ARIA Hotel & Casino

Do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere. We were here last year for a conference, same thing again this year and boy… the standards have dropped!
Dirty mirrors, filthy and dusty night stands, pages missing in the welcome book, notepads weren’t replaced from the guests before and room charges from the mini bar while we couldn’t even open the bar due to the tablet freezing up constantly!
But I must add that everyone was always nice and the restaurants in the Hotel are pretty good.

We stayed here for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. It’s our first time in Vegas together and this hotel is perfect for young couples looking for a higher end experience. Be forewarned this place has some price gauging like all hotels on the strip (no coffee in the rooms) but the rooms are beautiful. We didn’t upgrade to the strip view and don’t think we missed out. Beds at extremely comfortable and the bathrooms have a tub and shower that are luxurious! Hotel has alot of great restaurants but there pricey!!! We didn’t eat much in the hotel but the location is perfect for walking the strip which we did everyday! The pools are definitely more hanging out– not swimming laps pools. Everyday we went down to save lounge chairs when we woke up with a towel and magazine and then came back hours later to enjoy sitting in the shade. You don’t need to reserve a lounge chair as it costs money and is in the sun. Gym is huge and wonderful! Fresh fruit daily which we happily stocked up on.
Concierge was so helpful when we had an issue. They helped us book tickets before we arrived which was done incorrectly. They had great recommendations for restaurants.
Overall wonderful place to stay and highly recommended!

I have stayed here many times! It’s a great hotel and the staff is so well trained!
The location is great and parking is easy. There is a lot todo there. I loved the casino and had a great time!

After lots of looking at all the options for hotels for our trip to Vegas, we decided to book at the Aria Hotel & Casino based on the higher average reviews. As far as I understand, Aria is one of the newer hotels and has a great location on the Vegas Strip. We were within walking distance to most of the major attractions and points of interest. For those unaware, Aria sits slightly back off the strip between The Cosmopolitan and Monte Carlo and is across the street from Planet Hollywood.
Due to our delayed flight, we were very late checking in (like midnight or later). The check-​in was quick and easy and all the staff were friendly. When we walked into the room, I was surprised as to how nice it actually was (not that I expected it to be bad). I wondered if we hadn’t been upgraded since our room was larger than expected and had a large glassed in shower and soaking tub.
The hotel has tons of restaurants, shops and bars to choose from. The casino was huge and had all the games you would expect to see.
The décor is very artistic with a blend of many different styles but doesn’t have a ‘theme’ as most of the other hotels. It just has a museum of modern art feel to it. Our room also was one of the most technologically advanced rooms I have ever seen. Everything from the lights, TV, air conditioning, and even the curtains are all controlled remotely from an iPad like device. The hotel also seems really well built because I didn’t hear a single noise from any of the surrounding neighbors. Also, the bed was probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on in a hotel room.
My only complaint really is about the resort fees. They are mentioned only in the fine print and are a great way to screw guests out of an extra $ 35 a day. Unfortunately, fees like this are becoming so common and lots of places are doing it.

