Aria Hotel the Place to Stay
Last week I stayed at the Aria Hotel for three wonderful comped nights. I stayed at the Cosmopolitan Hotel for three nights first. Just a short walk from the Cosmo through the Crystals Shopping Mall to the Aria. Room was ready for me, in my room by 11am.
Never had very much good luck at the Aria before. But it has become one of my favorite hotels. Finally had some good luck on the penny slot machines. Hit for a few hundred on the "Sun and Earth" machine. then little bit later had very good luck on the "I Love Lucy" cascading tiles penny slot. Hit a winning streak where the wins just kept coming and coming. Cashed out with a very nice win! This version keeps track of your last five plays. You have a chance to win them again if you get the tiles to cascade for three straight times a play. It can add up quickly. Not much luck on the dollar machines for me. I did see quite a few people have good luck on the five dollar machines back by the Players Club desk area.
If you have not been to the Aria before, be ready, it is huge. And it is back off the strip a couple blocks, so have your walking shoes. Take advantage of the Crystals Shopping Mall. Walk thru the mall to get to the walkway out front on the LV Strip. And just short walk then to Cosmo and Bellagio. Or use the tram stop at Crystals to Bellagio or Monte Carlo. You can walk from the Aria casino to the Monte Carlo. Which will lead you yo the Monte Carlo street of shops. Then walk down to the New York or MGM. So the location is pretty for people who like the mid strip action.
I usually eat at the Buffet at the Aria. Very good, on par with Bellagio, Mirage, Wynn and Planet Hollywood. I tried the 24 hour cafe called Cafe Vettro. Food was very good, prices reasonable. Service was very good. The room is large and spacious. Nice atmosphere to have a relaxing casual meal. For snack food or quick drink the Elements is open 24 hours, Best hotel gift shop on the strip.
I saw the Elvis show before, once was enough for me. If your an Elvis fan you should enjoy. Very nice Elvis gift shop to browse for you.
This was a very nice vacation for me. Ready to stay at the Aria again!!

Cosmopolitan Glitz and Clamour on the Strip
Back from staying three nights at the Cosmopolitan and then the Aria. Went the week if July 10. First time staying at the Cosmo, I was invited to a slot tournament there. Then stayed another three nights at the Aria on a very nice comped deal.
The weather was hot, but not too bad for July. The high temp was around 100 every day. The suite at the Cosmo was a Terrace Suite. Very nice!! Enough space with a sitting area with a couch, writing desk and chair. Very comfy king size bed. Large bathroom. The room has the mini bar that I never use. Too expensive no matter where you stay. Room also has a microwave, but nothing to cook in it. No coffee, tea, soup, or popcorn. And no place in hotel to buy the foods for microwave. Room has a balcony with one chair and a stool. Great views from my room on the 37th floor.
Only place I ate was at the Wicked Spoon buffet. I think is ok, but pricey. Bellagio, Mirage, Aria and Planet Hollywood buffets are better for me. Not a drinker, so I don't try the bars. But did hear a very good rock band the "Nervous Wreckords" playing there. Be on the look out for their new cd release this fall.
I did win $500 in the $75,000 slot tournament. Was hoping for better of course!! Not much luck gambling the three days. But the Cosmo is very high, glitz and glamour. The chandelier in the middle is quite impressive. Stop by the Cosmopolitan and walk around. A bit different from the other strip casinos and hotels. I will let you find out for yourself.
Will post soon about my stay Aria. Have fun and good luck!!
