Aria.

Truth be told, I don't spend a lot of time at the Aria. I'm not sure what that's a product of.

I think pretty much every dollar I've ever gambled there has been a loss, so I usually just play at other places where I know there is a better chance to win.

Oh, and this. This is probably another reason I don't love Aria.

Favorite memory - Gem Bar:

I do have to say, for the best soda / carbonation ratio in Las Vegas, is hands down Gem Bar at Aria.

Probably 98.7% of all soda I've ever had in Vegas is flat and overly syrupy, or has too much carbonation and tastes acidic - Gem Bar is the only place I've ever found that gets the ratio right - but who knows I may have just caught them on a good day, I make no promises, your milage may vary - so I will give them props for that.

Chasing that Megabucks.

Kaw.

Favorite memory - Near Miss(es):

I like spinning and then ALMOST winning money ($1,029) - but not winning anything instead. It's fun!

Sure is!

Favorite memory - Big Bets:

I've never played this type of slot, but who are these maniacs spending $1,000 on a slot machine pull?

The best part is when they get a big win (like $10,000), then pay taxes, and find out it's only 6 more free spins - so if you don't hit that win every 6 spins, you're just losing tons of money.

Doesn't stop them though, if we were all good at math, we wouldn't be at the casino!

Favorite memory - 2nd Place:

The 2nd biggest slot win I've ever seen happened on Mother's Day 2025 - on the Giant Wheel of Fortune machine near the front desk. Guy hit for $22,000 on like a $50 bet.

It's not millions, but if you've got $50 per spin to bet on slot machines, you probably already had millions. Past tense. Had.

Note - it wasn't on 'Shadow of the Panther' (pictured here), which I'm pretty sure isn't even allowed to win, it's always funny seeing super old games like that on the casino floor. They probably have to pay too much in royalties to Tarzan for copyright infringement.

So proud of you.

Franken-pickle.

Will you take my picture in front of whatever this thing is?

Well that's not NOT a life-changing amount of money...

Is this what the Wknd meant in that song Blinding Lights??

We only ever play Megabucks games at Aria, am I noticing a theme here?

Now Open

#diet starts tomorrow!!!

Private games for a more discerning clientele. Also, why do I feel like this Valhalla game is made by the same people who make that "Noah's Ark" slot machine?
