I like when the author notes you can get water for much cheaper downstairs at Starbucks for $7.50.
I'd raise hell over $7.50. But $26 ? Minibars have always been an exercise in price gauging - even the ones at Holiday Inn. But this is a whole new ballpark.

Since not even a rich person would voluntarily pay that much, I'm guessing that they're counting on people just grabbing that bottle of water without really noticing the price. Don't have to sell much of a product at a 5200% markup to make money🤮
I've only set foot in Aria once, and my impression both before and after was "ho hum, just another Strip megatoilet." Drastically overpriced everything. Fuck that!

I've wondered why they were built that way, but haven't cared enough to find out why. Doubtless, they are architecturally sound. There are other similar buildings elsewhere. I think the most famous one is in London.
One benefit I can think of is that anyone jumping from one of the higher floor can be sure they won't hit anything on the way down.

That had better be one of the really big bottles of water. LOL.
Actually, everywhere, many hand you some waters at check-in. Just ask, or ask for a few more.
And, either leave a note for housekeeping, or meet up with one in your room hallway, and they will leave you some waters.
The other day in Caesars A.C. there was refridgerator (which I didn't see until I opened what I thought was a drawer, turned out to be the fridge) and a coffee maker and all the makings, but no waters. I left a note, please leave some waters. They left four that day and four the next day. I packed the remainders.

Just wait until the casinos close the spigots from Lake Mead and start charging $50 for bottled water. Plus "water fee" of $6. Plus sales tax. Plus $10 service charge.
If you desire a bottle of water - or two - just order one when you order a drink as you play video poker/slots. Tip the waitress and take the water with you as you return to your room.

I'm sure that the LVA members who don't know what cocktail waitresses are, or that they can bring you a bottle of water, will be thrilled by your advice.
However, this thread is about water bottles in hotel rooms, and as far as I'm aware, cocktail waitresses will not visit your hotel room.

No intelligent person said anything about a cocktaail waitress "visiting" a room - to repeat, ask and get water from a cocktail waitress when ordering a drink while playing video poker/slots AND then take the water to your room.
