You are such a wise woman @boots. I called and actually got a person who checked. In the upgraded suite i will have a Keurig but in the base suite, likely not. "If available" I will be able to get one from housekeeping. Naturally, I am going to try to pull off a coup to stay in my upgraded suite, but since a Friday night is involved I will most likely not accomplish that, so I am prepared to beg for the coffee maker - HHH.

I have, indeed, purchased coffeemakers from Walgreens in the past. I often wonder if the housekeepers take them home and unload them on E-bay.....

Since we're driving and we'll be there for a few days, if I actually remember I'll bring my Keurig...

My friend is going to Vegas for the SHERM conference at the end of June and is staying here. She is trying to convince me to meet her for the trip . I spent time in the Vdara Spa on my last trip with a MyVegas reward.. LOVED it. I also finally used the short cut from Aria - through Vdara to Bellagio.. WOW was that a time saver. No Crystals - and way shorter time frame than the Tram! Thank you for the photos.. I will share with my friend so she can see what she booked!

Tell me more about this short cut through Vdara! We normally stay at Aria and Bellagio, but always use the tram. Did not know you could cut through Vdara. Which exit out of Aria do you use to access this short cut?

Take the exit out of Aria by the Gelato and sundries shop. There is a circular taxi/ valet area. Walk the sidewalk into the Vdara.. and there is a sky way that goes directly into Bellagio. It brings you in right near where the Tram would bring you in. Takes 5 mintutes. You can also get to Cosmopolitan, go out the same doorway, and take a right before you get to Vdara.. there is a stairway or an elevtor. Take it down one level, cross the street in the crosswalk, and enter Cosmopolitan through the Valet Parking area. You have to be careful here.. as this is the taxi and valet area.. so use the marked crossways and keep your eyes open. Not having to go through Crystals saved us so much time!.

Thank you so much! This is great to know.

My husband thought I was the smartest woman on earth when I showed him this short cut. He doesn't understand my forum interest, but between this forum, and Fivehundybymidnight podcast.. I found quite a few new things - and he was impressed. I actually think I heard about the shortcut from VitalVegas.. but I am not 100% sure, but I know I found out about VitalVegas from Fivehundy.. so it was one of those places.

Crystal's may be a blingy shopping area, but it gives me vertigo. My favorite casino hotel shopping area is the one at Palazzo - interesting shops (an antique bookshop!) and it's beautiful.
