City Center doesn't belong in Las Vegas. Aria's exterior looks more fit for downtown San Francisco. The casino area is extremely dark with very little lighting. The lobby and casino area had a vanilla smell that gave my a headache during my stay here.\n\nThe hotel rooms are very high tech with automated curtains and lighting. The bathroom is probably one of the nicer ones I've seen in Vegas. The touchscreen controls are a neat addition but I don't think hotel guests spend enough time in their rooms to play with the controls and enjoy it. I'm on vacation and don't want to sit there for an hour to learn how to use all this useless stuff. If they stayed at Aria, they probably did what I did. Spend as little time here as possible and walk over to the casinos next door to play because Aria's casino floor smells like a cheap strip club minus the boobs.\n\nIt was also difficult to navigate in Aria. The hotel layout is confusing and prior to leaving, I still couldn't find a fast way to get to my hotel room. The signs points me to one direction and I find myself walking around the whole floor to get to my room when I should have taken another turn and got there much faster. Maybe the alcohol hindered my ability to navigate intelligently but I still blame it on the hotel.\n\nIt's hard to explain why I don't like Aria without sounding like I had preconceived negative feelings towards this place. Just spend a couple hundred bucks on a night here and you'll see what I mean.\n\nHowever, customer service is top notch! I think they know their casino smells like cheap stripper lotion so they make it up with great service. I'll be back only if my next room is comped. By the way, I wouldn't know what cheap stripper lotion smells like, but I can imagine it would smell very much like Aria's casino floor. \n\nTip of the day: \"If you split 10's... Don't order anymore drinks!\" ;)
