A lovely week at the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas

As luxury hotels go in Las Vegas you cannot go far wrong with the Aria. Of course it is not in the class of the Bellagio or the Wynn but it is fine hotel with all the facilities you need, and then some.

A night at the Aria normally costs $153 which is a great price, but the price varies all the time. Over the next 6 weeks the price varies from $153 to $762 per night. This is all dependent on what convention is in town, what music or sports event is on and so forth.

This is the large, colorful lobby. They regularly have Chinese themed decorations here too. I stayed here once over the Chinese New Year and the lobby was marvelous.

The room:

As you enter the room there are 2 closets and a chest of drawers on the right and the large bathroom on the left. the closets come complete with iron, ironing board, dressing gowns and luggage rack.

My room was a reasonably standard Vegas style room up on the 16th floor. There is a lot of space when you compare it to a normal hotel room. Really large window with a great view, electric curtains, electric blackout curtain, all controlled from the pad next to the bed.

This is the view I had on this trip. My main view was north but I could see west all the way back to the football stadium.

These 2 lounge chairs with the table in between were very useful for sitting in the sun.

Opposite the bed is this large unit with desk, fridge and counter. The desk includes an audio video panel on the left for connecting with the tv if you want to play content. It also has a lamp and a phone. There are I think 4 phones in total in the room.

On the left is the snack tray, tissues, ice bucket and below the stocked refrigerator.

Nice to have water available (even if it is a bit expensive) as well as proper glasses.

The fridge is fully stocked with soda, beer, wine, alcohol and snacks. Can be fun if you don’t mind the price. The Aria has fallen behind most other hotels in Vegas who now have a small personal fridge available for your own use. I was at the Venetian a month ago and they have a similar stocked fridge but then also a mini fridge just for you.

Here is the bed with tables and lamps on either side. On the left is the pad with all the controls as well as all hotel information and restaurant menus. On the right is the bedside phone and you can see power plugs on both sides as well as light switches.

The bathroom:

Rather a good bathroom I thought. Separate shower, toilet, bath and sinks. a nice large space. Here are the 2 sinks with tissues as well as body lotion and hand wash.

This is the bath area which comes with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. This area is a separate space as it has the shower next to the bath.

Here is the phone in the loo for emergencies I guess.

Room conclusion:

This was the view from the bed looking out at the sunset. Rather special I thought.

The rest of the hotel:

This is the walk way that leads to the spa, salon, fitness center, and the pool area. It is very elegantly fitted and decorated. Some amazing items on display.

To the right is the spa with a large shop and through the doors is the pool deck.

There are 3 different pools and at least 3 warm jacuzzis. There is a pool bar as well as many servers walking around who will bring you drinks and snacks where you are lying.

There are many fancy restaurants, bakery and ice cream shops, convenience stores, clothes shops and more. Almost anything you want is available.

A FedEx store is also available for business or postage needs.

Conclusion:

For $153 a night you cannot go wrong at the Aria, but whatever price you pay or event you are there for, enjoy Las Vegas.
