My friend and I stayed at Aria during the Labor Day weekend.  The lobby d\u00e9cor is modern and contemporary, and the casino doesn't smell like Flamingo or Excalibur (you know that smell).  I know Vegas hotels are huge, but the Aria parking structure is at one end and the hotel lobby is at the other end, and it took us FOREVER to walk between the two.   All was forgotten when the hotel rep upgraded our room to a suite for free.  The view of our room was amazing, the pillows were so soft (one of those that you head sinks into them gently and when you remove your head, they pop right back up on their own immediately), the high-tech curtains were so fun to play with, the bar soap smelled so good I had to take them home, and oh, did I say the pillows were really soft?  I had to keep reminding my drunk friend DO NOT TOUCH the snack bar because I am not paying like $20 for a bottle of water.  Everything was wonderful, except our internet was not working.  The first time we called, we were put on hold for at least 15 minutes listening to their annoying promos, then we gave up.  We called the next day and were put on hold for another 10 minutes.   C'mon guys, we didn't pay $28 of daily resort fee to be treated like calling Comcast customer service.\n\nWe had wanted to come and use the pools, but ended up spending our time hanging out elsewhere, so can't comment on them.   We did try the buffet.  I don't know, for $100 for two people, I didn't think it was worth it.  It was at best average.  Everything was dried and not every fresh. The stir fry tofu had no tofu in it and the shrimp fried rice had no shrimp in it.  But the sliced cantaloupe was really sweet.   \n\nOverall, it was a nice stay, but only three stars.
