Loved the Aria!!! Everyone recommended the Encore and had me second guessing myself. I thought the Aria was wonderful, clean, great service from check in on. Great pool, the location was in the center and a easy walk. I was not dissapointed at all. Our room was on the 16th floor, city view. Lots of closet space and very comfortable beds. It's not a cheap hotel, but nothing in Vegas is cheap anymore. Well worth the money and would go back again. Lots of great restaurants and just a great vibe hotel. The gym was big with lots of equipment. Stayed at many hotels and by far this is my favorite so far.
