Even if Aria isn’t the best casino in Vegas, I believe it has the best collection of restaurants. Carbone? Catch? Jean Georges? Javiers? There’s just such a huge variety of trendy places to go!
Greetings from Thailand..I am an American guy retired in Thailand for the last 20 years. I miss Vegas and really enjoy your Vlogs in LV. The last time I was in Vegas hotels were around 50 bucks...not sure I will make it back but I hope to someday...Kuka in Pattaya, Thailand
My wife and I enjoyed ARIA too - we called it “ Heaven on Earth” in one of my blogs. The food experience was awesome and the pools were outstanding, to say the least. Thank you for sharing James - Traveling Chef Bari
Loved your video guy!!!! very cool video...music commentaries!! I just booked at Aria today from Expedia....and didn't know anything about it....glad I booked after seeing your video! Thanks now I'm really Jazzed to head up there on Saturday! i need a change from the SF bay area!!!
I LOVE Aria. You gotta try their Sky Suites sometime if you havent before. That or their Executive Hospitality Suite. That 4/6 will jump a 20/6! At least it did for me, absolutely gorgeous rooms. I have not been to Catch yet but every review I've watched has highly favored that crispy shrimp so its on my list to try when I return. Appreciate the reviews man. It quells my Vegas withdrawals
I've stayed in an executive hospitality suite and it was on another level. Literally, I think it was on the top - or second to the top - floor. I thought the pricing on it was quite fair actually. Usually those rooms are astronomically and egregiously overpriced, but I saw value in it. You will definitely see a sky suites video on this channel at some point 😎
Just found your channel. I love your review of this hotel. We just got back from a 4 night stay here and we absolutely loved this hotel. By far our favorite so far. It’s modern, clean and sophisticated. We loved the restaurants and the pool. Can’t wait to go back!! Great video!!!
Great video! Torn between the Cosmo, Aria and Palazzo. Had a blast at cosmo however, summer is coming and the pools will be so fun at cosmo, ugh face palm
For me, I now prefer aria over cosmo, so it would be aria vs palazzo for me, which is a dilemma! I'd let location (north vs south strip), restaurants, hotel theme (classic Italian vs modern), and trip goals (staying on campus vs bouncing around different properties) decide where you want to stay. And, above all else, because these hotels are so evenly matched, let price be the primary determining factor.
Bro im literally binge watching all ur shit. Last guy that had me by the nuts was Pompsi which he still does but bruh....vegas is my jam and ill watch anything u put out down there. Like sub 100%. And pretty damn good quality, energy, professionalism and im seeing brand new stuff with these resterants i have never ever seen before and i do hella vegas searching. Thanks big dog
@@Coolist Which one would you recommend? We are a young married couple, no kids yet but we will just go the 2 of us. My husband likes parties, bars, I like luxury.
:ove Aria ! Stayed in a Corner Panoramic Suite. Breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.... Amazing dining at Jean Georges and Carbone... The entire property is simply first class ! Staff was wonderful as well ! Thanks for posting !
No matter which you choose, the properties are connected via a walkway so accessing either is a simple 5 minute stroll. Personally, I'd stay at aria because of the superior dining options, enhanced sophistication across the property, and the notably more luxurious rooms. But, my answer 5 years ago would've been cosmo due to its sheer and unrivaled coolness. Let me know which one you choose!
@@Coolist we’re sticking with the Cosmo. Fingers cross UK/US borders open by our planned trip 8th July. Will let you know what our thoughts are if we manage to go. I have also have a planned trip with my wife and kids later July to Bal Harbor Miami - so cool you did a vid on that too!
Excellent music choice! Are you able to share the name of it so I can download while dreaming of Vegas? Great review, too. I’m almost tempted to cancel my upcoming Caesars reservation and rebook here. Really enjoying your channel!
Hey Jennifer. Aria vs Caesar's is quite the difficult choice. If you like dining, go with Aria. Location, pool, and bars/lounges - Caesar's. That track was privately licensed a few months ago. I'm not even sure it has a name or is even still in my catalog. I'll see if I can locate it! Glad you like the channel - happy to have you here. 😊
Great video James, one thing that bugs me about some hotels though are shower rooms, I really don't like baths being enclosed with the shower behind a glass door haha. Just my preference I suppose, I'm going to Chicago in 2024 and majority of the hotels there have this concept. Annoying, but I guess I'm not there for the hotel room haha.
Thinking of taking my wife here for her birthday in August. I’ve built up enough myVEGAS rewards for a free night here. Plus, I can fly us both free, since I’m a Southwest Airlines employee. 😁 It looks like the perfect combination of luxury and value. That crispy shrimp looks delish too. I’d kinda be torn between Catch and Jean George’s. 😄
Glad you commented on the pistachio cheesecake.. When I saw it I immediately thought "orgasmic!" That's a must for me next time I'm down there. In the meantime, I'll live vicariously through you.
@@Coolist you are a cool guy. I am just an old lady who has to have a table! Lol.. Shows were/some are still, two person tickets. Covid. Enjoy your vids! This last year I went to 8 properties on the strip. Three coming up. Enjoyed the Trump Tower vid. It is on my list! I love to solo Vegas when my old man is working. Nice getaway. Just got back from San Diego. Enjoyed your vids from there too!
Nice review - I agree it may be the best hotel experience on the strip (I've stayed here about a dozen times). I do miss one of their older restaurants, Sage, but they have some wonderful options.
@@Coolist Neither - it was just to the left of Catch and right of the Lobby Bar. I'm not sure what is in that space now. I hope to return July 4th weekend and will check everything out!
I stayed at the Aria a few years ago and was underwhelmed. The hotel is beautiful, but the Wifi was total garbage. I had to call the IT dept. several times and they told me that "everything seemed to be ok". Access to the hotel is away from the strip which makes getting in and out longer and more tiring. The Encore or Bellagio were way better in my opinion.
Rates over the last few months were extraordinarily low. They are just starting ratchet-up now that Vegas is slowly returning to normal. As of the time of this comment, it is still possible to stay at aria for less than $100/night during the weekday.
Don't understand why everyone calls aria so technological lol. It just has an ipad control like the other hotels running a laggy UI with 2010s design language lol.
I just stayed there for a business trip for four days. Hotel is nice but, the entire resort smells like WEED! Hotel and casino. Walking to the room in the halls it smells like weed
I love your comprehensive reviews. Thank you.
Great video! You are my go to when it comes to hotel/resort reviews.
Also, that instrumental that is playing is 🔥🔥🔥
just a suggestion… Pompsie is a great videographer and hotel review guy also. Check him out 😊.

