I have sampled many of the higher end LV resort hotels both on and off the strip. I had a wonderful experience at the Aria. The rooms were contemporary with a nice view of the strip. The bed was very comfortable, bath towels especially nice. The casino is not over whelming and certainly not as frenzied as some. The staff was very friendly and front desk efficient. Loved the tram service between the Monte Carlo and Bellegio. I travel alone to Vegas quite often and really felt this was the perfect spot for me.

Be prepared to not use your cell phone unless you want to spend a lot of time outside the hotel. Many "no signal" spots!!
Coffee in the morning? Hump it down stairs and stand in line for "to-go".
Enjoy remote controls for room functions? (TV,lighting,bill review, check-out) Very difficult to operate and has limited functions. The remote is WIRED and worthless. This place is just 2 years old!!!!
Want help from front desk? Forget it! After 15 mins. there was no answer.
Lots of disconnects.
No housekeeping! I was away from the room 9AM to 4PM. Called for service and was ignored until my return appx. 10PM. Too late! I'm in bed.
Be ready to use anything you remove from the Refrigerator or Bar (even to check it out) as the items are weight sensitive and will trip a room charge mechanism you won't find out about until you check out.
Shower floor is very slippery!!
Throughout the hotel and casino the Muzack plays so loud it is difficult to carry on a conversation with some one next to you. A couple of restaurants also have this problem.
I could go on.
3 very good dining restaurants saved my stay. Won't return!

I just finished a week-long stay at the Aria in one of their Sky Suites on the 54th floor, 54-029 to be precise. You have a separate check-in area from the rest of the guests near the elevators for the suites and you need to tell your driver that you are staying at the suites as there is also a different entrance. The view I had overlooked the western horizon and the views are spectacular. The rooms are not over the top opulent in a good way, however they have everything you would want and more. You enter the room into a living room type area with a large screen television. plenty of seating and a half bath. There is also a refrigerator (no freezer). But what will hit you immediately is how different the room is from other rooms in the area. The building is LEED certified, basically meaning that it is very green. For example, everything is electronic, from opening the curtains, controlling the temperature, the lights and the television. It is all on a control panel that you can control from your bed or other parts of the room. when you leave, you push one button and all electrical items in the room shut down, the curtains automatically close and the service light will come on to let the staff know that your room is ready to be cleaned.

The bedroom is spacious with plenty of drawer space (closets are in the bathroom). The beds are comfortable. The bathroom is large, with a separate whirlpool tub, shower built for 4 (up to you what you do with it) and two sinks. The toilet, which I would normally not mention, has certain benefits attached to it, and I will leave it at that, and the seats are warmed.

Benefits: There is always food and drink available without charge to suite guests, but it is a little tricky to find. It is located behind a wall in the sitting area near the Sky Suite check-in desk. The elevators to the suites have 24 hour guards.

The hotel itself has terrific restaurants, gambling, better than average shops and you must visit the sweets shop. It is also very conveniently located near Crystals shopping plaza filled with high-end shops and a CVS across the street. If you are a convention goer, this hotel was designed with the conventioneer in mind. Walks are not long. In that sense, the hotel is more vertical than horizontal which makes for a better convention experience.

My only complaint is that I wish the hotel had more no smoking areas, including a no smoking lounge. If they had one, I could not find it and as with most casinos in Vegas, smoking is prevalent. I think they also inject some sort of aroma into the air which, if it was not for the addition of the smoke, might be pleasant, but instead it combines into a somewhat unpleasant small that some may find it at worst annoying.

Overall, a great stay at a great location.

Took in aria spa treatment at end of January it was great and first-class, the outdoor shared pool had incredible views and was heated to right temperature. In total I spent 3 hours plus in spa area deriding and relaxing.

The buffet wad good but hardly worth the 60.00 they were charging the public, see if you can get coupon when registering online.
