Aria hands down my favorite. Usually, stay there twice a year and love it. Get a hand pay at least once per visit. The aria really defines luxury. Stayed in the sky suites few times, and those are amazing. Can't forget the smell and the whole ambiance of ARIA. Truly luxurious
I agree, I am not a huge gambler but I still get comped at Aria, and I love it ! So nice and clean, and I love the dessert cafe also. Great location attached to other properties, so it makes it easy to get around the strip
I was waiting to hear why Aria remains undefeated! I’m a Vegas local and often do staycations all over LV & Henderson. IMO ARIA’s basic rooms are just that super basic and kinda outdated especially for the price you pay. Yes they may have decent food n bar spots but a lot of other places do too. IMO COSMO, VENETIAN/Palazzo, Wynn/Encore far exceed Aria. For the same price you pay at Aria for a regular room you’ll get a suite at VENETIAN/Palazzo.
My kids and I were discussing the phones in the restrooms in certain hotels and the only reason we could come up with was that since those rooms do tend to go to a lot of older guests, who have the time and expendable income to travel and visit Vegas often, they're probably some level of a safety courtesy. Should those more mature guests not feel well, while 'indisposed', they can easily reach over and get either hotel staff or dial 911 direct. So far, that's been the most plausible reason we could come up with. 🤷♂
Your spot on.... the same reason you see them in bathrooms in hospital bathrooms. The older we get the more we break down and getting stuck on the throne is a real thing for elders
Yeah, I thought so too...that if someone is sick and can't move too far the phone is there...I wasn't even thinking that it's specifically for odler people but for anyone who might get ill as in the bathroom is often where people go and get stuck when not feeling well.
It was once considered a sign of luxury and was even required by AAA for a hotel to achieve 4+Diamond rating. This of course was removed in the years of the cell phone. But some remain as a vestige of said “luxury”. I mean, you can’t expect a person of stature to run across the suite with their pants at their ankles to answer the phone, in order to secure that multimillion dollar contract from your client!
Been waiting on this video... Glad you made it this video, surprised the usual Vegas crew I watch hadn't made videos of the Aria/ vdara.. Dope video as usual 🔥🔥🔥
Aria is great . I scored an awesome deal with my gold status …a corner strip view tower suite for only $129 bucks for the entire 5 nights with $250 resort credit and $500 free play . Of course they will get me as I drop too much dinero gambling lol. Looking forward to checking out the new food hall . Great video 😎😎😎
ARIA is awesome, an absolute blast, great restaurants, clubs and suits are nice. Javier’s review is from a basic view and appreciate that but you have to see the upscale side of this place because it will blow your mind. I ate at 5 out of 9 restaurants, gambled and socialized. 5star was experience
Aria has oddly become our homebase when we go to Vegas now. In the past 4yrs we've stayed there thr most times. We just love it there. Not to mention it's a great place to rack up MGM rewards
Aria my #1 hotel! Have been a guest 3 times now and loved it each time. My daughter's name is also Aria. Can't wait to check out Proper eats next time we are in Vegas. Nice video!
The picture of building the complex is amazing. Very fancy and nice comfortable room. Seems like a place for conventions or business people. Your video is very nice. 🌸😻👍
We stayed there couple weeks ago and LOVED it! We had a great room high up with floor to ceiling windows end rock end covered by powered drapes which were so cool to operate. Very quiet and spacious suite. Friendly staff always available to help. Ate at Catch and Toca Modera which were amazing. Pool was great tho busy and snacks at the VIP lounge were complimentary and fresh. We’d definitely go back to Aria anytime! PS Aria has incredible concierge staff to assist with show/restaurant bookings. Ask for the amazing Erika M!
Yeah I checked out that food hall and thought it was super overpriced. I was gambling there for hours and got like three free drinks over three days. The bartender at Gem Bar ignored a ton of empty drinks, but he was working by himself when it was packed. I used to love it there, but I’m probably going to start doing more of my gaming off strip. The MGM properties really do seem to be more about Disneyland-style decorations and less about stuff I like, drinking and gambling. If they’re going to charge all of this money for literally everything they could at least compete with Downtown and off strip for customer service.
Din Tai fung is from Taiwan. It's also like half the price. It's decent for those who can't get to Taiwan where soup dumplings are everywhere for cheap.
I love the smell of crystals, Aria and Vdara... I'm always Aria/vdara person... Vdara for big groups and Aria if I want more privacy... Easy access to Walgreens and cvs...