So if you look at my other reviews, you’ll notice I’m pretty generous with my critiques and stars. You’d have to commit a major offense to get a 1 star rating from me… Aria achieved that with flying colors right when we arrived for a girls weekend.
We check in and this seems to go well, with the front desk clerk telling me that our room will be ready in a «couple of minutes» because «they’re just finishing up cleaning it» but he proceeded to tell us that we are on the 16^th floor, he will just text me the room number. He gave us 4 keys that he said would automatically be programmed for our room.
Given that the room will be ready in a «couple
of minutes» we didn’t want to leave the hotel to explore the strip or find a place to eat. Logic told us that since we were getting our room asap, it would be awesome to just get our stuff from the bell desk asap to freshen up before we did anything crazy.
We went to the 16^th floor expecting there to be a bench or sitting area near the elevator (there wasn’t). We waited and waited but no text.
That was fine so we opted to go to the promenade area where there was a Starbucks, I even told my friends to see what the pool situation was like while I waited at the Starbucks with some of our stuff. Still no text. It was becoming clear that the «couple of minutes» was BS.
After what seemed like forever of frustration — waiting, calling the front desk to see what our
room number was, telling us we didn’t have a room yet, putting us on hold, telling us we were not on the 16^th floor so where did we get that info, putting us on a longer hold, speaking with the manager, and getting an apology for the miscommunication — we got directed to the 24^th floor. They told us the keys we already have in our possession were programmed for our new room (a higher floor, yes, but not an upgrade).
We go to the 24^th floor, and by this time it’s an hour and a half after check in, and of COURSE our keys don’t work. So we go downstairs to the front desk, where they gave us new keys. Wtf right now. How many more runarounds are we going to go through in this hotel.
It was such a sour beginning to what was expected to be a pretty sweet trip. After that everything about the Aria annoyed us, from the bell desk taking their time delivering our belongings, to the fact that Lyft doesn’t pick you up where valet is, you have to go to the back of the hotel.
We were told that the hotel was completely full which resulted in this little snafu. But here’s the thing … If the first front desk person just told us that, then we could have used the first two hours to do something with our time rather than waiting on their text and calling management. Telling us it’ll be a «couple of minutes» was a poor choice on their part and could be fixed with some serious training.
The employees here have to be aware that almost all their guests are coming to Vegas from far away locations and have a limited time there. If the rooms not ready, don’t cover your ass and say one will be available soon. Maybe recommend a place to eat or wait while you guys get everything together. Or if you know you’re fully booked, let your waiting guests know via text or phone call that it’ll take longer for the room to be ready? So many ways to avoid a frustrating situation and Aria failed miserably.
Needless to say, I won’t be returning here anytime soon.

I have stayed at the Aria several times and by far this was the worst experience ever. It started off great. I did mobile check in and got my room in minutes. Room was fine except for some of the light switches not working. The high tech rooms seem to breakdown a lot faster than regular rooms at other hotels. Conference Center is nice and easy to get to even though it is down a very long hall.
On my last day at the hotel, I went to the hotel gym. When I got back, I was locked out of my room. Thought maybe me key just go deactivated. So I went downstairs and talked to a security guard who helped. He called someone to get me back in my room. Security finally showed up after I call the operator and ask where security is. Security can’t get me into my room either. Another hotel staff comes by and calls someone and they say I need to go the front desk.
So I go to the front desk and talked to the manager. Turns out overnight, they tried to run my credit card and it was declined several times. The manager was not outrightly rude to me but her demeanor showed it. It was if I was a common criminal trying to run out on my bill. I have a long history at the Aria and other MGM properties so she should have been a bit more accommodating.
So I have to get special permission to be let back in my room to get my ID and credit card to prove I am not trying to run out on my bill. Security lets me in and I get my ID and card. I then go back to the front desk where they run my card with no issues. The front desk clerk says because I did mobile check in and they did not run my card manually at the front desk, the overnight charge was declined.
Seems that if they are going to continue to use this mobile check in, they should get their credit card processing working properly. Also, if they had tried calling me in my room or on my cell phone, I could have easily taken care of this. Instead I have to run around the hotel working with security and the front desk when I was in a hurry to get to my event. And I would not have had to deal with a rude front desk manager.
I did eat lunch at the pool bar one afternoon and it was not bad. You order with the cocktail waitresses and someone else delivers your food in a bag. I guess the food is made elsewhere on the property. I had the falafel plate. It had lots of good stuff on it — hummus, Greek olives, salad, pita. That was one bright spot during my stay. Except it was way too hot outside. Not sure how people bake in the hot sun when its 110 outside.
I will never, ever stay at the Aria again. If I have another event there, I will stay next door at the Cosmopolitan where I can get Marriott points anyway.

Ten minutes just in pulling into the garage. Leaving, well that even gets better (insert sarcastic font). Eighteen minutes on line to just pull out of the garage. This was yesterday, a Tuesday afternoon. I met friends for lunch who were staying at Aria.
Let’s get this straight. I must wait a total of thirty minutes for parking, pay for parking just so I may go into the establishment and spend more money. Scratching my head.

