Vdara Hotel and Spa

Steven Moctezuma

The hotel is very nice and conveniently located close to the strip with access to the Aria, but multiple issues occurred with service and amenities that ensure I’ll NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN: 1. NO WATER: they tell you at front that they’ll offer you free water bottles, and give you these tiny bottles to grab at any time. But when I go back to grab more later on the front desk staff was visibly annoyed having to grab me two tiny bottles and told me that’s all they can give me and rudely rolled their eyes at me asking, as if they didn’t offer it to every guest at the beginning of check-in. The second time I go they told me they didn’t have any water bottles left. Dying of thirst in the middle of the night, I ended up having to buy two waters at the convenience store for $22!!! I didn’t even want to try to figure out how much the room waters would cost me but I read they’re $20 each. I don’t understand why they don’t have a water dispense machine for free water. Absolutely unacceptable for a supposed luxury hotel. 2. Front desk staff was incredibly rude (as mentioned above) 3. Elevators: an elevator was out of service the entire weekend I was there and the rest of the elevators moved very slow, sometimes not coming at all. 4: Rooms not clean: the room appeared clean when we first walked in but there were little hairs in the sink, lipstick on the towels and little items left over from previous guests like a hair tie and change. Overall, terrible experience and not worth the price. I can forgive the elevators, but the rooms at hotel of this level should be clean, the guests should not be dying of thirst or be paying $11 a bottle for water, and most importantly: the staff should be courteous and nice.

Vdara Hotel & Spa is perfectly located, just a short walk from the Strip, making it very convenient for exploring all the major attractions of Las Vegas. We had a spacious room with a kitchenette, which was great for a more comfortable stay. One thing to note is that everything in the room, including water, snacks, and other items, is for purchase — nothing is complimentary, except for the four small bottles of water we received for free at check-in, which was a nice touch. Valet parking was $40 per 24 hours, which I thought was a bit pricey. I’m not sure how that compares to other hotels in the area, but it felt like an expensive add-on to the overall cost of the stay. That said, the hotel itself offers a calm and relaxing atmosphere, with a beautiful pool area, a spa, and great dining options. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and well-maintained. The views of the city skyline were amazing, especially at night. While the hotel is on the more expensive side, especially if you’re looking for something budget-friendly, the location, comfort, and overall quality of the stay make it worth considering. Overall, a great place for those looking for a quiet retreat near the action of the Strip.

We had an amazing stay at Vdara! The location couldn’t have been better — it’s tucked away just enough to feel peaceful, but still right in the middle of everything. We loved the easy access to Bellagio, Cosmopolitan, and Aria through the connected walkways and tunnels — it made getting around so convenient, especially in the heat. Our suite was clean, modern, and spacious, with beautiful views of the Strip. The hotel feels much quieter and more relaxed than some of the big casinos, which we really appreciated after busy days and nights out. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a mix of luxury, location, and a little calm away from the crowds!

Stayed at Vdara and overall had a great experience. The suites are spacious, beautifully designed, and offer a peaceful retreat from the chaos of the Strip. I loved the no-casino, smoke-free vibe — perfect for relaxing. That said, the rooms are starting to show their age. While still elegant, some furnishings and finishes feel a bit dated, and a renovation would really bring the property back to top form. Service was solid, location is fantastic, and it still feels like a hidden gem for those looking for comfort and calm in Vegas. With a refresh, it could easily be a five-star stay.

My wife and I were really excited for our stay here and the hotel itself wasn’t too bad. We enjoyed the quieter experience there. Unfortunately we had multiple bad experiences that took away from a 5 star experience. First off the parking, we got in past midnight and had a long walk from the parking garage to our room with no real help from staff. We decided to complete the check-in on our own through the app because of unhelpful and unfriendly staff. Second, the room was pretty run down with multiple broken items in it. Nobody expects perfection, but for the price we paid I had higher hopes. Finally, I left the pants from my wedding suit along with a brand new dress shirt in our closet and didn’t realize it until we unpacked at home. I immediately reached out to the hotel and they claim the items were never found. I wouldn’t care if it was something small, but those are some of the most expensive pieces of clothing I’ve purchased so for them to put absolutely no effort into recovery is very frustrating. Overall I had much higher hopes for a property that calls themselves 5 star. Hopefully your luck is better!
