Aria Gets New Carpet!

Well, it certainly conforms with tenet #1 of casino carpet design: Appear stained even when clean.

I don't get it. There's no color.

@detroit That's true of the entirety of Aria. It's Fifty Shades of Brown.

I actually like it. Quite surprising.

It is a little on the beige and...ejaculatory side. Not sure if that's what they were going for though.

anybody have photos of Venetian's new carpet? There were a couple small squares of it down the last time I was there... it looked like it was going to be horrible, but maybe its one of those things that looked better on a grander scale, once fully installed.

Looks like a disco in a UPS truck. Fail.

Hard to judge seeing a large chunk of carpet. Can't really say I like or hate it till the machines and tables are in place and how it co-ordinates with all of that

Time to worm the horses. Thanks for the reminder.

I like it from the pictures, just a guess, but I'm guessing that it gives a better feel to those areas as it lightens it up some

Any pics of the old carpet for reference?

I had somehow forgotten that the old carpet was a Trippies winner!

Being an Aria fanboy I am hardly unbiased, but the old carpet was rather bland. This one is much more eye-catching and the gold-brown-silver color scheme keeps things in line with the overall look of the casino as it currently is.

That said, given how the new carpet is a lot lighter than the old one, perhaps they could turn down the lights a little now? Because honestly, I LIKE my dark-and-moody Aria!