2.5 stars
This hotel is huge so take some time to familiarize yourself with where everything is, otherwise you’ll be walking in circles. While the hotel itself is very modern and chic I have to say that I expected more. The first thing that irked me was the sign by the personal fridge that said that there were sensors inside the fridge and that if anything was removed for longer than 60 seconds it would be added to the bill. Really? For the amount of money they charge for a room I don’t know why they would think that such precautions are necessary… then again this is Vegas. You also can’t bring any snacks from outside to fit in the fridge so don’t buy anything to eat for later that needs to be refrigerated Oh, and $ 8.75 for a bottle of water. Unfortunately we had to go across the street to the shops and stock up so that we wouldn’t end up spending $ 100 on water by the end of day 2. Water pressure in the shower was nonexistant and the temperature was lukewarm at best, and no free coffee. :(Wifi was free which was a pleasant surprise considering they charged for everything else…
Checkout is supposed to be seamless — in fact, you can just email them to let them know your room number and that you are checking out and you are done. However, I’d advise to look over your bill before checkout — my friend realized that some random person had tried charging a meal to her room from a restaurant within Aria the night before she left. She had to wait in the long checkout line but it was taken off her bill without an issue.

A nice hotel with a lot of high tech amenities. Cool but I like a clean basic room. The floor to ceiling windows are really nice. It makes an already large room a lot larger. Bathroom is spacious. The tub is in the shower which I thought was a little strange.
Check in was quick and efficient even though they had a line. My room was not ready yet but I got my card keys so I could check out the pool and use some of the other amenities. I got a text message when my room was ready which I thought was pretty cool. Bell staff is really friendly and very efficient. After calling down for my bag, it was delivered to my room within 10 minutes.

More low key and chill than the Cosmo next door, this beautiful, new hotel has got some good features and makes for a comfortable stay.
My friends stayed in a more generic-​colored room, but I stayed in a pretty single bedroom with purple curtains, turn down service, and bedside chocolates everyday!
I recommend you stay away from the tapas place, and check out JG Steakhouse and Jewel night club as they have just re-​opened the club that used to be Haze. There’s Five50 pizza (by the slice, too) for your late night needs.
To get to the Aria, take Harmon Rd and follow the sign in the right hand lane. This place loses a star for making people pay for parking though; the first 4 hours will cost ya a flat rate of $ 18 if you aren’t a hotel guest. M Life, you’re losing me on that one.

I try to stay at a different hotel/​casino every time I go to Las Vegas. This time was no different. Thanks to my high-​rolling mother, I snagged a Tower Suite on the 9^th floor (pictures to follow shortly, as I took them with my real camera instead of my phone to do the room and view justice).
CHECK-​IN: maybe it’s the «new» thing, but the lobby features a mobile check-​in station that didn’t ever appear to have anyone using it. It seems as most people chose to do it the old-​fashioned way and wait in the mile-​long line at the front desk. For the high-​rollers and higher-​tiered MLife members, there is a special, secluded Tower Suites lounge that provides you with a convenient, no-​line check-​in process. There are numerous comfortable chairs and couches, tables, and a refreshment bar with soda, water, juice, coffee, and pastries. For those of us travelers who literally step off the airplane and go straight to the hotel, there is an actual powder room (no toilet) that has a sink, various toiletries (mouth wash, lotion, face towels) available to freshen up.
LAYOUT: as with most casinos for me, it takes me a minute or two to gain my bearings of the casino. The signs in the Aria are actually pretty helpful. I was able to find the elevators in a timely manner and, thankfully as an added security measure, there is an employee in front of the elevators checking to make sure people who pass have a room key.
ROOM: my review won’t due it justice. Mind you, I only experienced a suite. The suite featured 1.5 baths, the full bath including a spacious shower with sitting area, private toilet with warmed seat and bedet, two sinks, a vanity mirror, large closet, Jacuzzi, telephone, and television. They stock your bathroom with the necessary toiletries and then-​some: shampoo/​conditioner, oatmeal soap, dental kits, Gilette shaving gel, razor, lotion, bathrobes, and slippers. There is an «office» area with desk, chair, and various ports for your electronics. But the absolute BEST part of the room? The two tablets they provide you with that control everything, and I do mean everything, you could think of from the lighting to the drapes, the TVs, music, temperature, room service, and whether or not you need maid service.
RESTAURANTS: I’m going to use separate reviews for the eating establishments.
Overall, a very nice hotel and casino. The customer service could use a little overhaul in comparison to other casinos, but I would definitely recommend this one:-)
Unilocal Challenge #20/​100

