stayed here this past weekend with Justin B. and cant really complain about my stay. after seeing a lot of bad reviews, i was hesitant to stay here but still felt like i had to check it out for myself. checked in early at like noon on a friday. check in process was quick and painless. had no problem getting a 1-king bed, non-smoking, higher floor room as requested. the room was nice and clean plus the remote control for the room worked just fine. when leaving the room the next morning, we had our 'service' light lit up on the door and when we came back 2 hours later, our room was already turned down and cleaned. granted we never called down to the front desk to request extra towels or ammenities, but the service we received at aria was nothing but pleasant and efficient. also even called for a late check out on sunday and received an extra hour no problem.\n\nfound aria's location very convenient as well. sure you may have to walk but it's vegas and it's expected. we definitely utilized the free tram to bellagio a lot. aria is also connected to monte carlo through a walkway but we didnt check that out during the trip. walked around to check out Caesars, Planet Hollywood and Harrahs but did have to taxi it up to Wynn when we wanted to check out that hotel - still the trip was only $10. didnt have time to check out the pool area so that's def on my to do list the next time i'm here!\n\nnote: if you're a mgm/mirage players club member, you can get a rate on a weekend for $139 a night right now - felt that this was a reasonable price for the hotel.
