The old fresh mama. Super good food. Get the veggie skewers. Can't wait to see what they can do when they expand. Will be back

I love electronica but have never really been a house/dubstep kind of guy. My friends told me how great this festival was so I thought I'd give it a shot. Was not disappointed. VIP passes were clutch. The check in lines for GA seemed endless; luckily VIP cut down our entry by an hour if not a lot more. The little lounge areas you could crash in were also very clutch. But the number one benefit were the upgraded toilets with much much shorter lines. But it's really about the music. Great variety of artists from Little Boots to Afrojack. I was surprised how you could have so many stages without any of the music bleeding in to each other. They did a fantastic job with that. The rides were also fantastic. I only had a chance to go on a few--I could have spent much more time doing that if I wasn't so in to the music and hanging with my friends. Give yourself time if you're going to drive--it is a haul for sure both ways. Took us two hours to get home on day one leaving at 5am.

Aria was very nice! We had a corner suite that was lovely. We loved the sliding door that separated the bedroom from the living room. The automated lights and curtains were also great. Not five stars in our book mostly for the wait during check-in. While some say, "you should always expect to wait to check-in in Vegas", we would argue that you should NEVER have to wait for a room that has been pre-booked. When will hotels realize that the current traditional check-in methods are a big downer. You just walked into the place - and the first thing you do is STAND IN A LINE? Do the math on the common sense of a FIRST IMPRESSION hotel industry! The bathroom had one of those fancy Toto? toilets. The master bath was big and had a big shower with a tub nearby. The tub had jets. The pool at Aria, (we did not do the Liquid Pool), was nice. Our waitress/server was not good. The valet wait was up to 20 to 35 minutes in the early afternoon. Aria's location is not bad but it is not great either. It is a healthy walk from Aria to the the action in the heart of The Strip.

Sadly, this is a tribute review to one of my favorite stops in LV, The Attic, which closed this year:( So I am aware that a review is of no importance this late in the game, but I am writing it anyway, as a tribute, for the indelible record. This way, if they ever do resurrect this Las Vegas treasure, this review will hopefully still be here. I bought a lot of clothes over the years at this spot, some vintage, some custom. They made a lot of original creations here, and tailored them on the spot for you. The decor was always shabby-chic cool, and welcoming. I liked the original 2-floor location better than the 1-story "new" location across the street, but LV lost an institution when The Attic closed.
