    What's the shakes on Aria standard (Deluxe King) these days? Rooms refreshed? Rooms to avoid? Might be booking into a package that ends up here and have never done standard rooms and curious how I might make the most of it, and wonder how the place has generally been of late.

    Feelin' a bit more "into" the more relaxed/less walk-by traffic here potentially as opposed to MGM/NYNY/Park MGM being offered as the other package options and was curious how the general room life is here these days.....

    We stayed in one in March. We didn’t have any problems and the room was very clean. The control tablet has been wonky on some trips, but it worked fine this time.

    We like their king rooms...

    I just stayed in a Deluxe King 2 weekends ago. My only complaint is that the tablets are in dire need of updating - mine was laggy and unreliable. Room was quality otherwise.

    Mine was good. It served as a work from Vegas office quite nicely with that set up. Those hallways are longggg though, so I advise asking for something closer to the elevator if you’re into that. Mine was a bit on the worn side now that I think about it, but I loved the location and even better now if the tram is running!

    I must've been in "your room" last week then. I would press the blackout shade button, and it would go about 6 inches. I'd press it again, and it would go another 6 inches. After about 4 presses, it would open all the way. Same thing on closure.

    LOL

    Has anyone ever had an in-room tablet work perfectly? Every function?

    I've had three excellent stays at Aria. All three rooms were excellent. Tablet was always hit-or-miss. For particular fun, I had a small suite last stay... so there were tablet controls for lights in living room, bedroom, bathroom. Sheers all three, blackout all three. I'd close one set in one room, and another would open. Same with lights. The ghosts of Abbott &Costello channeled who's on first and haunted my tablet's programming!

    Cosmopolitan tablets not much better. Not sure of my memory, but vaguely recalling feeling no tablet works perfectly anywhere, my one stay at Wynn... but I'm honestly not sure Wynnhas tablets.

    Another fun tech thing in small suites... when the bedroom remote control turns on the Living room TV as you hit power to turn off the bedroom TV to sleep.... particularly fun in an Aria Panoramic studio.

    One type of room I'd recommend is the Stay Well. It's a little more expensive than the basic Deluxe King, unless you're Platinum (which I am, and always get upgraded to a Stay Well for free when I ask). It's on a nice floor (usually 24, though I think there's a second one, maybe 23), and the rooms have an air purifier and some good scents. The shower too. It just feels fresher and cleaner to me, I dunno... Look into it!

    At a standard right now. Asked for an upgrade to Stay Well at check-in as a Gold and when “the call” was made upstairs to the banker I got denied. It is pretty packed today and I’m on a comp stay so I’m not that surprised.

    Room is fine. My gripe w MGM is their refusal to let you use any part of the minibar to refrigerate anything. I’m hoping El Cheapo doesn’t start getting ideas from this. I asked to be closer to the elevators instead of being sent to Siberia for the “pool view”.

    Stayed at one a few weeks ago. Gotta say, they didn't impress me much. The room I was in was fine, but there were big discolorations on the carpet, stains on the throw comforter, and everything just seemed a bit worn in general. They could really use a refresh. It's still at or near top shelf for MGM standard rooms, but the City rooms at Cosmo or even the Augustus rooms at Caesars are in better shape for standard rooms right now, IMO.

    Well, it seems that the travel company had the better seats packaged with the MGM Grand so that's where we ended up again......couldn't say no to seats 12-15 rows off the corner of the stage for a four night run, so the tickets became the tail wagging the dog, as similar single-show pairs of seats on the secondary market are selling for as much as my four night ticket and room package did. So of coooooooooouuuuuurrrrrrse I was going to book the better seats, regardless of the specific MGM resort offered (Aria, MGM, Park, and NYNY were the choices). There is a certain convenience to staying at the host venue, albeit oft looking to escape the complex for good part of the day otherwise.....

    So I'll do the requisite homework on the place and try for a good "room draw", and make the most of the weekend, because I'll be sitting in the best seats I've ever had for Rock and Roll's greatest tradition, Phish playing on Halloween night.

    There's a reason the Raiders are on a bye week - it's us:D

    I can't even get my in-room laptop, which I brought with me and paid a lot of money for, to work perfectly. It should work, but it's pretty low on my list of things I worry about.

    Aria is still top notch. Great rooms, great casino area, not smoky and still has good restaurants. However, the restaurant collection is not as good as it was pre-Covid.
