The line for regular check-in was quite long while there was no line at all for those holding Platinum status. Upon arrival at Aria my M-Life status came in useful almost immediately. ( If you’re not already signed up with Uber you can do so via my referral link here – you’ll get credit towards your first ride and I’ll get credit towards a future ride). The journey from the airport to Aria took 14 minutes and cost $12.68 – less than half of what I’ve seen taxis charge visitors. Uber is one of the best things to ever come to Vegas because it finally gives travelers an alternative to the abhorrent Taxi cartels that gouge visitors on a daily basis (we ended up using Uber quite a bit on this trip, both in Vegas and San Francisco, and the service was almost universally good). We flew into Las Vegas Terminal 3 and, after collecting our baggage, headed to the valet parking section of the parking lot which is where Uber and Lyft are allowed to pick up. ![]() I was also thinking that my Hyatt/M-Life status may see us upgraded anyway….so why pay? □ Arrival & Check-In (Interestingly, rooms with two Queen beds are generally more expensive at Aria and most other Las Vegas resorts…presumably because the hotel assumes the cost of the room is being split). I booked Aria direct through the M-Life website because that’s almost always the cheapest way to go – I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a major Las Vegas casino cheaper on an OTA site than on the hotel’s own site.Īt the time of booking I selected a Deluxe King Room (the basic room that Aria sells) because, for the amount of time we actually spend in the room when in Vegas, a 520 sq ft room at a 5* hotel is more than enough. Stays at M-Life hotels count towards Hyatt status requalification – something I’m struggling with right now).Īria is very centrally located on the main part of the Las Vegas Strip Booking.Thanks to the M-Life/Hyatt partnership my Hyatt Diamond status gets me M-Life Platinum status which is useful for skipping lines at all M-Life hotels (of which Aria is one) and should see me get better than average treatment during our stay.I wanted somewhere central on the Strip so that we could easily walk to most places we wanted to visit.I thought it would be nice for Joanna and I to try out somewhere new.I had a number of reasons for choosing Aria for this trip. I’ve been to Las Vegas more times than I can remember but I’ve never stayed at Aria before. I’ve walked through City Center (the complex within which you’ll find Aria) on countless occasions and I’ve gambled in the Aria casino more times than I’d care to admit but, before this trip, I’d never seen inside one of the hotel’s rooms.
