Stayed elsewhere, but wanted to check out Aria's casino.  I won't be back.  It's hard to get to, being situated waaaay back from the strip - cab ride from the Venetian was $12.50.  It smells nasty inside, something like dirty feet, but I think it's wet concrete.  It's ugly like a big empty cavern - a building as huge as Aria needs decor with huge scale, but MGM Mirage went on the cheap and it shows.  Staff are super nice but I don't think the good ones will stay because I heard staff complaining all night long.  Minimum bets at the tables were $5, which was wonderful for me but probably not a good sign for Aria.  When it was time to go I felt trapped because the idiots placed the taxi stand a full 1/4 mile from the casino's exit.  Even though a cab had just emptied right in front of me at the exit, they told me I wasn't allowed to get it and had to hoof it all the way over to where I would be allowed to get in.  Which I did and won't be back.
