This hotel is more than deserving of a landmark 200th review. It is absolutely gorgeous and amazing in design. Every detail is an architectural masterpiece, and no hallway, faucet, or piece of furniture was not strategically planned, chosen, and placed. The fine art collection throughout CItyCenter is another great aesthetic treat for guests. Around every corner was a piece to be appreciated and admired.\n\nDue to a clerical error in assigning rooms which was bothersome, we were upgraded to a SkySuite. If you ever get a chance, stay at the Aria in a SkySuite. You will feel like a VIP! Our room was beautiful and modern, but small. The suite next door had much more square footage, so I guess we weren't THAT VIP. :) The views from our room were absolutely breathtaking - you see the rest of CityCenter, all the way to Mandalay Bay and all the way to Paris on the other side. The services we received as a benefit of staying in a SkySuite were awesome. The housekeeping team was top-notch and the service staff tending the lounge with food and beverage amenities were so kind, attentive, and helpful. They really made us comfortable and pampered.\n\nWe tried only one restaurant inside the hotel - Cafe Vettro. Aria needs to clean house in that restaurant and get new management, a new head chef, and new wait staff. See my review for details.\n\nThe various bars and lounges inside the hotel are awesome. We loved Bar Moderno with the amazing piano player who took our request and played it beautifully! The View Bar by the front desk is amazing because of the artwork on the wall of the paint-brushed purple - that may have been my favorite piece.\n\nThe location of Aria at CityCenter is so convenient. We easily walked to shop at Crystals and at the Miracle Mile shops across the street, as well as walk along The Strip for some people-watching while drinking Bloody Marys. Even traveling to the other side of The Strip by cab was convenient. There are taxi stations outside of every exit. This made high-heel-wearing in Vegas much less painful!\n\nOverall, it was an amazing experience, and I'd love to stay in Aria again, preferably like a VIP in a SkySuite!
