This place blows!\n\nI always get comps at MGM & Mandalay, but though I'd shell out a few bucks for the Aria just to check it out.  If you have seen the bad reviews, believe them!  Too bad I had a comped room at the Bellagio for three nights and I decided to stay here instead.  What a dummy I am!  Here's my lists of pros & cons:\n\nPros:\n-Nicely designed rooms\n-Awesome bathroom! Shower & tub are together so you can leave\nthe water running in the tub and it will spill over into the shower drain!\n-Blinds open in room upon your arrival (how awesome is that!)\n-Touch-screen remote & plasma TV (thank god most of Vegas now offers more than 2 channels on their TV!)\n-There were like two people in the casino.  I consider that a pro.\n\nCons:\n-dirty, Dirty, DIRTY!  Yes, it's true!  The window was SUPER dirty, but I let it slide because there was a bit of rain on the way there so maybe it was raining in Vegas before I got there.  I think some hairy guy was laying on the bed before I got there because there was some nasty body hair on my comforter.  Eww!  There was also hair in the tub.  What looked like a half eaten Moet & Chandon cork was inbetween the mini-bar snacks, the shower gel they gave had been opened because it had leaked out and you could see gooey hands closed it back up.  Two lights were busted also - the bathroom light (that sucked!) and a vanity light. WTF?! Isn't this casino new? My last gripe about the dirtiness, I swear...I asked for a refill on my cranberry juice from my zombie waiter - he brought one back and I noticed there was some orange pulp on it.  Drank a sip and noticed it tasted like a cranberry orange.  Held it up in the light and there was pulp all in there.  What the hell???  Did this guy give me a used old orange juice glass and refill it with cranberry juice instead?! \n\n-Unhappy staff (Lobby, Front Desk, Dealers, Door people, Hostess, Waiters..anyone else I left out?  Oh yeah, the only nice person was the valet guy!  There were two people checking in who were being helped and I was the only person in line to check in.  Some idiot staff there decided he needed to make a line (for who?!), told me to go behind one of the parties being helped and told me I was \"next in line\".  I think I had that figured out from the time I stepped in line.\n   \n-Crappy slot machines. I lost 1k in literally about 20 minutes.  Damn you max bet!  There wasn't much variety in machines, which was a bummer.\n\n-Table games:  Douche bag players at tables.  And not only that, they don't know how to play.  I couldn't win at a single table or slot.  The dealers don't even say \"good luck\" when they hand you the chips because they know you're gonna lose so what's the point?\n\n-Food: Way overpriced for mediocre food.  The buffet was not very good.  There wasn't much to eat.  I came out hungry...at a buffet! They had some crab legs on ice but they weren't very cold.  The shrimp & asparagus was excellent, but that was literally the ONLY good thing they had there.  The desert was just o.k. \n\nAte at their cafe.  $4.50 for a coke, $4 for a coffee and $14 for a club sandwich? Way too pricey! It should have at least been good.  That was probably the worst club I've ever had - how can you make that bad?  Again, I really didn't care for the employees anywhere.\n\n-Zombie staff: The staff outweigh the guests.  There's just too many people working there, I don't get it.  A guy standing in the lobby to tell you to stand in line, an elevator guy checking your key 24 hours a day, random guys standing around by the escalator keeping an eye on the place - they were just EVERYWHERE!  Really irritating!  I was so surprised that no one was even remotely friendly.  Not even a smile.  I'm wondering if Aria is human trafficking or something because these people don't seem right.  Was I on vacation or in prison?\n\nLast con: Parking.  I always do valet in Vegas, but thank god I did because I wouldn't even have a clue where to go. \n\nI think this is a casino that you could go to just to see what it looks like since it's new.  I would definitely not stay here again.  It seemed too far to walk out onto the strip and complicated, so I didn't even bother.  I like to stay at the MGM - the room is decently priced, the location on the strip is excellent, great games and it's clean. \n\nThanks but no thanks, Aria.  Don't blame your lack of guests on the economy, it's your hotel.  Good luck with your sub-par employees, hotel & casino.
