text: I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by my stay. I booked my hotel/flight for 3 nights through Southwest Vacations all for ~$500. But shortly after, reading some reviews got me a bit worried. Here are some things I would like to clarify after reading some reviews.\n\n1) Resort Fee - YES. Unfortunately this a trend in Las Vegas. Aria is certainly not the only hotel to have this and unfortunately it is one of the higher resort fees. It gives you access to the Gym, Free internet throughout the ENTIRE casino, some random other things - it does NOT give you access to the spa (my one major let down). The spa facility charges $30 just for entrance.\n\n2) Housekeeping - COMES EVERYDAY. I'm not sure who's review it was that I read but they complained about not getting their room serviced... uhm.. definitely not true. Perhaps they forgot they had their \"privacy\" light on. The control panel by the front door has a button for \"Lights\" \"Privacy\" and \"Service.\" They did such a great job cleaning my crap everyday. No complaints from me.\n\nNow onto some of my observations/experiences.\n\n- Rooms: SO SPACIOUS! Got a large king bed that was ubbber comfy. I slept so well every night. I loved that there was a button next to the bed labeled \"Good Night\" and it would 1) turn off all the lights in the room 2) electronically pull the sheer and solid curtain. In the morning, I heard the solid curtain open up. It was a great way to wake up - I didn't have the sun blaring into my eyes but I could still see the daylight. LOVED it.\n\n- Bathroom: I really loved the bathroom. Nice big tub (big enough for 2) with a nice shower. Great temperature control and pressure. \n\n- Bathrobes: LIKE A DREAM. Okay I admit.. I pretty much changed out of my regular clothes as soon as I got in to the room just so that I could put on the robe. Yes.. that comfortable.\n\n- In room service: Okay.. food was so-so... err.. okay so-so may be actually generous. I ordered probably the most bland quesadilla in my life. \n\n- Rest of the hotel: I really liked having different elevators for different floors. I was on the 25th floor. There were 4 elevators dedicated for just the 25-30th floors. I never waited long. The elevators were amazingly fast and quiet. Pools looked awesome - didn't actually go into them but there were so many different ones.\n\n**TIP**: expect to pay MORE $$ for any taxi ride going TO aria/cosmopolitan - the road that leads to their front goes through some weird back route and unfortunately that tacks on maybe $4 -5 bucks. If you are coming FROM the airport, take the shuttle that is $6/person one way. The taxi ride will be ~$20. On the other hand, if you are GOING to the airport, its a quick ride ~$12.00.