I really like almost everything about the Aria (Todd English being the exception, see review!) I haven’t stayed here at the hotel yet, so this is a review on pretty much everything else. All the reasons to come:
–the mall-​its huge and smells good. Visually it’s artsy and it’s extra clean. The stores are all high end so for me, it’s a nice air conditioned space to walk thru to get to the Aria.
–the casino– they always have fun slots which are what I love to gamble on. I won $ 550 so I think the casino is lucky! It’s a great, open space with good cocktail service. MLife players card will only help you, so sign up!
–the restaurants– with the exception of the below par service at Todd English, i love the food offerings at the Aria. The buffet is great and also the chocolate shop is great for souvenirs. I even got a birthday cake for a friend there and it was beautiful (review to follow). I also ate at five50 the pizza place which was really good but had terrible service.
–The location– it’s at a great space on the strip close to other great hotels like the cosmo, bellagio, monte carlo, etc.
The hotel staff has always been nice and helpful. The whole hotel is super classy, clean and inviting. You should definitely come visit!

The hotel room I stayed in was pretty nice with a really beautiful view of the strip. The room was really clean when we received it and fully stocked! House keeping were pretty quick in helping us get more towels and slippers! Room service for late night dessert was really good too! The only reason this isn’t a complete five star would be the check in part. We arrived from the airport right around checkin time hoping to get our room to get settled and all before we set out for all our Vegas festivities but we ended up waiting in a super long check in line and also after that we were told our room want available yet so we had to wait another hour or so and leave our luggage with the front desk and when it’s ready they’ll text us the room number and they do the rest. I mean I arrive at check in time to hope to get my room so I can rest but I guess not…

This will be my first and last time staying at Aria. It started from check-​in and went downhill from there. The heavily advertised, oh-​so convenient mobile check-​in kiosks were closed and the line was ridiculous. Over 30 minutes to check-​in is absurd and no one was around to assist with our luggage. My TSA security line was shorter than Aria’s check-​in line.
We finally walk to our room which took another 15 minutes. Our room was like a mile from the elevator. Poorly designed. I open the door and at first glance, it’s a nice contemporary room. I turn on the light to the bathroom and there is a huge wad of hair on the floor. Closer inspection revealed hair in the sinks and shower. Disgusting! But, we’re exhausted after a day of delayed flights and an absurd check-​in experience. I figured I’d deal with this in the morning.
I wake up the next morning and just so happen to pull the bed sheets all the way back. There are blood stains on the sheets at the foot of the bed! I’m thoroughly disgusted!
Our room was next to the pool and a club because from 12PM to well into the wee hours of the morning all I hear is the thumping bass of loud music. I literally had to wear headphones and cover my head with a pillow to silence the bass.
The food was mediocre and overpriced at every restaurant we visited on the premises. 50Pizza… soggy middle and charred, unedible crust. $ 80 for two pizzas. Aria Café… basic cafeteria food. The Breakfast Buffet… underwhelming. How do you mess up breakfast? You have an angry omelette chef and the lack of a griddle for hot pancakes and waffles.
Overall… this has been my worse Vegas hotel experience ever. And I owe it all to Aria Resort and Casino.

We didn’t actually stay here this trip, but used the casino portion as a base while we waited for our friends to arrive.
What a gorgeous hotel, this is one of the newer MGM properties, so it’s a MLife rewards club.
We played VP at the bar, the payout isn’t as great as Fremont (which is to be expected) I believe JoB was ⁹⁄₅. We were getting murdered so we walked past the table games. Aria has 6 deck and double deck BJ, all I believe were $ 25 min — hard pass
Slots it is! We played QuickHits and many themed ones, all about even to what we put in.
We won $ 180 on the Megabucks machineon a $ 1 slot betting 2 lines. That was awesome since we were down from VP!
The drink service is pretty fluid. It was hard at first to find any CWs, but once we found one, they kept coming back. It was still 11 am, so we had to pace ourselves and just got Vodka and Club, but I’ve heard they make pretty good chocolate martinis and mojitos.

