I stayed at Aria when it opened in late December. I was not impressed and will never go back again unless it was the obvious deal to take. There wasn't exactly wrong with Aria. However, there wasn't exactly anything making you want to stay either. Food (although I didn't try everything) wasn't great, the location although not that bad seemed a bit shittier only because the main entrance was tucked inside and not facing out towards the strip, and it just didn't have that nice Vegas vibe to it imo. What I did like were the rooms were a little different from the rest of Vegas. Everything is controlled electronically via the TV or a frame beside the bed. Controls everything from lights, TV, to blinds. Certainly a decent touch but nothing I would stay for as really, how much time does anybody really spend in their room while in Vegas.

My thoughts are if Aria is the cheapest option out of all the other decent hotels and not just by $10 or $20 then by all means stay there. But if it's pricier then some I would choose something else.
