Good times!!
I have been to the Aruba for several different events. Now this location is damn near the butt-hole of Vegas but luckily I am always there for a event where i am with a bunch of friends and 3 sheets to the wind.
This is obviously thee place to have some quirky, cool, hip,retro events.
I been here for the Atomic Frolic they had in January ..actually had a room there WHICH rooms are blahhhhhhh. You could hear everyone's biz through the walls I mean if someone cracks ass 3 rooms down..you will hear it!! The floors have cheapy 5 cents a square fake tile flooring, beds are old, sinks runs, toilet flushes some of the time..I could go on but the rooms are just fine when it is 5am and your completely waisted and everyone else you know is all staying at the same hotel.
The time I went in January it was a blast, plenty of room and seats, cool people, great friendly bartenders, nice staff it was a blast.
Second time I went was the following month for a Scooter (vespa) Rally and their night event was held at the Aruba. It was fun once again HOWEVER, The security guards did not let anyone smoke inside..which for Vegas is strange and me being a smoker (and from CA) was a little disappointing.
Anyway I am going back again at the end of the month for a HUGE 60's Soul and Garage weekender for Labor day weekend. Not looking forward to the seedy room but looking for Lots of fun and great cheap drinks and lots of memories!!
Four stars simply just for being so accomodating to all those fun retro quirky events that I like to go too and just for that ol Vegas feel.
Oh and SPA...never seen it...be cool to find it and try it.
Oh and if in Vegas dont expect a cabby to know where this place is...seriously most of them have no clue unless it's downtown or the strip.