This is my first time staying at the Aria and I am very impressed. My man wanted to get a big suite and decided on the Tower Suites Executive Hospitality Suite. It’s 2,000 sq ft has a nice master bedroom with a 2 sink bathroom, jetted hot tub, steam room/​shower and a bidet toilet! The living room is huge and is connected to the bar area. It also has a conference room with a 12 seat conference table. Why he decided on a suite with this perk I still question since we were on a non business trip, lol! The view is amazing and wraps around the entire suite!
I really enjoyed all the space we had and what is also great at staying at a suite like this is the customer service is even more phenomenal then it already is! Aria had a chauffeur pick us up at the airport in an SUV and immediately helped us with our luggage and brought us to our hotel.
Check in was also fast and easy. They have a special check in desk assigned to guests staying in the tower suites which is behind a private door. This was very convenient with the lines for the regular rooms being outrageously long! They had a nice quiet waiting area with multiple seating and complimentary beverages and delicious treats. This consisted of a fully stocked fridge with anywhere from bottled Coca Cola to orange juice, hot coffee and tea dispensers, cookies, lemon tarts, mini pretzel bread loaves and spread, and fruit. It was very impressive.
Their 24 hr room service is amazing and they have a very extensive menu but what is also great is the amazing restaurants they have at the Aria such as Julian Serrano, Javier’s and the list goes on. The Casino there is fun and upbeat and they are opening a new club there where Haze use to be.
We usually stay at Vdara for a quiet hotel stay for sleep but we would definitely stay at the Aria again. It’s nice and a lot of easy access to all the fun!

After staying at the Aria for two nights, I can honestly say that I have no major complaints. The hotel is beautiful and, after staying at several of the older hotels on the Strip on past visits, I really appreciated staying at a newer hotel where everything looks sleek and modern. And it’s quite hi-​tech too! As soon as we walked into the room, the blinds automatically opened, the lights turned on and the TV welcomed us with some relaxing music.
We stayed in a king room and the bed was so comfortable and luxurious that we didn’t want to return to our old queen bed at home. There were plenty of pillows, which I loved, as it added to the cozy feel. I’m obsessed with the automatic blackout blinds and want my future bedroom’s window blinds to open and close with the press of a button. My only small complaint about them is that they’re not flush with the wall so some light did slip through. If you’re a sleeper who is sensitive to light, like me, you may want to bring a sleep mask or plan on burrowing under the blankets when dawn arrives.
The bathroom was probably one of the nicest bathrooms that I’ve seen at a hotel. The bathtub in the shower stall was an interesting design but worked out well. I managed to take two baths during my stay and the deep tub was super relaxing and a great way to soak your sore muscles after walking around Vegas. It was also nice that the toilet has it’s own door from the rest of the bathroom although a little odd that it’s frosted glass so you can still see the outline of the person. I was staying with my boyfriend so it wasn’t a big deal but it may be strange with a friend.
I wish Vegas hotels provided a mini fridge in the room. We had beers and ciders to chill and I ended up dumping a bucket of ice in the bathroom sink instead. It worked but it also would have been nice to have a spot to store leftovers and snacks.
Everyone was really nice and the maids and maintenance workers greeted us each time we passed them in the hallway. We should have taken advantage of the Do Not Disturb button because we were «disturbed» around 10 AM both mornings. First by someone who said they were there to pick up our room service tray (we didn’t order room service) and second by a maid asking what time we were going to check out. Seeing as we didn’t use the Do Not Disturb sign, I’m not going to hold this against them though.
The central location of the Aria is great and we were able to easily walk to Caesar’s Palace and Planet Hollywood. The restaurants at Aria are a bit pricey but you can find cheaper options at the Miracle Mile, which is only a ten minute or so walk away.
Overall, it’s a great hotel and definitely one that I’ll be keeping in mind for future Vegas visits.

