@@heyitsraymond that comment made my night 🤣! I'm pretty sure someone actually died in Javier's right before we got there so you might be on to something 🤔
@@heyitsraymond a pain I know all too well 🥵🧯
Thank you for such an honest review! My husband and I have been to Vegas several times (pre-2020) and have always had a wonderful time staying in very spacious rooms/suites. We have stayed at Hilton Grand Vacations Club (2 bed, 2 bath suite that we shared with a friend), Tahiti Village Resort (off strip timeshare), Wynn and Palazzo. Thankfully we have never had issues with the cleanliness of our rooms. That would be a deal breaker for me. Sorry your experience at the Aria left much to be desired.
Sounds like you've stayed at some good places! Palazzo is one of my all time favourites and actually the first place I ever stayed in Vegas. I'd still be willing to give Aria another chance but yeah this stay just wasn't it. We did a tour of another room last year that was so nice. Still a little banged up but much better than this room. Thanks so much for watching and commenting 😊
Here’s a tip for everyone. If you want accommodations or special requests talk to management days BEFORE your arrival. I always call and specifically request a higher room due to privacy and seclusion
Do they charge you more for your request? And do you have status with MGM or do you do this with any place you stay?
@@Spot_Wright no status I just call up and ask no extra charge. I kinda befriended the staff
@@RealKevGotEm that's great advice. I will definitely try that for my next trip. Thanks!
Sadly, more and more Las Vegas is becoming underwhelming, unless your a ultra high roller. More and more service, experience, and down right feeling like your getting ripped off is the norm.
I couldn't agree more! The value just isn't there like it used to be. They still have me hooked though ☺️
Lastly I’ll say I always stay on floors 39-54. We had 17 one time that was embarrassing.
Wanna know something? Better rooms are given to people who the staff like and feel good about. It’s all psychology based. 😉
Yeah the higher the floor, you typically get a better view. The downside is you sometimes have to wait a bit for an elevator but the views are hopefully worth it. And i definitely agree. Kindness definitely goes a long way.
I stayed at Aria in January for the first time and won't go back until they renovate the rooms. Similar to your review, my room was banged up, very dusty and there were loud noises inside and outside of the room.
It's wild how many people have similar stories! I had no idea before going there. I wish I had known. I probably wouldn't have booked there. For one of MGM's top properties, it's unacceptable.
I said something to concierge about the dust. They didn’t know they weren’t being cleaned like that. I was just there last week. 4 years we’ve stayed with them. It’s always dusty in the room. Rooms are very clean, property is clean and staff is extremly professional. I’m sorry you didn’t have a good stay
Disappointed is not even close, I’ve stay there before, now we just not going to Vegas anymore, $300 a day when they had 3000x guess had slept in same bed, resorts fees $50, parking fees $45 + tax and driving time gas no food $470 a day for room you only to rest this is suckers 😂
It's true. Vegas is definitely getting ridiculously expensive and pricing themselves out of a lot of people's budgets. It's a shame.
You’re 💯% correct! Aria is well beyond its time for a renovation. Secondly, like you, I had bigger problems, yet they were unwilling to waive one of my 4 nights paid. The whole complex is lacking.
That's disappointing. I believe we spoke to a casino rep to eventually get everything sorted out. It shouldn't have to come to that though. We didn't want freebies. We just wanted a half decent stay and we definitely did not get that. Hopefully they fix up the rooms and get their stuff sorted out. I'd be willing to give them another chance!
What needs to be renovated? There is nothing old about Aria. It’s very nice
@@RealKevGotEm
Have you stayed recently? Look at air conditioning vents, the walls, the carpet, the marble in the bathroom, OMG! Not worth the price and if “comped”, better deals to be had.
@@alyonapetrova694 I just came back home last Tuesday from a weekend there. Yes the rooms are dusty but everything is okay. We stay top floors which are probably “less populated”
The lack of obvious things being overlooked is very concerning to me. What else are they not cleaning/tending to?? Likely an understaffing issue but it is still no excuse. It’s not cheap to stay at these resorts and you should at the very least know you are staying in a clean room.
You're absolutely right and that's really gross to think about for sure! At the very least, they should absolutely provide you with a clean room. And you can definitely see the people servicing the rooms don't care. This isn't unique to MGM properties either as we have had similar experience in Caesars properties as well. Sad to see Vegas going in this direction.
I've stayed @ Aria three times this past year including one stay at The Sky Suites and completely agree with your assessment. The basic rooms are in need of a refresh along of the Sky Suites. But it's really the lack of attention to detail and sense of pride by some of the staff that needs to be addressed by management. Yes, Aria has a great pool and restaurants but basic expectations are not met.
For my next stay I'm seriously considering going back to The Bellagio ( yes I'm an MGM guy ) or even checking out The Fontainebleau which I'm guessing is really going to be happening come pool season.
So it wasn't just us! I have noticed this at many properties in Vegas over the last couple of years and it's unfortunate as prices continue to rise but the value doesn't.
Bellagio is nice for sure but I've also experienced issues there as well. Cosmo is a great option and will soon be in the MGM network. People seem to really like Park MGM and Nomad as well.