Was anticipating the next drop, didn’t disappoint!! Great work!! 👊🏼
Chris! I was just quite burned-out so I had to take a two week break. I'm back! 😎
@@Coolist I completely understand, great work brother!!

Agree !! Pompsie!!!! His videos are artwork.
Great video! Staying at Aria Easter week for the first time!
Aria a guaranteed awesome stay. Let me know where you decide to eat!
@@Coolist already made reservations for Catch on Easter Sunday! Can’t wait!
The Aria 💕 Wow can't wait to watch this video. Hope to stay here one day.
Aria vs cosmo is such a hard choice! They are quite similar but also quite different.

Wonderful hotel, and wonderful food!
Agreed!!
By far, one of the coolest 5 star hotels
Aria is so cool 😎
4 star
I quite agree. Aria is best of the best 👍
Liking aria more and more after each trip.
Jean-George's on the mezz has the best fillet mignon I've ever eaten. And the crazy thing is, every time I go it's always the best I've ever eaten.
Best steakhouse in Vegas.
That’s a bold statement.
Wow!! What a superb video!!!
Thank you ☺️
Thanks for the video and review. My wife and I will be staying at the Aria on her Birthday in July 2022.
Looks fab. Some food for thought vs the Cosmo. Loving your vids, cheers 👍

That’s Steve the bartender at Catch!!!
Saw him a few weeks ago, great service and nice guy. The wagyu was amazing.
Just subscribed! Awesome videos! 👍
Welcome, Robert! Really glad to have you here. 🤝
@@Coolist : 🤛🏻 👍
I was at Javier’s for dinner exactly one week ago!!! 11:00 pm reservations at Javier’s Thursday 3/11
The ambience was great! Open til midnight and yes!! Right across from the elevator bank!
I also really enjoyed the broad margarita selection and expansive (almost too big) menu.
Agreed, that property is awsome we've stated there 3 or 4 times. Javiers is hands down a top Mexican restaurant, they are excellent there 👌
The Javier's in Vegas might be the coolest one I've been too.
Can’t wait to stay at Aria!
Excellent music choice! Are you able to share the name of it so I can download while dreaming of Vegas? Great review, too. I’m almost tempted to cancel my upcoming Caesars reservation and rebook here. Really enjoying your channel!

My favorite Hotel in Vegas!
Gorgeous property. Great video!

Definitely prefer Cosmo but I do love visiting Aria. We go ~6 times a year.
Cosmo six times a year? You are officially Vegas certified ☑️
Wonderful review.
Thanks Bobby!
It’s Bobby
Love all the vids

Glad you commented on the pistachio cheesecake.. When I saw it I immediately thought "orgasmic!" That's a must for me next time I'm down there. In the meantime, I'll live vicariously through you.
I had to make a reservation for two at Javier's. They weren't taking solo reservations. Plus I had to use the concierge to get a reservation.
I've always just walked up to the hostess and asked to sit at the bar. Sometimes there's a wait, but sometimes I just stroll right in.
@@Coolist you are a cool guy. I am just an old lady who has to have a table! Lol.. Shows were/some are still, two person tickets. Covid. Enjoy your vids!

