Me and my husband are big time fans of Aria! We stayed here three times and the last one was a week back. It has maintained its standard very well. For people who have never been lemme list the best things. It's has an amazing urban and modern architecture. Very elite. The casino is very well maintained. The restaurants have world class menu and food. I am pretty sure nothing in their kitchen is frozen. It's all fresh! The water wall feature is a must see. Their customer service is good. Rooms are the best I have seen. Considering I like modern clean touches. The room welcomes u with automatic curtain opening with music. Voila! They have the best gym on the strip( my husband swears). Location is super apt! Right in the centre of th strip. It has tram connections to bellagio.
I agree it's expensive.
One thing that bothered me this time was that in-spite of me spending easily 4 to 6 hrs in casino each day. I noticed no server came with drinks except once in three days that too with just water ! I wanted to address this to the hotel but didn't get the time. I am hoping this situation is taken care of by the management.
All in all I love this place and recommend all to stay atleast once if you visit Vegas.
