| - Sad to say the ARIA is a 'try hard' modern, classy, simple, but techy hotel! There's a wannabe iPad thing by the bed to control the TV, lights (both in the guestroom AND bathroom), curtains, etc. You can set the alarm to turn on all the lights and open the curtains too. Now that's something i could get used to! :)
The rooms have this grand entrance when you walk in: EVERYTHING turns on! All the lights, the TV, and curtains are all on and open. Fancy! The technology in this room can be a bit challenging.. and sometimes the iPad next to the bed lags. It would've been nice to have an outlet next to the bed to charge my phone.
It has a romantic feel so I'd definitely recommend this place as a couples getaway destination (my king room can fit 2 people comfortably, 4 would be pushing it!) Personally for me? It feels so far away from everything happening in Vegas. It's not as busy as the other casinos, and there's really nowhere to really just grab a bite - everything is sit down.
The neat thing is there's an AV panel in the room - so you can connect your iPod/iPhone, HDMI, USB, and audio stuff - the catch? You have to have your own cables (or you can open the weighed box on the counter they'll probably charge you like $50! lol). So, bring your cables from home if you want to hear your own music - this was a huge disappointment for me because I have so much music on my phone and couldn't play it.
Oh! .. and wifi is included with the daily resort fee :) Room service staff is great, everyone was friendly - anyone that passed me in the hall seemed to follow the 10/5 rule. The staff at the front counter could've lightened up though - when i checked in and out, they were way too serious... they should smile more :) :) haha.
On another note - their pool party LIQUID is super FUN! They gave us comp champagne when we went, and the day beds are comfy!
