text: Aria is described in MGMs press kits as the heart of CityCenter If this is indeed the case then I would go see a cardiologist as soon as possible While Aria the hotel is in fact a very nice hotel it does fall short in many aspects Here are a few of my tips if you choose to call Aria home for your next Vegas vacation nnIf you are staying at Aria do yourself a favor and valet your car the walk from the Self Park to the lobby is quite a hike It involves you having to transverse the ENTIRE casino floor nnThe deluxe rooms are a tad bit on the small side for new vegas hotel standards That is not to say they are not nice In fact the technology in the room is super cool with touch screen controls that can do almost anything from opening and closing the curtains to adjusting the room temperature The bed is also very comfortable nnDONT EAT at the BUFFET you have been warned nnThe casino is a tad bit on the dark side either bring a flash light or go gamble next door at the Bellagio nnand MOST IMPORTANTLY do not believe all the hype this is not the reinvention of the Las Vegas hotel remember to breath words will not fail you and you just might come out liking this place