Funny story, went to take a shower left my phone on the charger next to my bed, when I closed the door to take a shower my suitcase got wedged between the door and wall. Was locked in the bathroom with no phone till my husband came back. So I'm glad they have a phone in the bathroom
I’ve been hearing a lot about that dumping place. Im glad I got to hear your opinion on it. It sounds like it’s worth the price. I heard Fremont Hotel renovated the rooms and casino floor, I would love to see a review by you!😋
Aria....my second best hotel. I still love Mandalay Bay due to the location away from the crowd. But if you have limited visit time, ARIA is in the middle of .... everything.
for a trip to vegas in the summer, is it worth it spending the extra money to go to caesars or mandalay bay for the pool instead of booking cheaper places like flamengo or planet hollywood?
I believe all caesar's properties can use the same pools. You might want to call to confirm but if that's the case then just book Flamingo and go to Caesars
Excellent room and restaurant review, and terrific views of the food-made me hungry! No need to sacrifice $ to show the casino, but gamblers (bless their hearts) would like to know the table game minimums, and the presence of ETGs (electronic table games) and minimums, and to see their favorite slots (Buffalo?)…. If you have a gambling budget for the video, you could put it on the Pass Line or Don’t Pass on the craps machine and maybe double it. Let it ride for excitement and maybe quadruple it!
Not sure about UNDEFEATED. Wynn, Bellagio, and The Venetian are on par if not better than Aria. They all have their own special atmosphere, and one’s experiences sometimes depend largely on the foods, moods and occasions. Cheers!
Glad someone agrees that Javier's is overrated! If you get margaritas, get the cheap ones, because the signature namesake one isn't worth it! If you have Gold MGM Rewards you get the resort fees waived and free parking! Aria's Patisserie and the Market Cafe at sister property VDARA are both open 24 hours for any late night eats!
Want to know how lackluster the sportsbook is? I got to-go slices at that pizza place TWICE while I stayed (at Vdara)--I thought it was decent for being relatively quick-service--and I failed to notice the sportsbook was even there.
Phone in bathroom is necessary ..seniors can experience straining there body which happens by being constipated on the toliet, thus leading to heart issues.
I have always loved the Aria and always enjoy being there: even while acknowledging MGM made the same mistake they have made with most of the other resorts in their portfolio in milking them and dragging their feet in terms of investing in maintenance and remodeling. I feel the Aria is finally starting to undergo renovations of their rooms: which is definitely overdue as they were getting fairly beaten up and while they still are five-star based off of the amenities they offer..................they still didn't really justify the lofty pricing point for quite some time. That said, I'm encouraged by some of the recent decisions MGM has made there including their new food hall as well as the new High Limit Slots room which looks gorgeous. Hopefully the room renovation campaign isn't another patchwork effort and they just get it all out of the way as soon as possible, and I'd also like to see them completely reimagine their below-average pool area. Otherwise, I definitely have a soft spot for Aria and always have. 🙂
Would love to stay at the Aria, it's a nice hotel, great poker room but seems to attract a lot of negative reviews now perhaps because Cosmo is so much better.
I can appreciate the engineering and incredible design execution of this project as well as the investment of billions of dollars. With all the effort put into a modern and high end construction, they can’t get a $22 drink mastered? That gets me. The experience is everything and if the variables that can be controlled (service, hospitality, quality control) aren’t exceptional, it missed the opportunity to truly inspire people. I know it sounds petty, but it’s absolutely true that managers need to ensure the highest quality is produced to customers, at every level possible. How can the bar tender not have the knowledge or ability to make a fantastic drink? I understand taste is subjective, but you cannot compromise quality. Customers feel ripped off when they’ve been sold someone exceptional but received lack luster. The quality of the bedding is fantastic, the hotel casino is amazing, the marble flooring in the lobby is unbelievable, the drinks suck, who dropped the ball for the whole hotel?
The service at Aria the last time I was there was absolute trash. They didn't clean my room the entire week even though the clean room light was on the whole time. Everywhere on the property was understaffed. The entire place seems to now be for 22 year olds that don't know what they should expect.
The rooms are nice The recort fee is inaccuate M G.M reward cards waive resort fees Dont check into a room that isnt affordable The ceilings are low at least you"ll think you"re taller. Its a tempory room, not an apartment Eat at the Miracle Mile cheap drinks Reasonable prices
Tried the food hall last wknd, loved the Signature Seoul Chicken Sandwich from Seoul Bird. Stayed at Aria a few years ago, it was just okay in my experience.