The hubs and I just got back from a weekend getaway to Vegas. We stayed at the Aria and had a fabulous time!
Short & Sweet Overview:
Pros — GORGEOUS casino and hotel with fancy and fabulous eateries. Starbucks, Cirque du Soleil, 5 star dining, Pressed Juice and more all inside!
Cons — they don’t have a lazy river pool and the restaurants are all pretty pricey. There aren’t any «cheaper» options aside from Starbucks (which is higher here than their normal prices) and Pressed Juice. Also, I could smell smoke in many of the restaurant options from the casino which I greatly dislike :-(
Longer Review:
The casino is gorgeous with tons of the newest slots and tables but most of the tables were around the $ 100 minimum mark the weekend we were here which is too high for us but we did win on the slots — bonus!
The check-​in and check-​out process can take 45 minutes easy to more than 1.5 hours so try to do mobile check-​in /​check-​out on their app.
They’ll usually let you extend check-​out from 11 to noon if you ask in advance.
We told them it was our Anniversary and they sent chocolates to our room — class!
We also had a bottle of champagne delivered to our room and the service was fantastic.
I really liked that security/​staff checked your hotel key each time you came back to the elevators /​rooms portion of the hotel.
The room (we had a Deluxe King Strip View European Plan) was gorgeous with a HUGE walk in shower and tub combined. The room was beautiful and everything was controlled with an iPad! Super cool to be able to open curtains or change the temperature of the room from the bed.
We ate at the «Buffet» for the weekend dinner ($ 44) and oh my was it ever good. I think we were only able to nibble on about ¹⁄₅ of the food stations. Pay attention to the spots where the chefs cook for your to order! The grilled scallop in shell and giant prawn was amazing! We honestly didn’t even get to try 4 of the chef stations. The dessert station was insane and we were already way too full but seriously amazing.
Jean Phillipe Patisserie on the casino floor was AMAZING. The savoury «Forrest» crêpe was seriously the best crêpe of my life. We couldn’t eat it at the tables because the cigarette smoke from the casino was so strong that it made me feel unwell. So we just popped up to our room to enjoy our meal. They also had the most gorgeous gelato I had ever seen.
I would definitely stay here again although I would like to see a lower priced eatery (unless I missed it) and a quicker check-​in /​check-​out process available.
Thanks Aria for a FABULOUS Anniversary getaway weekend!
P. S. It’s about a 10 minute walk from our room to the strip/​Miracle Mile Shops.

The hotel is extremely nice, but the service not so much. I live in Las Vegas so I am well aware of how important hospitality is in this city. I was surprised to see how bad service was in MGM’s newest property.
Positives: We checked into the room and the guy at the front desk was awesome. He found out we were here for our anniversary and he upgraded our room to a strip view at no cost. We made sure we tipped him for the nice gesture. The weekend seemed to be starting out well. We got to our hotel room and it was beautiful. I am big on bathroom tubs because I love bubble baths. The design of the bathroom was clever with the shower and tub together behind the glass door. The front desk during checkout was friendly along with the bellman that waited by us in Valet with our bags. The best worker was Chandra. I hope that’s her name. She’s the one that goes around and signs you up for players cards. These few were the only decent workers in the entire hotel and casino. The highlight of our stay was the Aria spa. I highly recommend that place.
Negatives: Bartenders at the sportsbar were horrible. They had terrible service. Not very friendly. Also not very present. We sat in the back because there were no other open seats but then we realized they barely pay attention to people sitting in the back. We tried both Friday and Saturday night. After having bad service on Friday we tried again because we saw there were different bartenders. They acted the same way the bartenders were on Friday night. That’s when we realized it’s probably a management issue.
Valet takes long. The workers in valet were nice but for some reason it took so long to get our car on a Friday night when we could see our car parked out in front. All we really needed were the keys. It was extremely windy and cold so it seemed even longer.
Our service button light was broken in our room causing the mini bar attendant to open our hotel room door. He did it twice. My husband had to scream out to not open the door and to wait until we answered it. We got late check out but right at 11am during the regular checkout time, house keeping opened our door while we were sleeping. This was supposed to be our wedding anniversary getaway and I felt like we had no privacy at all. Doesn’t the front desk communicate with house keeping? Or is it their policy to just go around opening doors? Gross.