We hung out at Fontainebleau for a few hours and really liked it. It's a new place so customer service is always going to be better in those situations. Definitely worth trying them out and giving them a chance!
Honestly , you pay for it but The Wynn does it right. Aria ,Bellagio and Cosmo were Five Star properties prior to Covid but now I feel they are merely trading on their past reputations.
@@samizen7418 couldn't agree more about Bellagio, Aria and Cosmo. But in all my Vegas trips over the years, I've never stayed at Wynn/Encore and it's definitely on my list. I'll have to give them a try on a future stay!
Great video! Thanks so much for your honesty!
Wow, this really sounds like my stay at Bellagio - especially the room service. I had to call several times for that.
I'm hoping not to have the same experience at Vdara but one never knows. Is Vdara as far off-strip as Aria? I kind of see it as being a bit more walkable (even to Park/NYNY, etc.)
I had considered Fontain Bleau, but I also prefer to be more central strip as I don't rent a car so it is much more walkable. If they build the area more bilt-up around Fontain Bleau/Conrads (Resorts World) etc, I think it would be a nice option to stay.
I am curious your thoughts on Conrad in April. I think I might try and head down to that end for one of the nights even just for a walk around there and Fontain Bleau to check out EDC activities.
Nobu sounds interesting, but with the bad services at MGM higher-end properties, I would not like to pay for a stay at Nobu only to find that the higher end Ceasar's property is the same.
I have been wondering if service is better if you pay more for higher-end rooms? That shouldn't be the case, but it seems to be the way that things are going now - the attitude on higher-end properties in Vegas really seems to be like Titanic now - Base rooms are what most travelers will go for, its probably where they make the most $$, but you're considered "Third Class" so don't expect service. Sad really.
Vdara and Aria are very close to one another so you are definitely in a similar situation distance wise to the strip. That clip at the beginning of the video that shows Aria was actually taken from the pool deck of Vdara. Don't let that discourage you though because Vdara is much smaller and a lot less busy as there is no casino and not a lot of restaurants or lounges. You also have the built in walkways to Bellagio and Cosmo so it's really not that bad. You will get your steps in though! I will definitely be posting of my experiences at Conrad so stay tuned for that! You'll have to let me know what your thoughts are if you check it out. It's a nice property and Fontainebleau is definitely really cool!
Aria is my favorite place to stay in Vegas. I love the location, casino and overall size of the property. I have experienced some of the same issues with getting the room serviced. Ever since covid, it has not been the same, which is disappointing, but is not a deal breaker for me, as now I call housekeeping in the morning and request the room to be serviced. I know, should not have to do that, but it saves me from being frustrated when I get back to the room after a long day of being out and about. My stay is 100% comped every time already, so if something does irritate me to the point I need to complain, they usually give me food and beverage comps. Now that the Cosmopolitan is part of MGM, I may book there next time.
The Cosmo is definitely nice and I would strongly recommend checking it out. I have done a few videos there. The rooms are fantastic and so many restaurants to choose from. Plus a great location.
We may give Aria another chance though as there are so many things going for the property.
But I agree that post COVID Vegas is definitely not the same 😞
Im a cosmopolitan person myself, but i have stayed at the aria and the sky suites, and I've gone with picky people, i guess we've always been lucky because I've never had a problem and always enjoyed my stay there.😂
The Cosmo is definitely one of my favourites. I'd be willing to give Aria another chance but this stay just really disappointed me. So many hiccups along the way. Maybe we will have to give them another try.
I stayed there last may and had the same experience. Too much to put here. We got comped one night. They have really let that place go to the dogs, which is fine, don’t charge 5 star prices or market yourself as a 5 star hotel. It’s not being fair.
That's just it. It's not fair to make us pay five star prices (even if comped) if you're not getting the five star treatment. I certainly didn't feel like I was in a five star resort. I had a better stay at Mirage!
I do like that bathroom! minus the tissue on the floor lol It doesn't look like that bad of a room. After watching and hearing everything. That would definitely be frustrating. I wonder how long that Dr. Pepper bottle will be there. The big hotels need to realize that there are people out there like us that review rooms and you never know when someone is going to put that out for everyone to see. Rooms should always be clean and ready for a review whether it's video or a Google review. Thanks for the video!
Absolutely. It should be review ready regardless of who is staying in there. Free or not, people book a room expecting, at the minimum, a clean and safe place to rest their heads. If you can't even provide that then what are you doing? That's sort of unfortunately the way a lot of Vegas hotels are going these days and it's just sad.
I stayed there once for 2 comp nights a few years back and would never stay there again. I found the room to be run down, small, dark and dreary. And it was the filthiest room ever! White substance over various pieces of furniture and hair in shower. Called down about it, but neither was ever addressed. I was busy attending a conference and didn't have time to follow it up too much at the time. It was GROSS! Plus, I'm not a fan of the property itself, and I hate it's location...it's a fair walk from room to strip.
It's crazy how many similar stories like ours have come up. I had no idea! I always thought Aria was so nice but this stay and hearing stories like yours has really opened my eyes. Such a bummer!