What games do you play?
Slots i play Huff and puff, Buffalo, reel slots, lighting link. Table games I play roulette and craps
Hi y'all y'all can see my comment but my name is Aria♡
I agree, I am not a huge gambler but I still get comped at Aria, and I love it ! So nice and clean, and I love the dessert cafe also. Great location attached to other properties, so it makes it easy to get around the strip
I’m at the Aria right now and I love it! The room is clean and fresh and the location is very convenient. I’m also very happy with the food options.
Aria has always been my favorite resort since the first time i stayed there in 2014. It's just special.
You had me with your title! I loved it!!! Thanks for being part of my coffee time bro!!
Which coffee time?

No, it's to call for more tp because you ate too much taco bell.
Been waiting on this video... Glad you made it this video, surprised the usual Vegas crew I watch hadn't made videos of the Aria/ vdara..
Dope video as usual 🔥🔥🔥
I always stay in a corner suite when I go to Aria....classy property and relaxing
Aria is great . I scored an awesome deal with my gold status …a corner strip view tower suite for only $129 bucks for the entire 5 nights with $250 resort credit and $500 free play . Of course they will get me as I drop too much dinero gambling lol. Looking forward to checking out the new food hall . Great video 😎😎😎
Currently staying at this beautiful place. Definitely will return. The food options are great. There's a pleasant smell on the casino floor. Recommend
Javier’s salsa is legit. So flavorful
Great review,thanks for the info. It really helped
Glad it was helpful!
I hate that a lot of casinos stopped putting fridges in their standard rooms.

Love the Aria, great restaurant selection, another great video my friend!
One of my favorite hotel/casinos. The food court really helps level it up and the options are all great. Nice review.
Beautiful hotel and casino! The only place I stay every visit to Vegas, can’t wait to try the new food court
One of the best poker rooms in the world is worth mentioning.
Aria has oddly become our homebase when we go to Vegas now. In the past 4yrs we've stayed there thr most times. We just love it there. Not to mention it's a great place to rack up MGM rewards

Great vlog mate 👍
Staying at the Aria for the first time in June for my birthday. Excited to see it for myself! Thanks for the tips!
I’m so glad you made this video. I was having a hard time deciding between the Aria or the Bellagio!
Different Vibes. both great though
Great video. Can’t wait to go there again. I agree the margaritas at Javier’s are so good.
Love the Aria, it is the only place we stay in Vegas. It has everything we want and need.
Din Tai Fung is a must!🔥🔥🔥🔥
That pizza looked so sad. I miss Vegas but everything is so expensive these days and the exchange rate is terrible so I watch these videos.
The picture of building the complex is amazing. Very fancy and nice comfortable room. Seems like a place for conventions or business people. Your video is very nice. 🌸😻👍
Din Tai Fung originated in Taiwan. They currently have 119 locations around the world.
HOLY SSSH haha that's huge franchise!
@@Vegas-Must-Try LOL!! Somebody's making some money.....
They’re overrated
We stayed there couple weeks ago and LOVED it! We had a great room high up with floor to ceiling windows end rock end covered by powered drapes which were so cool to operate. Very quiet and spacious suite. Friendly staff always available to help. Ate at Catch and Toca Modera which were amazing. Pool was great tho busy and snacks at the VIP lounge were complimentary and fresh. We’d definitely go back to Aria anytime!

