Rate Vegas

Stayed at Aria for five nights. Upon check in, the front desk agent told me that they were out of non-smoking, strip view, high floor rooms. We were given a key to a smoking, mountain view room on the 23rd floor. So much for the 20.00 trick. When we entered our room, it was dirty!!! So, we walked back to the lobby and I went to a different front desk agent who checked us into a high floor, non-smoking, strip view room. The rooms are wonderful. We left a tip everyday for housekeeping and received great service. The high tech in the rooms was easy to figure out and very useful. The safe is located in the night stand drawer. There is not a coffee maker in the rooms. Before arriving, I called the concierge to find out about the vanilla scent in the casino that everyone was commenting on. I was told that they do not pump anything into the air. Well, I have to disagree as it smells like vanilla musk. It isn't a bad smell, it actually gets rid of the smoke odour. Watch your bill at check out!! I was billed for a camera from the mini bar that we didn't touch and was billed for two phone calls made to the concierge desk. There are still some glitches in their system. The bakery near the elevators is excellent for a quick coffee and croissant. We did the spa but would recommend the Cannon Ranch at Venetian instead. All in all, I would stay here again.
