Well here's my review of it. The hotel is beautiful!! It has a waterfall that stretches across the front of it. The casino and hotel have the best fragrance on the strip. The horrid smell of cigarettes do not have a chance with the whatever fragrances that are being used in Aria. There's a shopping mall attached to Aria named Crystals. It has many desinger brands: Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Tiffany & Co, Bally, etc. Not your average shopping mall right?
I had room service for breakfast one morning and it was pricey of course ($40 for eggs, juice and hashbrowns) but still very tasty. We also ate at one of the restaurants, Jean Philippe. I had a turkey sandwich on a croissant, and Kenny had the cheesecake. The food was good. Nothing special though.
Everyone that works at Aria was nice and friendly. We went to View Bar, which is located in the lobby, and the bartender made a special drink for Kenny with everything he wanted in it because they didn't have what he wanted on the menu. Nice right?
The rooms were really nice and the bed were SUPER soft. Our view looked towards MGM and Monte Carlo when looking to the right. Looking out the window towards the left you could see a few places on the strip.
My Verdict: while Aria is nice and all, there's nothing spectacular about it. This type of hotel can be seen anywhere. What I mean is, it's like any 4-5 star hotel you stay at in any major city. I liked the atmosphere and the hotel, but I don't have to stay there again. I would recommend this hotel to anyone that's looking for a nice but not pricey place to stay while in Vegas. One plus about it is that it is in the middle of the strip so you have perfect access to everything!
Did I mention they gave us a $100 food and beverage credit? Awesome!