I don’t even really know how to put into words how much I love this hotel and the people who work here.
I have stayed at ARIA several times, and it is absolutely my preferred hotel in Vegas. During my most recent stay, to my surprise my boyfriend and I were upgraded to one of their Tower Suite rooms. This also included access to a private lounge with its own check-​in desk as well as refreshments and little things to snack on throughout the day. This amenity was so nice to have since everything in Vegas can be so pricey, and it was nice to just pop down there and grab coffee and bottled water complimentary in the morning.
The room… WOW WOW WOW. The Tower Suite is gorgeous, and it has one of the largest bathrooms I have ever seen. If I could stay in that bathroom for the rest of my life, I would strongly consider it. We were on the 52^nd floor and had a gorgeous view of the strip from our room. The beds they have at ARIA are some of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in, and the pillows are absolutely heavenly. If anyone happens to know what brand of pillows they use at ARIA and could tell me, I would love you until the end of time.
I don’t have much of a critique on the actual casino aspect of ARIA, because I am not much of a gambler. As far as the casino and other common areas go, everything is always kept pretty pristine.
Thank you to everyone at ARIA for a truly unforgettable experience this past weekend. I wish I didn’t have to leave!
AMAZING staff. AMAZING room. AMAZING hotel.

Everytime I go to Vegas and stay at the Aria, I always have a great stay. The rooms are clean and there’s a tablet to control the temperature, blind and light. The customer service is always very great and the front desk employees are very helpful.
There’s tons of good restaurants as well (Bardot and the Buffet are my favorites) but the best part of the hotel is the gym. I’ve stayed in a lot of different hotels on the Strip and I found the Aria has the best gym. They also offer Yoga classes and training.
After your workout you can grab a juice at the new Pressed Juicery situated on the same level.

Fabulous guest rooms, fitness center and service. The food — room service, catered events and Café — disappointed. Javier’s was good.

First and foremost this hotel smells AMAZING! Yes you heard it here first of how wonderful it smells.
Is it the complimentary soap they give guests in the restrooms?
Is it a special fragrance pumped through the ventilation system?
Is it Aria perfume/​body spray worn by the staff?
Who knows!
All I know is I wanted to come back for more!
Super friendly staff, gorgeous views from the hotel room, and a nice intimate setting.
I highly recommend this casino for anyone visiting Vegas.

Gorgeous, modern hotel on the strip. Don’t let the price tag fool you. You can easily book more economical nightly rates for Aria via Priceline. Even if you have to pay a little more, the experience is SO worth it.
Positives:
+ Rooms are spacious and so beautifully set up.
+ Everything on the bed is soft, including the linen cover.
+ Is it just me or is the air around the hotel cleaner? Not a whole lot of smoke, that’s for sure.
+ Slightly larger (and higher quality) personal hygiene products in the bathroom.
+ Great bathroom layout! Love the separate bathtub and shower rooms.
+ Remote-​operated curtain closing and opening.
+ Spacious closets — one for him and one for her — with a counter in between right when you walk into the door.

Not a single bad experience! From the round trip limo pick up to our 3 days-​2 nights stay, it was a fully-​loaded fun.
It’s all about the touchscreen tablet! To control the room temp, drapes, tv, lighting, know-​about-​Aria stuff, the amenities, reservations, room
service, things to do and many more! It’s very modern and innovative and the room has a large tub perfect for a couple.
Flawless service and politeness the whole entire time! We had a room service for a pot of coffee every morning and the ladies were very personable. These gestures made my days. :)
The gym. We used this facility on Saturday and Sunday mornings. My tip: Do not go after 0900 or your wait time for a treadmill will be longer. When we went before 0800, it was just perfect. It is super clean with new machines, water and fresh white towels were offered at the check in counter. Right in front of the gym is a fireplace with cozy sofas. Btw, people clean up the machines after each use. Thumbs up!
Aria is huge so prepare to walk if you wanted to discover and tour the area. We have seen most of the amenities and shopping area and the long walks could be very exhausting especially when you’re on your 4″ stiletto heels. There is also a tram so hotel hopping experience will be less tiring.
The happy people, the staff and service, the food and the alcohol… i am still in the process of detoxification now but it’s all worth it.