I stayed a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it, but i only had to pay $50/day for resort fees everything else was comped so can’t complain about that price
It's hit or miss. I'm surprised by all the comments from people who had bad stays because I always thought Aria was a good hotel. I'd be willing to give them another chance but this definitely didn't leave the best taste in my mouth.
Thank you for this review was just considering booking there in may
Oh no! Check out my other review for the corner suite I did a tour of last year. That room was fabulous. But yeah this stay was not it and I'm super bummed because I was really looking forward to staying there!
So it seems like I have had better experience at Park MGM and NYNY [lower end hotel] in their peasant rooms with getting room service than you did at Aria. Seems like the furniture has as many dings and scuff marks as like the Excalibur. Anyway I have stayed at the Aria and i know this is personal preference, but i don't like the casino and I felt like we were really far away from the strip. Again though I know Casino is just preference. Park MGM is my go to hotel though.
You're right! The scuffs did look as bad as Excalibur! That's so sad. And I agree about being far back from the strip. You know, I have never stayed at Park MGM but it has been on my list (even when it used to be Monte Carlo). I like playing in Park MGM as well as it's smoke free and so fresh in there. I honestly think we are going to have to give them a try next time because we aren't having much luck at some of these "higher end" properties. Any particular room style you recommend?
@@Spot_Wright NO i am fine with there base room but if you have the money they have some suites but they are still just larger base rooms. If i remember right , the suites didn't have anything special outside of being a larger room. I would not pay for a strip view, you are so far back and because the casino is like in front of the hotel you can't really even see the side walk. I enjoyed the room view of the nyny coaster or and not in a creepy way but the pool. Because we could look down directly at the pool from our room and see if it was a good time to go down or if it was too crowded, open recliners, etc if that makes sense. I really like the laid back pool at park mgm, at least when i was there it def was not a party pool area and you just go down to relax and sit out.
I like the sounds of that. We are heading back in April but our accommodations are all booked. That said, maybe we can sneak over to Park MGM for a night or two. I will definitely be going there to play my Planet Moolah machine by the Starbucks. It's a silly tradition we have 🤫
I think you should consider staying at Wynn/Encore, Fontainebleau, Resorts World, or Venetian/Palazzo.
I like Aria, but I can also get 2 comped rooms through MyVegas, so it's $55 a night. For that price, Aria is great.
I believe Aria is scheduled for a remodel very soon. Bellagio was recently remodeled, and MGM Grand is now being remodeled. Cheers.
I've never stayed at Wynn/Encore but it's definitely on my list. I've hung out in Fontainebleau but haven't stayed there yet and we're staying at the Conrad next stay (in April). Venetian/Palazzo are two of my favourites!
I've never actually used MyVegas for room comps. Can you use more than one per stay and do you have to pay for nights as well to use it?
Aria definitely needs a remodel. I did stay in a remodeled Bellagio room and they are definitely nice! Never tried MGM Grand but I'll have to add that to my list as well.
Thanks for the recommendations!
@@Spot_Wright You can not combine most offers/comps consecutively at MGM. If you want to stay 4 consecutive nights at Aria, 2 nights would be comped, but two would be full price (or maybe 10% off). They are also only good on certain weekdays and there are blackout dates.
Best thing to do if you're looking to save money would be to just do the two nights and then stay at a non-MGM property the other two days if you can get an offer from somewhere else.
There are no additional nights or other add-ons needed to purchase to use the comp, so if it was a 2 night stay only, you only pay the resort fees (unless you're Gold+) and taxes.
I'm using my first comp next month actually. Chose Bellagio over Aria. I think I made the right choice. You might not like MGM Grand if you don't like long hallways.
I think I got all that right, but if I didn't, someone will correct me. Cheers.
@@oldirtydawson I don't typically like the south end of the strip but maybe I do need to give MGM Grand a chance. The location is so big but lots of restaurants and things to do. The pool area looks nice! I got in trouble for filming in the casino once 🤫
@@Spot_Wright oh yeah you gotta go to the Wynn and especially stay at the Encore. The rooms are insane. The views from the strip view are crazy.
@@bethanyarnp8852 I really want to. Maybe I'll invest more time playing in their casino and see what kind of comps they hopefully throw my way.
I got my mom a free $170 bottle of wine from management for her bday 😌 last June. Befriend management that’s all
That's good advice for sure. Like they say, if you're hearing no, you're talking to the wrong people.
@@Spot_Wrightyou should’ve stood firm on “I’ll have management to come help”
@@RealKevGotEm I'm back in Vegas in August so I'll be better prepare with your advice!
I stayed at Vdara last week and I am also platinum all from gambling not from spend or status match so I gamble alot and fully comped. 2nd day I woke up to water gushing from the ceiling in the kitchen . I put a bucket under the water threw some towels down and called the front desk. I had to be moved in the middle of the night. My point is I didn't ask for anything extra and didn't complain cause shit happens.
Shit does happen. But that was also one thing; not a series of errors. And also a different hotel. If you saw in my Vdara video, when our room smelled like cat pee, we just moved rooms as well. Never asked for anything. Never got anything. Throughout any of the Aria stay, we never really asked for anything. Just for the room to be cleaned.
