Q: You're disappointing me Aliante!!! This is an update to my previous review. My first review of Aliante is 4 stars and at times, even 5 stars. However, my recent visits here have not been good. Here are the recent issues -No longer a Station Casino. This means none of my Great Giveaway Bets qualify here. As a result, I make my way to Red Rock weekly. -Rewards Center: Poor service right now. Since this is now it's own casino, I have to update my Rewards Card. The table games no longer issues cards so I'm only able to get a new card at the Reward Center. They only have one and their lines were super long. I know it was a weekend, but when you see that many people in line, 2 employees will not cut it. Was in line for about 30 minutes, then finally gave up. I didn't even make it halfway. Also, I don't plan on playing here much anymore so no reason to get a Rewards Card. -Poker Room Closed: Yes, even on the weekend. C'mon man!! -Sports Book Bar: I live close to here and use to sit at the bar to check out the games, play a little video poker, and have a drink. Only issue...tough to get a drink when no one serves you. There could be bartenders in the bar, but never check on you. And if you ask them for a drink, they state that someone else has to do it. How hard is it to open a bottle of Budlight and hand it over? Seriously??!! I'm think that Aliante is in a transaction between owners, which is also causing the lack or consistent customer experience. I will try again since I live so close. I might have caught the Rewards Center, Bar, Poker Room, and Johnny Rockets all on a bad night.

Q: Excuse me, why is my grande green tea frappe that I usually get for $4.45, over $7 here? Oh cause we're in Aria. What?! This urked me so bad but they already made it since it took forever to charge my account! Go to the one right outside of here. Ridiculous.

Q: Before you read the rest of my impressions, let me just say that I prepaid for the round trip for two, and Ritz left us stranded for our 4:30am return. If that doesn't tell you to run, read the rest. First ones on the shuttle meant a 20 minute wait for the bus to fill in a bus without the air running. Then the driver over-filled by 1 and then had to rework the math and seating even though we were completely crammed in. Also, the a/c was off while we waited (in the desert...) and it never really recovered once we were in motion, so it was a hot, cramped ride. We were staying at the Excalibur, which was supposed to be "one of the first" stops. In fact, it was the 3rd, after Bally's and another stop in the center of the strip. Start to finish, it was just over an hour from the time we paid for the shuttle to the time we were dropped off at the back of our hotel (as opposed to the front where cabs leave you and you can get porter service). As I said earlier, they left us stranded for the return trip. We ended up taking a cab which cost exactly the same as for two as the pre-paid trip, and a cab to the hotel would have actually saved us .50 cents (yes, tip included) compared with the shuttle and would have probably gotten us there 45 minutes sooner.
