    Carbone is incredible.
    Rigatoni vodka sauce is the best on the planet.i won’t eat it anywhere else .
    Meatballs,veal, seafood pasta are all fabulous.Meatballs are not on the menu but always available.
    Most of the entrees are large and can be split.

    Regarding Jean George,It does not have the fountain view that Prime has at Bellagio ,I like the food,menu,and service better.Great bartenders!

    Both are on the “Eating Las Vegas” essential 52 list along with two other Aria restaurants Sage and Julian Serrano.

    I’m an Aria regular, although it’s been 6 months since my last trip to LV. I always hit up Javier’s and Carbone. I usually have my final dinner at Carbone and order pretty much the same thing, the table side prepared Caesar’s salad, spicy rigatoni and the veal Parmesan. It’s such a wonderful meal and the service is impeccable. If you are there over the weekend, the brunch at Bardot is great. You can’t go wrong with any of the restaurants on the property in my opinion.

    I love the gaming floor, the craps pit and crews are some of the best in town. Enjoy.

    Thank you for the Carbone review and suggestions! I will definitely try these when I go!

    I would highly recommend the hot stone massage at Aria. 80 minutes if you can. Susan would be preferred therapist if available (you should definitely ask).

    Some noise pollution can happen to hot tub steam rooms and coed outdoor pool, but it doesn’t interfere with treatment rooms or mediation areas. I personally love the Coed outdoor space

    Herringbone is great for dinner on the patio overlooking the pool complex —usually have a DJ playing so its nice upbeat vibe (but not overly loud).

    Aria has the best “free” gym of any casino on the strip IMO. If you are planning to work out at all, its a solid setup (plus I usually grab a few bottles of complimentary water on the way out for my room).

    Carbone and Jean Georges are top notch.

    Javiers for chips/salsas and margaritas (altho I think their entrees are over hyped).

    The Aria cafe used to be very good for breakfast, but we were disappointed last trip.

    Aria pools are very nice, and won’t be crowded mid-week.

    Uber/Lyft pickup is by the North Valet—you go down the escalators like you are going to Jewel nightclub and then you exit the doors right by the club.

    Enjoy yourself. Aria is our favorite place by a wide margin!

    Yes. I have had a resort room. They have a coffee machine and snacks throughout they day. Compared to the SkySuites the offerings in the Resort lounge were nicer. The only deterrent is the treck through the casino in my Pyjamas for morning coffee (but this is Vegas, so no judging).

    @Farner considering my favorite people watching game on the Strip besides watching baby giraffes eat it, is "excuse me, Miss, you seem to have forgotten your pants" I don't think anyone will be scandalized by my messy bun, wife beater and yoga pants.

    Slated for August stay at Aria. Was your upgrade an email upgrade, or did you contact them? I am interested in the resort club upgrade but don’t want to pay for it too early. Thanks in advance.
     
    I really like this place!

    Missed this first time around.

    I've had many meals under that kind of influence, so hard to remember :)

    Did you give it a spin?

    Used Uber pickup at Aria. When it's crowded the one lane solution is bad.
    Driver gave us the hint to use the Vdara pick up. Much quicker.

    Agree on that, definitely a "pro tip"! The new ride share pick-up area at Aria is awful.

    One of the "door men" at the north valet at Aria reminds me of Samuel L. Jackson. Love it every time I see him.

    We had tremendous service at Aria.....we got upgraded to the 53rd floor corner panoramic suite. The CS in the lounge was superb. We did not get to 5-50, I did try but it was 3am :) Slots were tight, some small jackpots ($250 - $350). We had champagne and strawberries delivered on the house, and then later on we had two boxes of specialty candy/nuts delivered.

    Mad the mistake of going to the Cosmo, and lost my wallet. Dumb move on my part.....don't know how I lost it. Had more than a few dollars in it and of course all my Cdn ID.

    Wynn was terrific, we will be back. We have better offers from mlife properties as a result of the Aria experience (we may try Bellagio Tower King)

    That sucks that you lost your wallet, hopefully you will be able to get your Canadian ID replaced quickly. I've always found Aria's slots tight, but not as tight as Cosmo's. But the last time I was at Cosmo, I was playing with a guy who had a buddy stop by the table and showed a fist full of 1099 (tax forms). I think he won less than he spent because he was saying he's going home $2000 down for the week. Yikes!
