Modern hotel without the pretentious atmosphere that you would find at the Wynn or the Palazzo. The technology within the rooms take time to get used to but overall was an ok choice for my wife and I.\n\nThe things that keep the Aria from the extra stars is due a host of problems. When my wife and I returned from dinner, our room was filled with marijuana. I called security and they said it must've come from the vents. Not that I have a problem with MJ but for my room to be filled with smoke is not ok. Granted they moved me to another room but all I got out of being inconvenienced and a headache was a $50 room credit. Really? My wife got dizzy and coughed for 20 minutes. If you've got a pair of jugs and know how to flirt the manager will give you a suite and comp the room yet we get a 50 room credit for our troubles? It's like big brother telling us to move along.\n\nThe curtains in our \"new\" room worked half the time and had to press it multiple times to get it to close. Lastly, every single time, and I want to reiterate, every single time, that I pressed the button to the elevator or waving the key card to my room, I would get static shocked! WTF? It's like the Aria just wanted to torture me. \n\nAside from that my birthday at the Aria was a mixed bag and for someone that goes to vegas 3x a year, I don't know if I will stay here again.
