We have a first-time to Vegas couple coming with us and this is their first trip away from their four kids together since they started having them (5.5, 4, 2, 4 mo). They wanted a great Vegas experience and I also thought the closer to center strip the better.
Part of me wanted to stay at MGM, but didn't want to be that far south with first-timers. CP was an ideal location, but was a little stiff and overpriced IMO. The decline and pending closing if their poker room was another factor.
V/P was great but a little northish and their rate was a little higher than I wanted it to be in spite if it being June.
Aria'd poker room is virgin territory for me, so I'm definitely excited about that! When I'm not at the B or Rio trying to play some stud or OE I'll give PLO and $2-$5NLHE action to Aria. Unless they get mixed (mid-stakes) games going again, then they get most of my action.
