It's been over 2 years + since my bf and I been back to Vegas.  We were both excited as we were offered to stay at the Aria for 4 nights for free plus 2 free buffet coupons.  \n\nWhen we arrived, the hotel registration desk area is very nice.  The lady who had helped us was very professional.  The only thing that I am very pissed off after the fact is that she had put us on the 7th floor at the end of the hall, about 2 doors away from being the end.  The walk is far .  At that moment, we were not feeling it with this nice hotel.\n\nAs soon as we scanned our key card, we opened the door and everything was automatic.  The curtains slowly opened, the lights slowly glowed in the room and the TV turned on by itself.  Everything in the room is very high-tech.  \n\nThe very next day, we went to dine at the buffet.  The meal was well over $75 for 2 people.  I am so glad it was free as I would never EVER come back again.  The food selection was very disappointing.  The food was so-so.  There is nothing about Aria buffet that made me said \"WOW\" about it.  If we had to paid for this buffet... the only thing that would of made the \"WOW\" noise would of been our wallet.  Believe me, it would of been the kind of \"WOW\" as if \"Wow, you got ripped off\".  \n\nAria is very hype and stylish... it attracted very young crowds.  The casino is not big.  The pool is way over-rated.  The cystal mall that's attached to Aria is all over-priced items.  We walked into the LV store and NO ONE welcomed us!  \n\nAlthough this place is right next to the Bellagio and across from Planet Hollywood.  Do not be fooled... It is not close at all.  You can take the free tram from Aria that brings you to the back of the Bellagio where you have to walk what seems to be 10 miles just to get to the poker room.  Aria is very inconvient to leave.  I've always been a big fan of nice big fancy hotel.  After this experience with Aria... I have learned to really appreciated locations such as Harrahs, Imperial Palace and Flamingo area.  \n\nAria - your place might be very high-tech.  I am extremely NOT impressed with your hotel.  With your next free offers, we would rather stay at Harrah's properties.
