Was wondering is there any other way to get down to Bellingham if I don't want to drive down there and park? Is the parking secure and safe? Thanks

Is it worth it to go from Bellingham rather than from here? The obvious reason is of course the price difference and the time of departure and arrival is more flexible. Westjet, aircanada, etc, have messed up times to fly out and back.

We chose depart early of the day and depart really late, so we stayed at vegas a little bit longer.
+1 on "departure and arrival is more flexible"
If you don't mind the an hour drive to bellingham airport then its awesome

I got upgraded to the sky suites but they still charged resort fee, which is ok with me.

Vegas is the bomb.
Was there 2 weeks ago.
Crazy hot weather between 35-40C.
Stayed in the hotels most of the days as it was a pure gambling trip.

What kind of room did you have?

We got to the Cosmo and concierge tells us they are upgrading us to an 1100sqft premium bedroom suite. AMAZING views, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, laundry the works. I'm sure a lot of hotels in Vegas will provide you with an upgrade if you ask nicely (I've had this done before at Caesars and Bellagio). This time it was just the luck of the draw--and good thing because I managed to save quite a bit on this trip just from the hotel alone.
BTW, Obsideon..you were right. Cosmo smelled AMAZING. I wish they bottled the scent. LOL!
I'd definitely stay here again!! And Marquee is a great club!

I just got back a few days ago from Vegas and parked at Bellingham Airport. Flying Allegiant saved me $500 for my gf and I even after the baggage fees and $9/day airport parking. I didn't have any issues with the parking except that the ticket machine wouldn't read my parking ticket that was bent ever so slightly so I had to do it the hard way and talk to the cashier in the booth and pay there.
Aria was a nice hotel for sure and smelled great like some sort of vanilla floral smell. Only issue I had there was in the casino where I was treated like shiet by the staff there. I won't go into too much detail but I was basically denied any service by the cocktail waitresses there. The supervisor was rude as well.

Haha I know eh that smell pretty much flows through most of Cosmo, Aria and the connecting CityCenter mall! Smells way better than the older hotels that just stink like stale cigarettes lol
