text: This was my first time visiting the lovely Aria and eating here Decor is definitely nice and modern The restaurant itself was packed mainly due a convention that was being held at the same time It is also very loud so it can be difficult to converse Service was excellent possibly because we ordered a LOT of food as well as a bottle of wine and alcohol We ordered over items including almost every dessert on the menu some more than once to feed our large group I have no idea what the bill cost but I am sure it would have been over pp nnThe food itself was nothing special I have had much better tapas here in LA at various places I will only gloss over the highlights I read that the chicken croquettes were to die for but I found them to be simply good but something that would not generally stand out The stuffed dates wrapped in bacon were excellent though I must point out that it is difficult to get this dish wrong the creamy risotto was super delicious the scallops were good the pan manchego was tasty the peppers were a favorite of others and out of all the desserts the Spanish creme brulee was the best unfortunately I have no picture of it but it was larger than most creme brulees Again most of the other dishes were average and nothing to write home about Oh and the Sangria is delicious and sweet they add some liquor to it rum I think but I am not sure so it does not have a strong wine taste to itnnTheres definitely better restaurants on the strip though this was my first experience in Vegas eating tapas I would say the tapas run on the more expensive side most are some up to and we had to order a lot to get full
