text: I'm a huge fan of the Aria. I stayed here with my dad a few weeks ago. The rooms are super nice and modern. The room is controlled by a little tablet and the view from either side of the hotel is great. The hotel is ideally located on the strip so you can access all the other hotels easily. I particularly enjoyed sitting and listening to live music each night at one of the bar areas near the elevators. \n\nThe check in was not as bad as some people complain about on other reviews. Took about 20 minutes to check in even though the line was huge. Staff was nice \n\nThere are several pools that are pretty nice to catch some rays. \n\nI liked everything but if I were to go again I'd skip the buffet (it was just okay)
