Aria is my favorite hotel in vegas. It's not the "best" in any category... not the best pool, best fine dining, best room, best casual dining, etc. But it is solid across the board and with the new connector it's quick to go to Cosmo and Bellagio. If you ever get a SkySuite (i've done it once), they're one of the best rooms in the city.

We were in Vegas in March for 5 days and moved around hotels due to bowling in USBC Open Championships. Last two nights were at NoMad on top of Park MGM, due to being a non smoking hotel. Walked to Aria several times to play and eat, win some $ too. We are MGM comp seniors, stayed in all except one of their hotels. Favorites are Bellagio, Cosmopolitan, Aria, NoMad, Mirage (lucky here). We go at least 8 times to Beau Rivage under their comp junket (including flights, hotel, shuttle). Outside of MGM, we like Venetian or Palazzo. We also have comps at Caesar.s but don’t use them that often except on cruises and junkets.

There was an elegance every night for entertainment and the dress code were suits or tux. We miss that. Now the only place we like to stay is GVR or Red Rock. We like to be away from the hustle and bustle. Comes with being old. Nowadays our must haves for staying at a hotel is that they must have more than one fine dining establishment, second, is a spa and fitness center and some great bars. Aria seems to check a lot of our boxes. Thanks for the great videos.

Aria is comfortable. Drawback would be the sportsbook is really tiny for such a premium property. Sort of an afterthought. In my opinion, they should get rid of the poker room at the back of the property and make that whole area a sportsbook. One other negative is Starbucks. Poor design for such high traffic. Always a 15 minute line. Good food choices on the 2nd level. Plenty of bars to get a quick drink. Pool area is one of the best in Vegas. Like many strip hotels, getting sort of ridiculous for minimum play on the weekends. $50/craps at the low end? Really? Guess I just have to make more money.

You're both right about the pool area and Liquid. Smaller, but high quality. You can't really walk around and explore if that's your thing. No kids is always a plus. Agreed on the slots at MGM (Caesars too). If you want the latest games on the strip, Venetian/Palazzo are good choices. The best selections of the newest games though are always off strip, like at Rampart, South Point, Red Rock, etc. I think of the MGM properties slot wise as one giant casino (like WinStar), and you're likely to find mostly what you're looking for at one or another. MGM often switches their games from one casino to another as well. Aria is simply a lot of fun, especially when they're busy. It's a vibe. Great resort.

As far as the hotel, I agree with your assessment of the room. My problem is that if you’re in a room far from an elevator, it is an EXTREMELY long walk, which makes forgetting things I the room a pain. I also had a mysterious room charge added after I checked out which took a while to resolve. My cousin is a pit boss there and he likes working there. My favorite time to be at Aria is around 3:30am (I go to bed early to get up early in Vegas). That’s when all the “working girls” start trying a last ditch effort to find a job and the people watching is spectacular (they don’t have a shot with me; I’m just fascinated by the consistency and desperation).

Love your channel, just so you know there’s two Starbucks at aria. The hidden one lol is past salt and Ivy a little walk around and you’ll see it. It has certain hours but it’s there.

@@JoshRachaelyeah in the area zarkana used to be. I just discovered it myself as a repeat aria guest my wife loves Starbucks. One day there a lady at pressed juicery was having a convo with her co worker talking about the line at Starbucks and she mentioned if people only knew about the other one. It has limited hours and is sorta hidden but trust me unless they changed it it’s there.

Your coffee trick at Aria is one of my moves too! I tell people that are standing in line right beside it, but they never listen. Great content!

I am here right now and NOT a fan. Yes its a nice place. But the rooms don't have an extra fridge for your waters and leftovers. No microwave or coffee maker/keurig. (Yes I know those are random luxuries) Went to Salt and I've. The food was FANTASTIC. But the service was absolutely terrible. Our food showed up before our drinks and we waited 10m to order, had to ask for our drinks, and waited another 10m after we were done to get our check. The 3 of us left and my wife then went to join our daughters table of 12, who were over half done eating. And a party over 10? Is an automatic $60/pp charge. So when my wife sat down. She got charged $60 when she didn't order a thing and had just spent $170 for our party of 3 10 minutes earlier. Will NEVER stay at this place again. Flamingo or Resort World Conrad is the only way to roll.

Never heard that about Salt and Ivy. We have become numb to MGM properties not having an extra fridge I suppose but I can’t see liking Flamingo over Aria ever personally
