Aria Resort Club Lounge Upgrade
Last year Aria resort in Las Vegas added a Resort Club lounge for hotel guests who booked an upgraded room at the Resort Club Level. Resort Club Level rooms are essentially standard Deluxe Aria rooms on higher floors with lounge access and enhanced perks.
The price difference to book Club Level room over a standard room seems to vary from $85-$140 per night in the same room and up to $260 for the same room with a strip view. I recently booked a comped 4 night stay at Aria in the base level room which is a Deluxe King. 3 weeks after I booked, Aria sent me an offer to upgrade to a Resort Club Room with a better view for $65 per night. I did a little research and found that the going rate during my stay for the same room is $256 more per night than the room I booked. I’d say this represents an excellent value!

Free breakfast and all day beverages alone is probably worth $100 a person at the very minimum. If you add food and bev savings to the higher floor, strip view and priority check in, this $65 upcharge seems like a no brainer.

Thoughts
Last year I stayed in the Sky suites which was an awesome experience from a service perspective. Specifically I felt that the lounge helped me save a ton of money (especially since the Fiji’s in the room are $25 each) and that lounge doesn’t include real food like the club lounge so the savings will be bigger.
Very cool! How did you get 4 nights comped? Do you do any of that MyVegas game stuff?
No just through playing. Sometimes I have them and some trips I lose them so I would say I’m not consistent enough.
