Awesome update video. Glad things have improved at Aria. It's one of my favorite casinos to play in and love all of the food offerings, especially with the new food hall. Looking forward to the next video!

[@ShowMeVegas]

Thanks as always for watching, and for your comment! Hopefully my stay was indicative of the overall direction of the hotel.

[@marky147]

Glad to hear this, as I've got 9 nights at Aria booked for the start of my summer trip. Never one for buffets, so I'm really excited to try the new Proper Eats options, too. Great video!

[@MariaReyes-yg1lc]

Love Aria. And, mostly get my stays comped thanks to the generous MGM Rewards program, which also offer spa/food credits and slot play. Aria has several exceptional fine dining restaurants and now also offers low cost food options at the new food hall. They always let me check in early or late with no additional fees.

[@ShowMeVegas]

Phenomenal restaurants at Aria for sure! Thanks for watching!

Unfortunately my two experiences at Aria were subpar. They were rude at the pool and the suite was dirty and one room had water leaking from the wall on the carpet. We have had better stays at Vdara, Delano and even the NoMad. It must be how management trains staff. Glad you had a good stay.

Hi! 🙂 Appreciate the video and seeing your guest star, Julian. 😁 I'm not a fan of most of the newer casinos that are huge and open with a shopping mall feel, but it helps so I can see where I don't want to go when I return. ❤️

We stayed 4 nights at Aria back in July of 2021 and it was a complete disaster. I sent them a review per there request and I didn't hold back on anything. Never heard anything from them. We said that they will never get a penny from us again, but because of your review, we will have to give them another chance. Keep those videos coming.

[@ShowMeVegas]

As always keep in mind everybody’s experiences differ. Some are saying some of those problems still exist but I sure didn’t find them. Thanks as always for watching!

[@JPumpkinKing]

Keep in mind, that any stays in 2021 were still during the pandemic, and EVERYWHERE was short staffed (some places/industries still are). Hard to keep an enormous resort in “perfect” condition when you don’t have enough staff to keep up on every little issue. Are the issues you experienced acceptable? Nope. But you MUST consider the situation at hand.

[@chrisanderson9981]

@@JPumpkinKing This is true. I stayed though during the 2020 part of the Pandemic and had a GREAT experience at Aria. None of the issues any person experienced so I'm sure experiences vary. All properties drop the ball anyway from time to time with the high number of rooms managed at each one, my guess at least.

[@Lyndaflackman]

Did you not give Aria a break, because the last time you stayed here was during Covid? Help was hard to get. could’ve been the reason for a lot of the problems.

[@nando5745]

Aria was my first stay in Vegas via MyVegas back in 2013ish and we were hooked yearly until also a bad stay in 2020. Also glad they're back. Great upscaleish strip hotel with no real tourist attraction (love that about this property)...glad they're stil in 4-5 star ranking.

Inquire at thé front desk for a room upgrade to a Sky suite. As per: Eugene Kwok

[@benjaminhamm175]

Great video. Good to see things were much better this time. Question though, toward the end of the video, it was mentioned that the room could use an update. What does that mean to you? Colors, style, materials? What needs updating and how should it be updated? Especially considering in the beginning of the video you stated your impression is the furniture was possibly new. Thanks 😊

[@ShowMeVegas]

Colors and decor for sure. The rooms almost exactly as they did in 2009 when the hotel opened, which is an eternity for a Las Vegas hotel. The design was initially very modern but is now looking tired, IMO. Thanks for watching!

[@tasteandtravelwithrcs]

[@AntLong110]

Awesome video as always! Can you tell me why type of hats you wear and what’s the piece on the inside brim?

The brand is Melin, and that patch under the brim is their logo. I’ve tried to get them to sponsor a video but to no avail… Thanks for watching!

[@mikem9278]

I totally agree with your comment about the clientele. I was there in 2021 also, and the atmosphere inside was like walking the strip on a weekend night. People were loud, obnoxious, I even got a wiff of "smoke" at one point. I've been to Vegas about a dozen times since then and have never gone back to Aria. Maybe i'll give it another visit..

[@ShowMeVegas]

The clientele all around Vegas took a nosedive in 2020, but it’s back to normal now. Thanks for watching!