Hello Aria you are gorgeous. And modern. And luxurious. And everything nice.
Other reasons why I loved my stay here:
+ cleaner air than other hotels/​casinos
+ high-​tech rooms (open/​close blinds, control room temperature, lighting etc. using a tablet right from the comfort of your bed. You can also press «goodnight» and the entire room will go to sleep LOL)
+ warm and friendly housekeeping service
+ fast elevators organized by floor (omg every tall building needs to have this)
+ Al and Lisa on the casino floor were absolute angels, as were the girls who kept bringing us drinks as we threw money into the slots
+ conveniently located next to the Cosmo (where Marquee and Secret Pizza are) and kitty corner from Planet Hollywood (lots of cheap food options here!)
+ only a $ 12 über ride away from the airport
Wish list items (personal preference):
1. While the bed was comfy, I do wish it were more firm
2. Wish the shower heads had more pressure
3. I know we visited in the winter months, but it would have been nice if the pools were open after 4 pm
4. The toilet is in its own little private area in the bathroom which was nice for when a group of us was getting ready in the bathroom, but that makes me wonder why the shower area isn’t in an opaque area as well…

Recent stay at Aria was very good. Rooms are still probably the most technologically advanced on the strip — The controls are cool to use (you can turn on/​off lights, open/​close blinds, set moods, etc.), but they do have a little bit of a learning curve. The place feels luxurious without being pretentious. There’s a Starbucks and a Fresh Pressed Juicery on the Promenade level, which was very convenient for a quick morning drink. Lots of great food options including an underrated buffet and quick access to Monte Carlo’s food court if you are looking for budget friendly options. Also really enjoyed the high quality live music at the Level bar on the casino level next to the room elevators.
Note* — Check-​in line was super long. You can take advantage of their mobile check in feature — just check-​in ahead of time and you’ll get a room preassigned. They have a separate mobile check-​in line which was a lot shorter. Only downside is that your room is preassigned so it may be a hassle for them to change your room if you prefer a higher floor or closer proximity to the elevators or something.

We stayed for 4 nights around Christmas. Here’s a summary of the pros and cons of staying at Aria, based on our experience:
Pros:
— Luxurious, high-​tech rooms
— Gorgeous view (depending on your room; we were on the 53^rd floor)
— Great location in the middle of the Strip
— Great restaurants on the casino floor
— Plenty of super-​fast elevators organized by floor (never wait more than 15 seconds for one)
— Tons of free parking available even during busiest times (unlike, say, Caesars)
— Well-​insulated quiet rooms, we barely heard our neighbors anytime during our stay
— Prompt housekeeping service
Cons:
— Huge line for check-​in (fortunately we were in the invited guest list, but the regular check-​in line was ridiculous, especially since nearby Cosmopolitan and Vdara had almost no line)
— Calling the front desk from your room or cell puts you on hold for a long time
— Long, inefficient walk to ANYWHERE, even adjacent properties like Cosmopolitan and Monte Carlo
— We got a wake-​up call at 6 AM when we most certainly did not ask for one
— In-​room TVs could be better

Geniales Hotel, geniale Zimmer. Viel Technik, leider war die Klimaanlage viel zu kalt und nicht richtig regulierbar. Besonders unangenehm im Bad :(Wir hatten eine corner suite in der 34. Etage! Hammer! Eine sagenhafte Poollandschaft gehört dazu, die seinesgleichen sucht. Allerdings sind die Wege sehr weit, also möglichst nichts vergessen…;)

Das Zimmer war mega klasse, soviel Technik soviel modernes, das Hotel war klasse. Aber man braucht echt 20 Minuten um vom Zimmer aus auf den Strip zu gelangen und wir haben 4 Minuten bis zum Aufzug gebraucht. Ansonsten haben wir uns in dem Hotel sehr wohl gefühlt und können es nur empfehlen.

Einfach nur ein geniales Hotel! Sehr schick! Wir waren inzwischen schon 2x im Aria. Das Aria hat drei mittelgroße Pool die sehr schick sind, ferner einen «Partypool».

I stayed here for a weekend and thought it was really nice. The people at the front desk were super helpful. Our room was comfortable and I liked the tablet that let you control the room settings, like the lighting and opening of curtains. The shower sucked as the water pressure was low. It’s a pricy hotel but has a lot of amenities which I wish I could have explored (like the gym which sounds amazing), but there wasn’t much time.
