space has a dark ambiance around it. The light opens up when you head towards any entrance to the hotel/casino though. I thought it was alright. Their hotel store is huge. If you can't find something in there, you're not looking hard enough. What gets you is the immense size of the project though. The hotels, casinos, resort hotels, condos, shopping mall, tram, and parking structures all pretty much went up at once. That's Vegas for you. Overnight sensations. It's really impressive.
Hopefully one of these days we'll get to stay down there. It's actually still being constructed and stores and restaurants are starting to filter into the area. So for right now, just visiting and passing though... I'd give it a sold 3 stars.
