ARIA Resort & Casino

I did a ton of research when selecting my spot for a week in Vegas. My last trip I stayed in a suite at the Venetian and had a wonderful time. This trip I was hoping for something a little more modern and less classic Vegas, and that's exactly what was offered here. The tower suites offer access to a lounge and check-in area away from the main desk. It's not as exclusive as their Sky Suites, but it's still a very nice experience. I found myself spending a ton of time in the lounge, enjoying their espresso machine, small bites, and complimentary sodas. I opted for a corner suite because the view from the bed and the tub online looked incredible. To my pleasure, these views did not disappoint in person! The room was spacious enough and finished out nicely. They do have a tablet to control everything, and I did enjoy that feature. However, the light bulbs in many of the fixtures were not compatible with the dimmer switches. So after turn down, I came back to a ton of flashing lights. It really took away from the intended relaxing ambiance. Another takeaway would be the barking dog in the room above me for 3 of the nights. The rooms are well insulated, except for the glass, and that's where the dog was standing. I had to call a few times, and two of the nights I had to use my wireless earphones to get rest. Even with flashing lights and a barking dog I still really enjoyed the room. The last less than ideal experience was when I called the day before seeing if I could extend my stay and arrive on the day of the call. I had to evacuate Florida because of the hurricane, and they were able to accommodate me, but at an inflated rate. I was glad to get in but disappointed they took advantage of the situation. The casino was perfect, restaurants were nice, and I really enjoyed the location. Overall I had a great time and next time I'm in Vegas I do intend to return to the Aria and may upgrade to a Sky Suite!

I make it a habit to stay at a new resort each time I go to Vegas. What can I say? I like hotels and there are so many options to try. Last time I stayed at their sister property Vdara, which was infinitely better. Aria was a pretty big disappointment. The room is fine. Feels a touch small, but the amenities are great. The automatic blinds, the "corner view," the tablet, the big TV. Room was plenty comfortable. No real problem in that department. But the mini-bar was ludicrously priced as usual. $18 for a bottle of water? Really? Oh, and if you want to put your own stuff in the fridge it's a $25 charge. If you even pick an item up for more than 60 seconds you're charged. Seriously. And no in-room coffee maker, which is standard in even the cheapest of hotels. I had requested a higher floor, so of course I was given the 4th floor (it's higher than the 3rd I guess). Also was given the furthest room from the elevators, which makes for a LONG walk as the building is very large. And of course the deceptive and downright immoral $44 a night "resort fee." As in "we want to advertise lower room rates so we just add this on." And $15 a night for parking if you want it, also ludicrous in a city where parking is abundant to put it lightly. Can't say I'd add this to my list to return to. It's big, the rooms are nice, but I don't like feeling like the hotel turned me over to shake out my pockets. That's the casino's job.

We went there during the holidays and of course there were so many people in the lobby and the casino areas but we pretty much expected that. We booked a corner suite and we were not disappointed. The room was huge and we had a fantastic view of the Las Vegas strip with glass windows that wrapped around one corner of the room to the other end of it. The curtains, tv, lights, etc were all managed remotely from a Tablet. The bathroom was equally large and also had its own view especially from the tub (which I didn’t use). The shopping area attached to the hotel was pretty good as well, offering the usual high-end brand names and restaurants like Wolfgang Puck’s. Expect to walk a lot , though from one end of the Hotel, to your room, or to the restaurants, but it was a small price to pay for a worthy stay.

Incredible!! rooms are beautiful. hotel is brilliant. The only complaint i have is the 18 dollar charge for a bottle of water!! Parking is super expensive too!!! Casino is great- great service and great choice of food

Hotel is beautiful inside and has comfortable beds. The hotel is also in a great location on the strip. We only stayed for one night and would have loved to stay longer. The staff was very nice during check-in and the quick, easy check out from the room was convenient.
