text: Boy has this place ever declined Stayed there this last weekend March room and was very disappointed with the experience this time around compared to my stay there at this time last year Boy where to beginnnFirst one of the novelties of the Aria is the fact that upon entering your room for the first time the lights come on the motorized draperies open your TV comes on to welcome you etc My room None of that happened I had to fumble to find the light switches and once I did was able to get the drapes open finally I was surprised to see a couple rungs of the draperies hanging loose What housekeeper sees that and deems it acceptable Tried to turn on the desk lamp but it was broken The edges of the wood desks had the finish worn off as well something a little furniture polish or even a magic marker could fix in an instant Surprising that the hotel pays no attention to detail like that I felt like I was in a cheap motel this time For that price you expect superiority not mediocrity Oh and I had specifically sent a request ahead of time a request they acknowledged via email to be put in a room on a higher floor They stuck me on the th while most of my coworkers were given rooms on the th floor Funny considering that they were right behind me in line at checkin yet the associate who helped ME said there were no rooms higher than the th floornnSo I finally get settled and begin to relax when all of a sudden a VERY loud party starts up in the room next to mine There must have been people in the room early s and obviously very intoxicated I eventually caved and called security Some guy eventually showed up but it did not make much difference I finally had to leave my room as I could not even hear my TV over the noise When I came back an hour later all was quiet but only because they had gone out It started up again upon their return at about AMnnAfter spending all day at the NASCAR races the next day tired as heck due to lack of sleep thanks to the party I returned at around PM to find that my room had not been serviced and from the looks of it housekeeping was gone for the day I went down to the concierge desk and let them know then headed out to dinner When I came back it was obvious they had been there However they must have done a rush job because my dirty drinking glasses were still where they had been left my used wet towel wash cloth were still in the shower and the amenities had not been replaced Consequently I had to shower the next morning with no shampoonnOn my final night there I was jarred awake at around AM again from the room next door Great I thought the party gang is back Strangely however there was no talking or yelling like before As I stepped into the hall to see what all the clanking of glass bottles was I discovered it was HOUSEKEEPING Who the heck cleans rooms at AM waking up everyone at that end of the hallway When the lady stepped out to dump yet another bag of cans bottles in the hallway I said Really Cleaning a room that noisily at AM She just looked at me and said yeah and Gee pardon me for wanting to have a satisfying stay without a nd night of loud noise to keep me from sleepingnnSo in conclusion I was deeply disappointed with this stay It seemed obvious that the hotel does not take as much pride in being special anymore Time to look elsewhere next time I am in Vegas
