| - My wife and I just got home from Vegas... we stayed at Aria from Friday to Sunday and we had a great time. As soon as we pulled up to the front, this hotel definitely has that WOW factor. As we stood inline, we couldn't help but over hear some people getting checked-in really quick, and a couple other people complaining about something and wanting upgrades during the time of check-in. No clue what that was all about but we were waiting for these people for a good 15 minutes. Luckily for us, the process only took less than 5 minutes. We had a friend who got there the night before and was able to upgrade us to a strip view and two adjoining rooms next to his...FREE of charge!!
The view was freakin AWESOME! I paid close attention to the decor and little details, and everything was on point design/function wise. The touch screen user panel was easy to use, but a slight inconvenience when you wanted to do a simple thing, such as turn off the tv! The highlight of the room is the bed! Super soft and plush with lots of pillows to hug your body.
We tried out their room service at 3:30am...pretty quick, convenient, and the food was surprisingly good (but a bit pricey)! I'm not sure if being drunk had to do with it, but we cleaned the plate up! What's nice is that they wheel in a table in your room and set it all up...then when you're done, you can roll it into the hall way and call the number for them to come pick it back up.
As far as the rest of the hotel, restaurants, casino floor... decor and attention to detail is pretty nice. Service and staff is helpful and friendly. One of the dealers was patient with us and taught my wife and I how to play one of the games. Lots of different restaurants to choose from, but I'll leave a review for one of those restaurants later! The tram is VERY convenient...getting to the Belagio and Monte Carlo is nice since you really don't have to go outside. The fact that its the "City Center", you really are centrally located to EVERYTHING on the strip. Cab rides were cheap since every where we wanted to go was pretty close!
Check out was quick, simple, easy and convenient... Definitely gonna try to stay here the next time I head to Vegas!
