Vegas buffets tend to be all pretty similar. Mass produced, widely varied, heat lamped foods that satiate your every food craving but rarely leaves you thinking you had a fine dining experience. Back in the day, when buffets were $9.95, all of that was fine. But now, a family of 4 will easily leave a buffet out more than a C-note even if you don't order a beer or glass of wine with your meal. \n\nAria is on the expensive side even by Vegas standards. Better selection than most. Appreciated the Indian food options and healthy portions of pre-cut crab legs that I didn't see at other buffets. Their sushi was also pretty good but a bit annoying that there was far more sushi rice than fish.\n\nAll in all, I'd give the Aria 4 stars as far as buffets go so far as the food is concerned. However, I feel compelled to ding them a star for their lack of a child rate. They wanted the same $24.95 (+tax and tip) for my 7-year old daughter's lunch who had all of 1/2 a slice of pizza and a cheerio as they wanted for my wife and I . I didn't figure that out til after we'd paid for our meal. Beware future family travelers to Vegas.
