I stayed in the Aria Sky Suites the first week they were open, during a promotional rate. I loved the rooms, and the electronic controls for the drapes and lighting made it feel like a very high tech option for Vegas.
@baopham86762 жыл бұрын
I spent 2 weeks in Sky Suites corner suite. The first week I was by myself so I didn't care too much for it. It felt like no one else was on my floor and quite eerie. The 2nd week my gf arrived and we had pre parties and after parties there with friends. We would start with complimentary wine from the lounge and make our way up to the suite. Since they ended complementary liquor at the lounge, we stocked up from CVS next door. We use their complementary limo service over club XS and back. It's good for group setting but not for single guest.

Thank you for this Sebby! I have a friend who is going through a rough divorce and I’m really thinking a trip to Vegas and a splurge on one night in a suite will be JUST what the doctor ordered! So your reviews of the FHR in Vegas is so helpful! I might have to talk her into getting an Amex Platinum now so that she can get the intro bonus and we can get 2 nights in the suites!! I also went to DTF last December and thought for Vegas the prices weren’t that bad, but definitely not cheap.

I got to stay in one of the SkySuites as a result of a favor from a friend on my 40th Birthday. Not only was the room thoroughly impressive, but Aria does a good job with the dedicated check-in and lounge area of making you feel like a VIP. 10/10 would stay again if I can pull it off.

(on my alt account) YES! We actually went to the main check-in desk and they were very confused -- didn't know about the VIP / "secret" back area until this trip :)

Thank you for your overview. While I appreciate the room tour and the breakdown of costs vs. rewards, something I haven't seen on any channels is talking about the services received at each hotel. (ie: we called the concierge and immediately got into XYZ restaurant / called and got a same-day booking for a show / we used in-house limo service to get from A to B and this is how it went) I know it can be tough getting an accurate gauge of this because you're known KZbinrs, however in my experience the service of a hotel/restaurant many times makes/breaks the experience. Thanks.

We'll be dropping the Platinum Card in May, but I'm tempted to use the credit. In February we're staying at Elara, for a timeshare presentation with Hilton, otherwise I would use it then.

Upgrade trick for The Ritz Carlton and probably any other hotel, Tip a $100 at check in, while providing asked for ID and ask for the upgrade. It has worked over 4 times at Ritz properties for me from standard guestrooms to suites on high floors with stunning views. When you calculate how much more the suite would be per night it is well well worth the $100.00
@raypedia Жыл бұрын
You should do your initial room tour video when you check in so that things aren't so messy. :) That way you can start from the entry door too, rather than having the entry be mid-way during the tour.

When you book the hotel room do you have to ask for the upgrade at the desk check in or do they do it automatically when booking with the amex plat?
@OperationNonsense2 жыл бұрын
you book the room you want on the web, and upgrades happen at the time of check-in. in my experience, you usually hear the typical standard response "we are so sorry, you are a very valuable guest, but no suites are available for upgrade, we are completely sold out". i am pretty sure staff are taught to say that as a standard procedure.

Must be separate. But what I would do if it were me, is I’d let them know of the two reservations when you first check in. They may be able to let you stay in the same room so you don’t have to move your stuff. But this is definitely a good idea if you have a player 2!

[alt account Sebby] Has to be separate bookings, sadly. We usually book cheaper properties and move rooms. You probably could let the front desk know and they'll keep you in the same room, but we generally don't want to risk not getting the credits (main value prop). Reminder that you have early check-in (12pm) + late checkout (4pm) so moving rooms is just an elevator ride in the afternoon :)