As always appreciate the info & your honesty Bro !
Great info! I love Aria 🎉
Finally got free room comps at the Aria this year so trying it out for the first time.
Yeah I checked out that food hall and thought it was super overpriced. I was gambling there for hours and got like three free drinks over three days. The bartender at Gem Bar ignored a ton of empty drinks, but he was working by himself when it was packed. I used to love it there, but I’m probably going to start doing more of my gaming off strip. The MGM properties really do seem to be more about Disneyland-style decorations and less about stuff I like, drinking and gambling. If they’re going to charge all of this money for literally everything they could at least compete with Downtown and off strip for customer service.
I often find that I get better deals off strip but service is hit or miss.
Thanks for sending that review.
The food court alone makes it great
Doing 4 nights in the Sky Suite 1 bedroom penthouse in a couple months... Can't wait!
Thanks booked my stay for July 2024. Nice information.
Another banger. 🎉
Thanks Paul!
I always stay here, honestly best place to stay at and nice play floor
Great review, I will be subscribing. Found you through Norma Geli. 👍
Great video bro keep doing these hotel videos love them
Last Aug was my first time staying there. Yup, they did a good job with Aria.
One of our favorites. Din Thi Fung is a must stop for us.
Thanks for the video! Staying there in April!
Good video and I like the location
I've stayed there before and I like the hotel. Going back in December. I've never been in December. Hope it's not to cold
Great video,, the Aria is on my list to stay at. Appreciate the video.
Great video
Din Tai fung is from Taiwan. It's also like half the price. It's decent for those who can't get to Taiwan where soup dumplings are everywhere for cheap.
I love the smell of crystals, Aria and Vdara... I'm always Aria/vdara person... Vdara for big groups and Aria if I want more privacy...
Easy access to Walgreens and cvs...
you should be a review of Vdara, im staying there in november for complexcon. i would love to hear your thoughts on it
The pizza by the sports book is really good.
Love the Aria
Funny story, went to take a shower left my phone on the charger next to my bed, when I closed the door to take a shower my suitcase got wedged between the door and wall. Was locked in the bathroom with no phone till my husband came back. So I'm glad they have a phone in the bathroom
You didn’t mention the Bardot Brasserie. Literally one of the best places on the entire strip.
I’ve been hearing a lot about that dumping place. Im glad I got to hear your opinion on it. It sounds like it’s worth the price. I heard Fremont Hotel renovated the rooms and casino floor, I would love to see a review by you!😋
Gotta be careful even opening the fridge too quick can get you charged for the contents shifting around
This place is nice and smells good and try dragon link in the high roller section.
Spent 3 nights 4 days this past week! Undefeated!!
Love love the Aria❤
What's with the safety glasses?
Jorge!!! ❤😊
MY dude Bobby
I enjoy your reviews and I love Javier's. I would be interested in your top five Mexican restaurants on the strip.
Aloha great videos
Great video and I'm impressed that you hold chopsticks better than me and I'm Chinese-Canadian! Lol
Love Din Tai Fung!
Aria....my second best hotel.
I still love Mandalay Bay due to the location away from the crowd. But if you have limited visit time, ARIA is in the middle of .... everything.

I believe all caesar's properties can use the same pools. You might want to call to confirm but if that's the case then just book Flamingo and go to Caesars
@@Vegas-Must-Try thanks. if pool jumping not allowed, is it worth paying the extra to stay at Caesars for the pool?
@@dramareynes9319 You cannot pool jump in any pool in Vegas. Lol
Din Tai Fung is amazing!!
The best
The best thing seemed to be the Chinese restaurant at the end.
Excellent room and restaurant review, and terrific views of the food-made me hungry! No need to sacrifice $ to show the casino, but gamblers (bless their hearts) would like to know the table game minimums, and the presence of ETGs (electronic table games) and minimums, and to see their favorite slots (Buffalo?)….

This is actually such a helpful, because I've never thought about talking about the minimum's at the tables
Not sure about UNDEFEATED. Wynn, Bellagio, and The Venetian are on par if not better than Aria. They all have their own special atmosphere, and one’s experiences sometimes depend largely on the foods, moods and occasions. Cheers!

“bathtub for 1 , can’t have fun with your significant other … Or others “
😂😂😂😂😮
Did you use your food credit? If so for what restaurant?
You are the best

Cool homie
New Video! Lets Go!!!
My mann
More content please!
Posting one today!
What site do you book your rooms on?
Always direct
I hate spending money on lame drinks so thanks for the tip!
What do you recommend if you're in the mood for mexican in that area?
Go out of the casino and go to “tacos el gordo”. It’s north strip but it will NOT disappoint you.
Aria is really underrated. For some reason mgm seems to put bellagio on the pedestal and charges more for there rooms but aria is way nicer
Bellagio is a Icon tho.
Looks like a Queen bed.

Lol the unnecessary and unsanitary phone 😅 but do love the look of the aria!

Din Tai Fung is from Taiwan. I have eaten at the original in Taipei.
Or “others” lol I def think the phone is there to directly call the front desk for toilet paper delivery
Hey George you need a camera man? I got full frame cinema fx6 ....Norma never responded 🤷
Where would you go for a sports book?
The rooms are nice
The recort fee is inaccuate
M G.M reward cards waive resort fees
Dont check into a room that isnt affordable
The ceilings are low
at least you"ll think you"re taller.
Its a tempory room,
not an apartment
Eat at the Miracle Mile cheap drinks
Reasonable prices
This was more a Din Tai Fung review than an Aria review 😅
I don't even order the dumplings at Din Tai Fung because their braized noodle soups and shrimp fried rice and baby ribs are so good.
I need to get on board with the Baby ribs??
Tried the food hall last wknd, loved the Signature Seoul Chicken Sandwich from Seoul Bird. Stayed at Aria a few years ago, it was just okay in my experience.
