Additionally, I received a 30% bonus totaling 4,387 World of Hyatt points, a value of $79 according to TPG's most recent valuations.Īside from booking and earning points through Hyatt, I earned 2,376 Ultimate Rewards points since I'd paid with my Chase Sapphire Reserve Card, which gives you 3x points for all travel.

As a result, I earned 5x points per dollar, yielding a total of 3,375 World of Hyatt points for my three-night stay. The only complaint I had on the technology front was the lack of sufficient bedside plugs which is a complaint I have at a lot of hotels but something I wouldn't have expected at a modern hotel like Aria.While I had the option to book directly with Aria, I eventually decided to book via Hyatt so I'd receive the bonus points I was entitled to as a Diamond Elite member at the time - note that Hyatt changed its elite status levels and titles in March of this year. I really appreciated the way Aria integrated technology into the room. As part of the technology in the room a guest could attach devices to play through the room's entertainment system via numerous connections including USB, HDMI, VGA, AV, and S Video. The tablet also offered pre-ordering at some of the resort's dining including Starbucks and the ability to order room service. The tablet also contained information about the resort including hours of the restaurants along with information about entertainment and retail. Also, the lights, blinds, and room temperature could all be controlled from either the television or from a tablet located on the side table between the two double beds.

The room also had lightning fast free Wi-Fi which was easy to access. For example, whenever we walked into the room the binds automatically opened. What impressed me the most was the technology in the room. As a heads up because of the curvature of the hotel we could see into some of our neighbors' rooms and they could see into our so bear that in mind if you have all of the blinds open. The room had black out curtains which were great for sleeping and sheer curtains which were great for blocking out the strong Las Vegas sun. While we did not have a view I really liked the floor to ceiling windows and I thought the room was quite impressive for a base level room. I hoped we would at least receive a room with a better view at check-in so I was disappointed with this unimpressive view. Our Deluxe Queen room (6252) was located on the sixth floor and had an unimpressive view of the ceiling of the lobby and the Vdara resort pool. Once we found out where the elevators to the rooms were located there was a security guard stationed next to the elevators who ensured each time that a member of our group had an Aria room key card. As a first-time guest at this resort I think the hotel should improve the signage directing guests to the rooms. The process for getting to our room after check-in was not clear since the entire first floor of the resort is really focused on getting people to and from the casino. Once the check-in process was completed we headed towards our rooms. One thing to keep in mind is that when booking through The Luxury Hotel and Resort Collection there is no way to add an your membership number for World of Hyatt and you must add it along with your M life rewards number at check-in. Finally, I added both my M life rewards and World of Hyatt rewards number to the reservation to make sure I could earn World of Hyatt points. However, because of the program I was able to receive early check-in to my room. She found my reservation and handed me a paper confirming all of the benefits available through the program and apologized that no room upgrades were available. The Invited Guest line had no wait and an agent greeted me and asked for my MLife Rewards number and I told her I have the benefit of the check in through my reservation. However, because of my booking I was able to skip the normal line and use the elite check-in line which I estimated saved me at least an hour checking in. The Invited Guest line is an elite check-in line normally reserved for elite members in MGM's M life rewards program.
