I did the upgrade in December. I enjoyed the experience. I am glad I did it for the experience but would not do it again unless I was there with a group of people who were hanging out. It was too much room for the wife and I.
You will get an email from a concierge closer to your stay asking what time you are going to arrive so they can try to have your room ready and ask if you anything else. We had them have our show tickets ready for example.
When you go through the main doors at
Aria stay to your left and there are doors which lead you to the Tower Suites check in and lounge. Just before you turn left to go into the casino itself. There are also a set of doors from the Casino side to get into the lounge but you need your door pass which you get at check in. Check in is pretty fast as they a pile of people working in there.
The Tower Lounge. It's nice to be able to pop in there and get free juice, pop and water. Ere ent to
Red Rock one day and grabbed a bunch of water and left and nobody seemed to care. I grabbed tons of oj and pop for mix in the room and nobody cared. They also have a private one person washroom that is pretty nice. I wouldn't get worked up at the food or snack offerings unless we were on an off week. They have nice pastries and chocolates for breakfast and that was it. Cold ravioli for the entire week. They did not mix it up once. There aren't many seats in there and at busy times you can end up sharing a couch or seats around a table with others. They also have an Eva Braun character standing watch refreshing the drinks and snacks but it's just weird that he or she stands there like a security guard watching you.
The room itself in gorgeous. We were on the 245th looking at the Palms, Rio, Orlenas and Mountains. Not bad. There is no real strip view at
Aria.
You get a living room and dining room area with a small dining table. Which has plenty of room.
You get a fridge with an ice maker.
There is a slide door to the bedroom if somebody wants privacy to go to sleep.
There three tv's. One in the living, one in the bed and one by the bath. We just put on music channels so you can have music throughout.
The bidet, butt blow dryer and heated toilet seat will spoil your butt.
They provide shave kits and toothbrush kits which is a nice touch.
There is a half bath at the door as well.
We didn't care for the tub actually. It is a spa but is really loud when running and if you are trying to have a romantic tub date it's just loud and the water is only on one setting. Niagara Falls. You can't adjust it down. The tub in the standard room is nicer.
People complain about the walk from the elevator. We weren't that far really. A little longer than normal but not bad.
Have a look at my trip report I posted lots of photos of the room and bathroom but there are different layouts as mentioned.

I also have packed prosecco, to have for mimosas in the room in the mornings. I like having the fridge. And if you have a suite, why NOT have a fun "nibbles and mimosas" breakfast in the room?