[@LC8FTW]

@@ShowMeVegas That's true. I was at LV on the last day before they closed for 3 months at the start of the pandemic, and I was in LV on the day that they reopened. The reopening trip was weird weird weird! Then I continued going back every couple of months and the general demographic up and down the strip was not inviting. I definitely would not let my wife walk the strip alone at any time of the day, nor did she even want to. Your head needed to be on a swivel and your street smarts dialed up a few notches. Anecdotally the change in demographic was attributed to all the hotels renting rooms at very low rates for the first year after reopening and thus attracting a low-rent crowd analogous to scavengers. That said, I can't complain about getting a corner suite in the Cosmo Boulevard Tower for $125/night! I'd say it took slightly over a year for the general demographic to swing back to normal. I go to LV often and I choose Aria most frequently, and my experiences mirror yours, Mr. and Mrs. Show Me. I had some unacceptable experiences two years ago. I've been there over a dozen times since, and they're trending back in the right direction. Even more so if you can get into a corner suit, which were all well-maintained even during the bad times. I'll be there again next week! I'd love to meet you two. You remind me of a couple that my wife and I love socializing with, and we always make a beeline for the adults-only pools, which seems to be your inclination as well. Cheers from a new subscriber!

[@markcummings3146]

We are contemplating staying at Aria for our 2024 trip, either there, MGM, Caesars or Planet Hollywood depending on where we can get a good deal (not just cheapest to stay). We want somewhere lively and pretty central to the strip but also with a solid pool and a poker room so got to balance all of that up. Your review helps us a lot.

[@ShowMeVegas]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@ParisCao]

I’ve stayed at the Aria multiple times and my mother and I love it besides the fact we have came across staff that are rude, but other than than we enjoy our room. We are with their rewards program and get great up grades here and there. Grand MGM used to be where we stayed the most, their pool and lazy river is great. So in my opinion you can’t go wrong with either, Vdara is also good place to stay for convenience. It also includes a kitchenette.

[@jakep5442]

I’ve just returned from a stay there and unfortunately I left feeling disappointed! Staff seemed off, no warm welcome including front of house and door staff. Terrible smell throughout, probably partly due to all the people smoking but also the lack of ventilation. The temperature throughout was set too cold especially in the hall ways were the cold would blast you from the vents. Excessive costs for food and drinks from within the convenience stores ($16 for a bud)!. Positives are decent looking hotel and good location, pool area was decent also with lots of available seating. Overall I would give this hotel stay a 3 out of 5.

[@gregorynemecek630]

Me and my lovely wife stayed at aria December 2021 and we had a fantastic stay at aria one of are favorites also. What are your thoughts on the new horseshoe and hopefully you review that hotel for your subscribers 😊

[@ShowMeVegas]

I (Jordan) spent a little time at Horseshoe last weekend and was pleasantly surprised at how new it felt. I though it was going to be the same old Bally’s with a new name. We might just stay there this year since we’re starting to look at some Caesars properties for a change. Thanks for watching!

[@alyonapetrova694]

I stayed at the Aria for 4 nights in February. Changed rooms 3X within the first night. The rooms were filthy, abhorrent, and the wall paper, paint, and rug was stained, ripped, worn, and just unacceptable. I guess it’s the luck of the draw OR they have your name identified in their computer system. Not worth $600 per night on Friday and Saturday. Yes, $600+ for a Friday and Saturday stay.

Gonna have to disagree with you here. Consider it? Sure. But it doesn’t excuse it in the least. If a hotel doesn’t have the staff to maintain and clean 4,004 rooms to an acceptable standard then it shouldn’t be selling 4,004 rooms. We had plenty of good stays at other hotels during the pandemic, so it was certainly possible with good management.

My main problem with Park is that there is so little sound damping between the rooms. That one complaint aside, I love everything else about the Park property.

[@larrycausey7121]

Just curious how did you not get a free room for being gold

[@ShowMeVegas]

Comp offers are based strictly on gambling, not your tier. It’s easy for us to maintain gold because we have the MGM credit card, and because we make so many trips, but our typical gambling activity isn’t always enough to justify fully comped rooms. It also varies widely depending on the resort, so we get much better comps at the lower-end resorts than we do at Aria.

[@stevenrunyon170]

when Vegas first re opened after the shutdown the room rates were so low the trash driving up from Ca made it miserable and I say CA cause no one was flying in at that point and full disclosure Im from CA and it was embarrassing. I don't care if people don't like what I say but it was true. There was weed smell everywhere and people were driving those mobility carts every where in the casino. No one had any respect.I would tip a waitress $5 for a drink and they would thank me and tell me how all these people would order drinks and not tip them. I said almost 3 years ago once the Aria started charging around $300 a night for their resort room it would be normal again and it looks like all the clowns are now back at circus circus where they belong paying $29 a night.

[@ShowMeVegas]

Regardless of where the people were coming from it was a tough time on the strip for sure. Seems Aria didn’t respond to it very well and that led to a sharp decline. Looks like they have it back, though. Thanks for watching!
