Vdara Hotel and Spa

Carl Wong

Vdara is strategically located at the City Center adjacent to Aria, Crystal Shops, The Cosmopolitan and Waldorf Astoria. It's also connected to Park MGM and Bellagio via walkways. Although it's at the hub of the Strip, it's actually away from Las Vegas Blvd hence less traffic noise from the room. A portion of the rooms are actually individually owned but managed by MGM. Unit 16032 has great views of the Sphere among other things. It's close to the elevators so there's more noise from the foot traffic but tolerable. The studio layout conveniently separates the entrance with a dining table and kitchenette, a sitting area and the sleeping quarter and the bathroom. It is a good balance between a hotel and an apartment. There's no casino, which is another plus although Aria is just a short walk away with all the actions and restaurants. The best part is you could go to any MGM Resorts' restaurants and charged it to the room. The marketplace on the first floor serves beverages, sandwiches and pastries. There's also Starbucks and a bar lounge. Cleaning is not included for the stay but is available at a fee and additional towels, robes or kitchenware can be requested through housekeeping. Another advantage is the fact that valet parking is complementary (please tip the attendant), and there's no resort fees, saving $70+ per night.

Our room was supposed to be ready for 3pm checkin and wasn't ready til close to 5:39pm. The hotel was without any running water for about 10 hours during our stay. Upon finally getting our room assigned there was a well used facecloth in the bathroom cupboard. There is no on site concierge, no one seemed to have any answers with concern to any of the issues we experienced. No help with bags or greeting when we arrived at the hotel. The hotel is well located with walkways to Bellagio and Cosmopolitan. Aria is just a short walk, and there is also a tram that runs to MGM Park Casino.

Seems like this hotel can’t figure how much they want to charge their guests. Yes they nickel and dime you. & their parking is far and it’s not on the strip. 1. Whatever the Hotel rate is 2. Fee for Parking which they own 3. $16 in room coffee for maker, $22 gummies and alcohol. 4. Resort fee- $55 which only covers a pool ,when open ant Aria( ice room was closed . 5. Many taxes Rooms are a nice size. & look nice.

First time staying at Vdara. It exceeded my expectations. We have stayed at a lot of different places on the Las Vegas Strip and this would be my choice for future stays. It is a non- casino condo-hotel, and is very peaceful and relaxing. The room was large and comfortable- and very clean. Huge bonus for me that there was a normal mini fridge for our use in addition to the stocked fridge. I had a medication that requires refrigeration, and this made it completely hassle free. The pool was relaxing, not crowded. Top notch service at the pool bar. As a kudos to the hotel, the housekeeping staff were warm and friendly, greeting us every time we saw them. They were so pleasant, that it stood out in my mind and made our stay feel even more enjoyable. It is a very brief walk to Aria and an indoor walkway that is connected to the Cosmopolitan-very easy, and quick access to two casinos and lots of restaraunt options. There is a lounge in Vdara lobby with cocktails and limited food menu, as well, making that a convenient option.

This hotel offers a great value for the proximity to casinos and other attractions. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The location is a little off the main strip, but highly accessible otherwise. The rooms are spacious and some have good views of the surrounding scenery. Overall a good stay. Highly recommend if you’re trying to avoid the Casino/Hotel type.