Just got back from San Diego. Enjoyed your vids from there too!
You seem pretty cool yourself . 8 Vegas properties in a year... I like your style. 😎
Please also do a video on red rock casino. Awesome videos
Thanks, and I'll put it on my ever-expanding list. :)
Nice review - I agree it may be the best hotel experience on the strip (I've stayed here about a dozen times). I do miss one of their older restaurants, Sage, but they have some wonderful options.
I remember Sage. From recollect, it was close to the lobby. Was it replaced by Catch, or the Irish Pub?
@@Coolist Neither - it was just to the left of Catch and right of the Lobby Bar. I'm not sure what is in that space now. I hope to return July 4th weekend and will check everything out!
Everything should be full swing by then. I love July 4th in Vegas - it's a great crowd.
"Everything at your finger-tips," pretty much summarizes your video, James. I thought the room surpassed my expectations.
So when I’m in a room like to watch/see all of neon at night. Will the strip view room allow me to see neon since hotel sits back from street?.
Great review!
This hotel is growing on me, SLOWLY 😎
So I’m having a hard time if I want to stay here or bellagio. Ive never been to Vegas before and I got an offer from Mlife
Are you under 55 years old? If yes, aria.
@@Coolist lol. I chose the Bellagio. Don’t hate me lol.
What do you think of the Aria pools? For a couple?
The Casino Game Is Born
Aria is so nice
Cosmo was always my favorite property in City Center, but Aria is slowly taking that position away.
It’s my favorite hotel in Vegas
Will you ever do a video about Fremont street?
Yes - I've been eyeing a stay at Circa.
Sage too , back in the day
Debating between here and the Wynn for my 1 and done Vegas trip for my birthday what’s everyone think Arias way cheaper in terms of rooms
I might visit the Aria for that pistachio cheesecake and that bed.
You are a savvy individual.
I stayed at the Aria a few years ago and was underwhelmed. The hotel is beautiful, but the Wifi was total garbage. I had to call the IT dept. several times and they told me that "everything seemed to be ok". Access to the hotel is away from the strip which makes getting in and out longer and more tiring. The Encore or Bellagio were way better in my opinion.
Encore is the best in Vegas. I have two videos of that property upcoming.
Stay at a corner suite boss.....the best
Playing Casino Is Good?
I don’t really gamble that much, but the property is amazing throughout…
In A Game
Aria got the best intro music..🤙🏽💪🏽
The track is fire 🔥. However it's my second favorite behind the one in my Venetian video.
@@Coolist yeah the Venetian is a nice track but the way the video compliment the track on this.. the editing was dope you snapped on this one
14:00 That thick cut bacon. OMG 🤤
🥓 😎
BUT IT WASN'T COOKED!
Doesn't look like much bar,lounges, speakeasy options,,or is there?
Ready to Play casino?
That Cheesecake tho👍
The BEST I've ever had. I'd go back just for that dessert.
Aria Is Made To Play Casino
Love carbone
For a luxury hotel the rates are pretty good
Rates over the last few months were extraordinarily low. They are just starting ratchet-up now that Vegas is slowly returning to normal. As of the time of this comment, it is still possible to stay at aria for less than $100/night during the weekday.
@@Coolist im debating aria or caesar for july...great channel btw
I have an upcoming video that discusses that exact matchup.
Why does every person forget Catch was started in NYC! SMH lol
Eh man you've had more than a few slammin tracks on your videos. Is that all through UA-cam or you have a connect?
WHERE WAS THAT BREAKFAST SANDWICH?
I ordered it from the tablet in the room. Might've been standard room service. Also, it could've been from a restaurant. 🤷🏻♂️
You forgot Carbone!!
It’s in my vdara video :)
From what i hear its non-smoking as well.
Truthfully, I've never paid attention and can't recall if it is or isn't. Park MGM is totally nonsmoking.
Ya, I was at Aria same time.... smoking is permitted in most areas
Don't understand why everyone calls aria so technological lol. It just has an ipad control like the other hotels running a laggy UI with 2010s design language lol.
THIS MAN EAT TOO MUCH! LOL!
THIS HOTEL LOOKS BEAUTIFUL! I WILL STAY HERE ONE DAY IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN!
Meh. Cut the music
Cheese cake that really isnt cheese cake
I like bide very much.🚾
THIS MAN SAID HE HAS EATEN AT ALL TWELEVE RESTARAUNTS AT THIS HOTEL! LORD HELP HIM!
I just stayed there for a business trip for four days. Hotel is nice but, the entire resort smells like WEED! Hotel and casino. Walking to the room in the halls it smells like weed
ALL THIS MAN TALK ABOUT IS FOOD LOL!
Aria sucks!! Worst hotel.
